==== Clipping ====
Clipping is a form of distortion where the amplitude of a signal is too powerful for the medium transmitting it. This could be a cable, a vacuum tube, or a digital device's internal resolution. Looking at the resulting waveform, it appears that the peaks of the signal are "clipped" off. Different devices clip differently, and while some forms of clipping are desirable (most often tube clipping), others are usually undesirable (cables or digital clipping).
==== Cutoff Frequency ====
The cutoff frequency on a low-pass or high-pass filter is the frequency where the EQ acheives 3 db signal reduction - basically the frequency when you start to notice the effect.
==== Decay ====
