Why do my speakers sound distorted at low volume?

Why do some speakers sound fine at low volumes but distort at high volumes? ... You're much more likely to hear distortion or cause damage if your amplifier is under powering the speakers. Higher volume means asking the amplifier for more power. If it is unable to provide enough, your speakers will distort.

How do I get my power amp distortion at low volume?

Good distortion at low volumes means cranking up the preamp gain (possibly using an overdrive pedal as well), but keeping the master volume low. Or cranking both up and using an attenuator between the power amp out leads and the speaker.

What is the cause of distorted sound in amplifier?

Distortion of the output signal waveform may occur because: ... The input signal may be too large, causing the amplifiers transistors to be limited by the supply voltage. The amplification may not be a linear signal over the entire frequency range of inputs.

How do you overdrive a low amp tube volume?

By turning up the gain on your tube amplifier, you can cause the overdrive to occur. Then, by turning down the master volume control, the gain that is sent into the power amp is significantly reduced. This causes the preamp to create saturation rather than the power amp.
