Re: Got Bass?

ANYTHING that is not part of the original signal is distortion. So yes they add a lot of "distortion".  ANY effects processor "distorts" the signal.  Not to many singers have a natural reverb coming out of their mouths. 

Some "distortions" are preferred to make it "sound better".  This is not always a bad thing-as the term "distortion" would imply.

 Harmonic distortion is a different animal.
