" As you say in guitar amp it is different and the distortion overdrive is what they look for "

Mike, just to anal, what most guitar amps shoot for is harmonics & OD in the pre-amp and input stages. Harmonics in the output stage. OD in the output = very, very loud. Some output bottles have that magic overtones, even at moderate volume levels.
