Someone hit a wrong chord, a tape machine malfunctioned, a guitarist bent a string too far — and suddenly music changed forever. In this episode, we dig into the specific moments where errors, failures, and happy accidents didn't get fixed in the edit, but instead got studied, imitated, and eventually defined entire genres. From the fuzz tone born out of a broken amplifier channel to the stuttering vocal effect that launched a thousand imitators, these weren't mistakes — they were discoveries wearing the wrong disguise.
