I'm trying to track down something from a vague memory. An effect which uses attack to set the gain. Sort of the opposite of compression, though the overall loudness doesn't increase. And, sort of like touch-sensitivity in a tube amp but more so. If you play gently the sound is clean, but dig in at all and the distortion is cranked up.
What is the official or common name for this effect?
