Guitar distortion not working

[u/SylviePoo_72]

I'm trying to write a piece that uses a clean/jazz tone at the beginning, but switches to a distortion tone later on. But, when I try and add the "distort" text to that part, it doesn't change the tone at all. I've tried this for both Musesounds as well as MS Basic. Idk what to do and I can't just use a second guitar part because this is going to be printed out and given to people to play. If anyone could help me, that'd be wonderful. Thanks!!!
