As nouns, amplitude distortion is a hyponym of distortion; that is, amplitude distortion is a word with a more specific, narrower meaning than distortion:

distortion: a change (usually undesired) in the waveform of an acoustic or analog electrical signal; the difference between two measurements of a signal (as between the input and output signal)
amplitude distortion: distortion that occurs when the output signal does not have a linear relation to the input signal

Other hyponyms of distortion include nonlinear distortion.
