Looking for a good distortion plugin. Im not big on the ohm ones and im looking for something with a few more options than the internal virus distiortion.Something that can beef the sound up or compleatly obliterate it but still sound smooth and fluid.

Splat!

Izotope Trash. But I mostly use that on drums, but can produce good results on bass too.

Sonalksis have some Filter distortions in the TBK series, i think.

I mostly use, Ableton's built in Distortion. Live 8 has a brilliant new distortion plug :D

Morphable presets make this plug-in totally more decimating than the others.

Distortion is pretty much central to the music I write.
My favourite software distortion is the Scream 9 unit from Reason.

Other than that, if you have a particular sample or piece you want processed I could chuck it through my culture vulture for you, if you want.. :>


By the way, I have found that the Virus distortion sounds much nicer if you also saturate the filter a bit too... prior to discovering this all the distortion I was getting out of my virus sounded kinda thin and fizzy and weak.

I like the scream from reason too but reason dosnt have live input to route the virus through.

Yeah. One of the main sucky things about Reason. :/
If you won't be performing live though, and just need some post processing type thing, it would probably do...

This one is not smooth and fluid, however. If you are on Windows I URGE you to try Boogex from voxengo. It's free, easy to use and sounds soo good. I'm going to miss this plug when I'll switch to OS X.
