CamelCrusher is a free ‘colouring’ multi-effect plugin. It offers two characteristically different distortion sounds which can be blended together to create a wide variety of tones and textures. Great for guitars and drums.
There’s also a warm, smooth analogue-style low-pass filter with lots of resonance, and an easy to use compressor to fatten up the sound. Able to assign a MIDI controller.

CamelCrusher is a free ‘colouring’ multi-effect plugin. It offers two characteristically different distortion sounds which can be blended together to create a wide variety of tones and textures. Great for guitars, drums and plenty more!
There’s also a warm, smooth analogue-style low-pass filter with buckets of resonance. Assign a MIDI controller and start tweaking!
Finally, let’s not forget the easiest-to-use compressor you’ll find anywhere. It can ‘phatten’ up your sound as quickly as you can turn up the ‘Amount’ knob! There is a manaul, too.

Berrtill is a distortion unit modelled from circuit bent hardware. Might get some interesting effects out of it.
Distortinator MK2
Filed Under: VST Effects/Distortion | report broken link
A simplistic distortion plugin, with two modes. The first mode is a modified threshold-type distortion (although the modification isn’t particularly noticeable, sound-wise). The second mode is called Sine Wave distortion, although it’s actually closer to frequency-modulation, as the audio input is used as the index to a sin() function. Works with Windows and Mac.”

TS’ Secret
Filed Under: VST Effects/Distortion | report broken link
Soft clipping alone is not sufficient to emulate the elusive creamy character of a legendary vintage overdrive pedal. In order to explore the secret ingredients of legendary sound and feel, every subtlety throughout the entire signal path should be meticulously analyzed and documented. Only this ensures authentic recreation of the exact sound and feel of the legend in the digital domain. TS’ Secret is the result of this keen but painful philosophy. Just like its legendary role model, TS’ Secret preserves the original dynamics of its input signal, which avoids muddiness and vastly improves clarity and responsiveness. Regardless of the overdrive amount, it stays in focus and delivers the ultimate touch sensitive dynamic punch.
Extremist
Filed Under: VST Effects/Distortion | report broken link
“Extremist” is a VST multi-effect plugin for guitars on Windows OS. It’s main purpose is distorting guitar signal to receive ‘extremely heavy sound’. This effect is NOT a tube amplifier simulator, and it is NOT a cabinet simulator, however some methods of altering signal are similar to tube amplification characteristics, but only similar!
The effect works in stereo mode, without any latency. It uses 15-band stereo equalizer.
Settings:
Drive, Dry, Wet, Volume - amplification & mixing signals knobs.
Feedback - level of signal feed back.
Clip - clipping level.
Reverb - stereofonic reverb effect, adjustable up to mid delay.
Mid Boost - mid tones booster.
Eq Q - width of equalizer each frequency band.
Pre HPF - filtering low frequencies of effect input.
Post LPF - filtering high frequencies of effect output.
Noise gate - noise gate.
Amp curve - amplification characteristic.
Lock bars - operate equalizer sliders in mono/stereo.
Post gating - noise gate applied before/after effect.
Smoothing - signal smoothing (hiss reduction).

A fairly standard waveshaping distortion plugin, made more interesting through the use of feedback to control the shaping. Can get pretty loud and obnoxious.
Fuzz+
Filed Under: VST Effects/Distortion | report broken link
This plugin is a model of a famous vintage fuzz pedal. There are four controls:
Fuzz knob: This controls, as you might imagine, exactly how much fuzz is applied to the signal.
Tone knob: This controls the brightness of the distorted signal.
Output knob: This is the output volume of the device, when it is active.
Bypass button: This works just like the switch on a stomp box. When the orange light is lit, you’re money. When it’s not, the input is passed directly to the output. This can be automated for a slightly different vibe than automating the effect bypass of your host.
FuzzPlus2.2 is available as a VST effect for Windows, and an AU or VST for OSX. The OSX versions are Universal Binaries, and require OSX
10.3.9 or later for PPC Macs or 10.4.4u or later for Intel Macs.
