Best free distortion plugs

Post by thetaco » Thu Jan 22, 2009 8:59 am

Sort of like the other thread about filters I figured this could be useful.

These are the ones I like:

Greasetube:
it's pretty rare nowadays but you can find it in this thread on DOA

I need to find a good simple bitcrusher that I like, any recommendations?

I still love the Grease Tube. One of the first plugs I'll install after a fresh install. Real simple but sounds fucking ace.
