"Crunch, by Chris Reed is a nice distortion plugin. Very aggressive.

To retain the sound of the original, I'd blend an effected version of the sound back in with the original..."

Thanks for the feedback.

I've heard good things about Chris Reed's Crunch (and it was freeware!). Unfortunately Roland got pissed off

at the "slight similarities" between Crunch and their distortion pedal and sent him a cease & desist order, forcing him to pull it from his site. Know anywhere that I could still find a copy to try out......

.....So you're pretty happy with the Roland stomp box for distortion? I tried a Big Muff pedal a while back and it was just too fuzzy for what I was looking for (sounded great on guitar though). Would the Roland impart an agressive & beefy character to a 1 osc. synth like say, an SH101?
