GClip and ClipShifter have visual representations of what you're doing to the waveform.
I know, i was talking about bit-crusher though.

@ ferez21:
for clippers without 'visual representation', you can use one of these after your clipper:

Not sure but Logic's bitcrusher seems to be more of a waveshaper? I dunno, try these...

I preferred gclip to serp clip (based on loudness and GUI mostly :oops:), but maybe someone else can clip better than I? Going to try some of those in this thread :)
Following this thread I have tried (again) GClip vs SerpClip3 (the former got erased after being exposed to SC3).

The results were the same : GClip had its time but SC3 is the new king (for me).
I can second that. Holy shi-. SC3 gets me between 2-3dB more headroom than GClip, and GClip was already beating every other clipper by a large margin. All hail the new king!

+ 1 for Event Horizon

This plug-in is a specialist for soft, analog-style clipping. You may want to check for reviews on the internet. As it seems, Event Horizon is also used by broadcast engineers.

Vladg's Limiter Number Six has an excellent clipper section on it. Before we get into just asking for a limiter, I will say that it is an all one package with a compressor, limiter and clipper. Just shut off the compressor and limiter with by clicking on the bypass button and it will save you cpu and you are free to use the clipper, which is very very good. Oh yeah and it's free....

Yep. I'm fairly sure the clipper in LNo6 is serpclip, so yes it is absolutely fantastic.
