anyone compared the hardware distressor vs a Vst clone?

[thefyn]

Ive noticed a distressor in the racks of a lot of producers who get a good saturated pleasing distortion to their tracks.

What are the Vst options out there, and which ones come closest?

Two vst's that i know of tried.

SKnote is making one. It should be released rather soon.
I was not impressed at all by the Pensadia Sor8.
