Really, you can never have too many distortion effects.
I don't use it a whole lot, but I really have the full wood for ConcreteFX's QAmp -- extreme, dare I say ludicrous distortion so sexy you might lose bladder control. More importantly, watch your speakers!

I found that the hard limiter on some of Sascha Eversmeier's plug-ins can give drums a really nice bite when pushed hard. Try cranking up the input and output gain fader on dominion, and turn down the fader in your host. It squares it off without becoming totally harsh.

Pushing any good hard limiter would do similar, but I like dominion because you can also mess with the envelope really intuitively.

It's not only the distortion you use, it's how you use it!
Adding EQ before the distortion will give you a much wider varity of tone than adding EQ afterward. By adding EQ first you can chage the amount of distortion at different frequencies. Adding EQ afterward changes the frequency balance but not the distortion characteristics.

Good advice, and for further exploration: Keep the original sound, do a send to an EQ or exciter, maybe even HP filter, distort the new signal, and mix it in with the originalIainF wrote:It's not only the distortion you use, it's how you use it!

In TC Electronic Native Bundle v3.0 there is a filter plug-in named Filtrator. The best "controlable" distortion I have ever heard in software is the Drive section of this Filtrator plug-in. Works perfect for everything and is easy to shape graphically.
The Filtroid plug-in for Powercore, although similar to Filtrator, has only a knob for Drive, and not the extensive graphical waveshaping tool of Filtrator.

If you have a compressor that allows distortion, I'd say this makes the most interesting result.
