unless I missed it in the thread, seems like nobody mentioned ProF.E.T.

it might be the wildest/harshest distortion plugin I've heard... which also happens to be free, and it's one of the VERY few freebies I keep in my collection

I remember i've bought Ohmicide because used by Nine Inch Nils... And you can listen (probably "Fragile")...

Cruelest, harshest: simply the first waveshaper where you can draw your own curves you can get your fingers on should do imo.
Many of them are available for free (on the inet or already come with your DAW), no need to spend money on those
At the same time best sounding though is another question. Probably overall Ohmicide, though Driver has an even nicer tone, but it's trickier to setup properly without more feedback noise than actual distortion, is single band only and just one algorithm.

Try a wavefolder like the Jaws effect in Repro-1.

BitCom from Audio Damage was so harsh I could never find a use for it ... seems to have disappeared from their catalogue. It's not even listed in their discontinued plugins list

Oh yeah, forgot that one. Trash is still my go to for extreme distortion but Kombinat is great also.

Ineardisplay Regressif for Atari Teenage Riot 2bit-madness.
Izotope Trash 2 for turning *anything* into Merzbow Pulse Demon power noise.

(honorable mentions: Inear Display Amalgame, Inertia Sound Systems Instinct, Sonic Charge Permut8).

Woah, OP you got a good list here!
These are the good ones!

Id add..
Recently, AudioDamage Grind has some interesting unique harsh tones.
And, shoutout to Christortion-
https://www.kvraudio.com/product/christ ... tian_budde
Been using it for I dont want to know how long.
Its not the cruelest, but its got a special sound.
Tip tho; For cruelty, add u-he Runciter after your distortion. And turn your speakers down.

Have you thought about putting a ring modulator in line with distortion? That can get you some really aggressive results.

Looking for the cruelest, harshest distortion plugin
