Another Saturator plugin

[xtreme sounds]

which free saturator/distortion plugin covers the most ground?

I agree, we have enough saturation plugins. Let's talk about reverbs instead.
I'm really liking Malibu on guitar.

If you don't mind VST2 / no M1 support, Kombinat Dva by Audio Damage: https://www.audiodamage.com/pages/free-and-legacy

MWaveShaper, MBitFun by Melda for truly creative distortion.

Lets you exclude low frequencies, which is not common in a free plugin.

Quite CPU intensive.

With saturation/distortion, I would rather look for good sound.

This one is quite nice, and flies under the radar here: https://wavearts.com/products/plugins/t ... or-vintage

Klanghelm - IVGI is great for it's x-talk function.
Analog Obsession - PreBox can be useful sometimes, it's build different.
GSatPlus by TBProAudio & Gearspace is very flexible.
