Mod depth ? you mean wow and flutter ? both ?

Can you post a screen shot of the preset ?

Hi, i was experimenting with distortion plugins last couple of days searching for the best solution in my case (industrial ambient) and my pick at the end is Thermal.
Not only it sounds good and it is multiband but it has a bunch of other effects build in and drag and drop modulation makes it easy to dial in some movement to keep things interesting.

The best one is Cassiopeia by Klanghabitat, because its about 85 - 90 % there.
We used it to explore the secrets of actual tube saturation. All this experience can now be found in the plugin version. After countless AB comparisons, we believe we can reach 85 – 90 % of the sound character of the original. In our opinion, given the current state of art, this is more than amazing. We would never conclude 100 %, since this what hardware in the end is made for. The range of functions is the same as the original, in addition to total recall.

Thermal, Movement and Portal are part of my go-to tools.
They are genius.

UA's Struder A800 is a thing of beauty. I combine it with Saturn 2 to add some "life" to VST synths and hardware, particularly Sequential synths, which can sound a little harsh sometimes. I know you can EQ out using the Pultec trick but I like to convert the harshness into something better.

Nice. But how to upgrade? I cannot find a "login" button anywhere to see the offer.

imho nothing is better that console saturation,for exampe just loading bx_console AMEK 9099 and immediately gives some sparks and quality to the sound,no idea how they do it,but all other saturators,exciters so on i've tried so far are not even close to realism of good console emulations.
Cheers :)
