free overdrive?

[rpc9943]

hey all

I love overdrive and want as many as possible - looking for as many free overdrive plugs as i can find... I only have a few and wonder if I'm missing out- I'm not talking about necessarily like tls-saturator- more like sloppy mda overdrive... But would prefer more options... Any good ones guys?

This kvr query gets free things that are listed as "distortion/overdrive/amp" which includes a few things that aren't really that.

From TBT, grease tube, tube limit, and preamp.
Voxengo tube amp has it's days.
For multi-band, Tridirt.
PWM Drive is pretty wicked.
Camelcrusher definitely

ooh thanks never knew about camelcrusher-- we'll see about the rest- for some reason i could never get greasetube to do a good overdrive. the others i dont think i even tried- voxengo tube amp is good but isnt it more like tls_saturated driver? i never liked tridirt for some reason
got pwm drive going to try these all thx chase! also christortion sounded neat

IMO greasetube is the best distortion for pads. IMO it doesnt work well for fast basses and the such. Voxengo tube amp is definitely different. Can't say I've tried any overdrive like it. It definitely wont work the best every time.
