So I had a theory, much like how dithering works on bit depth to cover up truncation distortion, if your clipping threshold was slightly randomized with shaped noise, the result would be a more pleasant and dare I say more "analog" way to clip. I couldn't find anything that would let me test this theory so I decided to make it. It works! When this logic is inverted it can also be used as a bass flutter effect without the need for sidechain. So basically it's a mastering tool AND sound design tool. I also added a bunch of features I thought would be nice like LUFS matching and Oscilloscope.
I'd be curious to see what you guy's think of it. Here's a little advert I made, I'll do something more "serious" and less TIKTOK soon (if the demand is there).
I've built a plugin to tackle the problem of foldback aliasing in a unique way. "BuzzCut | The Erosion Clipper"

Interesting, will have to check it out, and sorry to say the video wasn't quite as annoying as I expected to be!
Fun to see different takes on existing FX, in some ways your lateral thinking reminds me of the Alembic/Bag End ELF/INFRA low frequency system - instead of using standard crossovers with ported cabinets, they used a dual integrator processor (no phase shift) on sealed cabinets operating below the cab's resonance frequency, with a dynamic HPF that raised its frequency when approaching clipping rather than standard limiting. Not the most efficient design, but the tightest, quickest transient, lowest bass I've ever heard.
All the best with your launch!

I’ll need to look into this” Alembic/Bag End ELF/INFRA low frequency system“ sounds interesting. Appreciate that you didn’t find the video too cringe 
I’m new to this “marketing” thing. Appreciate not immediately ripping me to shreds! Also, if you’re not a clipping connoisseur… you should be 
In my opinion the idea of clipping in general suffers from a sticky out of date bad reputation.
