Hi Scopelings.

Im searching for a good distortion type effect (vst) to use on my laptop since I wont have access to my pulsar distortion effect on it.
Of course I have access to the dist FX in Cubase SX, but I´m not overly impressed by that and I was wondering if there was any better, fatter and warmer vst out there.

Thanks in advance.
