Can anyone recommend a distortion FX plugin or pedal that's close to sounding like the Kontakt distortion FX?
Maybe try the free Denise Audio bit crusher they just released.The particular character of the Kontakt distortion is not over exagerrated but adds a bit of harshness and edge -- if only Kontakt could be used as an insert effect itself. It reminds me of a bit crusher to a degree.
Which distortion FX do you mean, there are a bunch of them in Kontakt. I know a lot of them are also to be found in Guitar Rig or as Native Instruments standalone plugins. If you have Komplete, you might have them already.Can anyone recommend a distortion FX plugin or pedal that's close to sounding like the Kontakt distortion FX?
The Kontakt distortion aliases like a SOB. Part of its character you may be having a time producing is some the harshness aliasing causes. Plugin developers tend to look to reduce aliasing as this can really fog up a mix and make the high end kind of brittle... (I.e. that harshness you like).The particular character of the Kontakt distortion is not over exagerrated but adds a bit of harshness and edge -- if only Kontakt could be used as an insert effect itself.
