Hifi Amplifier Overload Simulation, Digital Clipping Simulation – Sound Design Forum

Hi,

I am trying to simulate the distortion happening when you overdrive the input on hifi equipment or digital processors. I think both tends to be a bright “scratching” (I have no better english word for it) that just occurs on the actual peaks, and all plugins I have rather sound like a distortion guitar amp, much more smooth, but at the same time flattening the dynamics really strongly. How do you provoke bright and digital sounding scratches without touching the dynamics too much?

Thanks & Cheers!
