I applied my idea of asymmetric gain mentioned in another post to create a new type of electric guitar distortion effect.
I recently figured out how to process audio signals via my own computer codes, so it is fun to try to develop new effects.
My algorithm is:
1. Apply a little EQ, reverb, limiter, and compressor
2. Normalize signal to 1/4 of max
3. On the Left channel multiply only negative signal values by 4
4. On the Right channel multiply only positive signal values by 4
* Maybe I should call up Waves and offer to license the algorithm to them for a new plugin ;D

I'm way out of my league even commenting this... but from the sounds of it, this is something i'd use to add grit to a track copy. For example if i was trying to make vocal track stand out a bit better i might make a copy of it, compress & eq it + add distortion, and layer it below the main vocals. So that the effected track wouldn't be heard, but it would be there to add clarity. Kinda like a reverb that's more felt than heard.
as Hary Cary used to say "Hey, you got something here"....
that is cool
