I know there is a unit in cubase I’ve just seen on marcel woods future music in the studio, is there any VST for ableton which are easy to use and will give the same distortion??
I’ve also used the scream in reason, something like that would also be cool! 
Overdrive i think that has the squeaky squelchy function on it…saturator/overdive/redux any of those might work

nice amp simulator - scroll to the bottom of the page for free version
Abletons built in overdrive as mentioned is really good
Camel Phat is dope
if you want a good tube then [url]http://wavearts.com/products/plugins/tube/[/url] is really good not free but still a very nice sounding tube but you’ll need at least 4 3ghz cores to run this in real time
Cheers fellas, looking into all now
