distort signal above threshold

Dario's icon

I've been experimenting with distorting signals above a certain threshold. Mainly by using the [threshold~] object which opens and closes a [gate~ 2] into a [*~ 30] [tanh~] on one side and a dry signal on the other. It sounds sorta like crap tho. Anyone have a better way they do this?
