im trying to make some distortion effects in max, and i already saw the other article about pong~ and degrade~, but i want a good overdrive distortion and other types, is there some methods or tutorials available? fold/wrap and bitcrushing only go so far...

Darwin posted some guitar effects stuff a while back in his excellent Guitar Processor series. Based on overdrive~ and onepole~, the overdrive module is simple, quite nice and easily modified:

I recall adding a filtered feedback stage to it at one point, and got some nice sounds.
