I made this piece by turning a car alarm into a sound design source, using the Hunter stereo distortion from
@landdevices . What makes this pedal especially interesting is that it was designed as a stereo gain pedal with a dry/wet blend, which already makes it much more flexible than a typical distortion box. It is based on a classic op-amp distortion circuit, but with added tone shaping, including independent high and low controls, so it is possible to push the signal into aggressive textures while still shaping the top and bottom end with precision. It also offers gain, level, and stereo operation through TRS I/O, with mono support through TS as well. 
For sound design and synth work, the stereo aspect is a huge advantage because it helps preserve width, movement, and spatial detail instead of collapsing everything into a narrower distorted image. That is especially useful when working with synths, stereo sources, layered textures, alarms, impacts, drones, or wide effects chains, because you can add grit and intensity while keeping the left-right image alive. The dry/wet blend also helps a lot here, since you can keep some of the original attack, pitch definition, and clarity from the source while blending in distortion for character and tension. Land Devices also highlights that this blend control is great for adding texture to synths without losing clarity, which makes a lot of sense in this type of application.
