I'd say that there's not one saturation/distortion unit that's going to be suitable for everything, demo/ try some out and decide for yourself is the best way. If your talking specifically at kicks, I really like voxengo tube amp, also myself and I'm sure a lot of other people will recommend d16 decimort. Satin and Sonimus Satson I find to be really nice saturation plugs. Also for distorting kicks, I usually find blending the signal of the distorted version with the clean signal gives best results. Obviously though it depends on source material and what your going for, hope that helps.

The posts above me are good.

I own a lot of plugins like this and I like them all for what they can do on certain elements, as there are no "best" choice.
SDRR is a no brainier like Faust says. I got it a day after it's release and I use it in every project.

I've been using voxengo tube for a good while, but I quite like the saturator in Ableton now. Also Satin, because it should be on everything.

If I had the spare cash, Fabfilter Saturn. I need to stop demo'ing their plugins...

I hate these fucking threads with plugins that only cos a few Euro. I have the IVGI, which I think is fine.. but I didn't know it had a bigger, fuller featured brother.

Great. Thanks. Now I feel obliged to reunite the family. Hope they don't sneak a female in & start breeding. I'll get cleaned out.

Yep, Saturn is an amazing plugin.
Use it on all my projects, for me probally the no-brainer in my toolbox.
