Interesting! If you have time, I'd love to hear audio examples. I'm not sure what "noisy" and "clean" mean in this context- surely that means the algorithms are not the same? I don't really understand the distinction between "algorithms" and "quality" here.So I finally tried it again. The algos are the same, but not the quality. In Byome, they are quite noisy. In Dent, they are clean (even without the oversampling).Just to follow up on this, it says in the manual it uses the same algorithms. I demoed some of the dedicated plugins side-by-side with Triad recently because they're on sale, and I couldn't hear any difference, at least when it comes to Dent, Sandman, and G8 (maybe Zip as well, I can't remember).I'm not sure it uses the same algorithms. Byome/Triad are multi-effect plugins, so they probably decided to save on CPU.If they're using the same distortion algorithms, in what way is the quality higher? Oversampling? Genuinely curious.The quality of distortion in a dedicated Unfiltered Audio plugins is higher though than in Byome/Triad.One I forgot to mention is Unfiltered Audio's Tryad.
It's a multiband multi-fx plugin, but has the distortion/saturation algorithms from their other plugins, which imo are quite good.
