Where to get itIncluded with Ableton Live. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.ableton.com

Overdrive is a distortion effect inspired by classic guitar pedals that delivers aggressive saturation while maintaining dynamic range. It features a band-pass filter with X-Y control, post-distortion tone shaping, and dynamic compression adjustment to preserve punch even at extreme drive settings.
