Where to get itIncluded with FL Studio. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.image-line.com

Fruity Blood Overdrive is a distortion plugin that creates overdrive using classic techniques to produce compressed and soft sounds, as opposed to harsh digital distortion. It features an integrated band-pass filter for processing non-guitar audio and works particularly well with guitar sounds. The plugin employs a multi-stage signal chain with pre and post filtering to shape the distortion character.
