I've been trying to get good quality distortion for a long
time now on this program and i still can't get it. I know
how to put almost every effect under the sun on my music
but, the distortion effect has me boggled be yound belief.
If someone could please post their settings or tell me how
to do this I would be very thankfull. :)

First you need to spend about $300 on a line 6 pod or something similar. Or maybe a thousand on a nice
stack and another few hundred on some mics and a preamp.

Otherwise you're SOL. ;-)

I've experimented a bit with Forge's distortion, which can
yield interesting effects, but it's not gonna sound like a
stack. I know that there are some DirectX plugs that
emulate close mic-ing of speaker cabinets and distortion.
