Dynamite has two modes: *Clipping* and *Distortion*.
*Clipping* works by amplifying the audio signal (the "Drive" setting), cutting it off at a certain frequency (the "Threshold" setting), and then applying makeup gain (the "Gain" setting).
*Transmogrifier* works by rounding the wave to a square wave, cutting out amplitudes below the "noise threshold", and applying makeup gain (generally negative, to prevent hearing loss).
The UI is GTK2-based (since I use Ardour), so it may not work with all DAWs.
