I did try the Analyzer XL, and couldn’t see the distortion, though I could definitely hear it. But just now I amplified the signal to bring the noise floor up where it was visible, and I could then finally see the noise in the Lateralus output. If I really push the Alma overdrive hard, then the noise becomes audible (and visible) as well. But the Lateralus amplifies that low level noise to audible levels even at very low drive settings.
I am using one of your filters a lot recently! I think I have discovered a new use case for this filter that people may get excited over. If I can just get over my fear of recording a demo with voiceover, then I will post a patch and pseudo tutorial video demonstrating the technique. If it takes much longer, then I’ll simply post a patch and video with a written explanation instead. Written discription only just doesn’t have the same impact.
