Can't wait to try it. Amazing Toolbox upgrade price!

As a standalone VST it's somewhat broken in Reason. You can't always successfully switch distortion types. However, if you throw it in Snap-Heap it will work as intended. KHS is aware of this as a few folks (including myself) pointed it out on their Discord.

That said, this is a great plug in and addition to the snap-heap family.

What is a Non linear filter?
Does Reason have something similar?

Thought it sounded like a very interesting idea from their video.

I'm no expert here but 'non-linear' just sounds to me like it means not in a one point to another point (in a straigh9t line) fashion. That's my take on it anyway.

Someone else will obviously be more scientific but looking at the video, I think it means it can emulate a more hardware type filter as those filters might not be so regimented and have irregularities which add to their colour.

It just means it is able to be a saturating filter, like the ladder filters in Thor as one example. The saturation takes place in the feedback loop, which means it is different than if you just add a saturation stage before/after the filter. There are plenty of software filters that do this btw, Reaktor has these options as do many other products.
[IIRC, their Ladder Filter also does this]
