Hello Chip
I think that for a paraphonic effect an external stomp box will be
always more useful.
But distortion per voice after the VCF or even after the VCA would be
very interesting. A sound with low cutoff frequency, but a good amount
of resonance, can sound like hardsync if sent through a fuzz box.
