Most conventional overdrives reach their limit around 20x. SANCTIFY keeps accelerating into a second range, pushing toward 200x until the selected clipping law becomes the dominant shape of the signal.
More gain is not the point. The transformation after it is.
808 tightens the input and clips symmetrically. MOD opens the low end and clips each half differently. Choose the law, then decide how far it is allowed to go.
Let the distortion become violent without surrendering the entire signal.
Focused symmetry or deliberate imbalance. Push either path until the signal becomes something else.
