My Reccomendations go to;

CamelSpace will work on 32Bit and 64Bit platforms,

Prepare to be entranced! CamelSpace can take any sound you throw at it, be it a pad, a synth line or a drum loop, and generate a dizzying array of dynamically-evolving, gated rhythmic textures.
An enormously powerful 128-step 'trance gate' sequencer controls panning, filter cut-off and volume, while independent LFOs provide still more mind-boggling modulation options.
A tempo-synced stereo delay and powerful auto-panner ensure that your sounds are always on the move, while an enhancer (with 'Xcita' and soft saturation), a flanger and a high-quality reverb all add 'sparkle'.
A stunning graphical user interface puts all the controls at your fingertips, while the X/Y pad allows easy real-time manipulation of the most important parameters.
With the intelligent 'Randomize' button, new sounds and inspiration are just a click away. 256 attention-grabbing presets, organised by category, are also included. Find out more in the easy-to-read manual.

CamelPhat will work on 32Bit and 64Bit platforms,

CamelPhat is the ultimate phattening processor! A powerful 'colouring' multi-effect that's been specially engineered to work wonders on guitar, bass and drums, adding warmth, punch and presence wherever they're required.
Four characteristically different distortion effects are included, which can be used separately or blended together to create an endless variety of tones.
The unique 'Magic EQ' enhances the low end like nothing else – it's the perfect kick drum sweetener! Add to that an easy-to-use analogue-modelled compressor, three resonant filters, two LFOs and an envelope follower, and you've got one seriously phat package!
A stunning graphical user interface puts all the controls at your fingertips, while the X/Y pad allows easy real-time manipulation of the most important parameters.
With the intelligent 'Randomize' button, new sounds and inspiration are just a click away. 128 attention-grabbing presets, organised by category, are also included.

Glitch will work on 32Bit platforms Only
(Free)

chops up your audio in real-time and applies a variety of effects which can either be chosen at random, manually sequenced, or a mixture of both. The sounds it generates range from quite subtle to extremely bizarre, depending on how much you tweak the controls.

Extreme in what way? Audio Damage has some pretty mental stuff, which I love using (I've just reviewed their latest plugin; BigSeq2 for the next MTM). Obviously kudos go to Reaktor and Max/MSP, but more often than not I'll get an extreme sound, by pushing a standard effect in a way it's not meant to be pushed. You can do some really incredible stuff from inside Guitar Rig if you start controlling effect parameters with envelopes and LFOs. Especially parameters that are usually of the set and forget variety.

Not looking for anything inparticular mike, just Though It would be Good to see what Poeple are using and maybe Get the Low down From them.

I have Resently strated using Guitar Rig as an Fx For other sounds apart from the obviouse Guitar , allthough i do have also have another Fx Unit/Pedal type software, that i got with Steinberg VG Electric Guitar I use To spice up and get some Movement Going on On .

Thanks Mike

I Will look Foward to That mark, i suppose an important Point also, is How to Balance out these extreme sounds in the Mixing Process , as we all Know Pumping up the Distortion and Tubes and flangers (Flangers Boost more and phazers can detract certain sounds more) etc, along with other Fx Cocktails can Be a tricky Proscess to Get Right when starting out, thus
You ofen here the words Compress and compress, when it comes the dance genres i am into, when will This become a problem If so many Compressors are Fighting against each other and is it best to leave Mixing until after these FX or before and after, what Rules do you suggest mark. A few words of wisdom From You would be nice in Conjunction with what ever other aspects of extreme Fx you Will write.

I Learn a lot for myself experimenting on a daily basis, But in am always open to Further learning The technicalities with such Topics, and in the long run it will save many wasted hours getting a great track, to find that it all goes all pair shaped when it come to balancing and mastering after extreme FX are applied.

I am sure their will be many readers Interested.

Thanks mark

I suppose the main point is contrast - not using one type of compression, or the same flavour of distortion. Ultimately, if each sound has its own identity, then it’s far easier to knit it together as part of a bigger picture. But I don’t want to give away everything before next month…! ;-)

Oh, and my favorite 'extreme' plug-in is probably iZotope's Trash. I think it gets used every day I'm in the studio...

izotopetrash

Trash brings creative control back to the artist. Define your distortion sound with the Trash toolbox of effects or recreate the warmth and depth of the classic distortion sounds. Reenergize and inspire your playing with fresh, exciting tones. Plug in, rock out, get Trashed!

iZotope Trash is the ultimate tool for selectively adding distortion to your tracks. You’ll find just as much use for the subtler tone enhancements to your other tracks—tape saturation for vocals, overdrive for keyboards or a pinch of fuzz on a lead guitar, for example. Chain pairs of distortions together or apply distortion independently to individual frequency bands. Trash is compatible with most Mac and PC hosts, supports 192kHz and employs 64-bit for great fidelity regardless of how nasty you like your sound. Trash is the king of distortion—and at a price that smokes the competition. read more.

My Tip 1
when Experimenting with such fx_Never Forget to Record any takes that May Not be off use at that particular moment But in their own Right sound cool, and later down the line, They may come in handy to spice up your track, or Fill the gaps when a track Becomes Repetitive or maybe one just gets Stuck for further ideas, Or Just File it away For resampling in the future.
