If you want a good "easy mode" distortion plugin, this is it. Lots of presets to flip through to find your desired sound, or if you want to customize, there are many knobs to choose from. It easily goes from light tube distortion to way-over-the-top solid-state distortion. The interface looks like an old Realistic radio receiver which is fun.
