Hey There. I am searching for a device/vst where i can perform several effects on the master bus to give the whole thing some variations/twists
i assume sp 404mk2 covers this use case to a specific extend. are there others which give me more bang for my buck?

Cableguys Shaperbox 2, and specifically the TimeShaper part of it will do glitches and stutters as a VST:
(that video is for TimeShaper 1 but it should give you an idea). You can “perform” with it as you can save a bunch of different presets and then switch between them with MIDI notes.
the bundle comes with a bunch of other shaper effects too that you can combine and stack together (filter, pan, drive, noise, crush, etc), each with EQ so you can do multiband stuff. I really like it, it’s very flexible and powerful but pretty easy to use, comes with a bunch of presets to get you going. The Shaperbox bundle is on sale at the moment, and is worth trialling imo.

MC-707 and its scatter.
downsides: a bit too big

Stutter Edit 2, usually a lot cheaper when on sale.
Sugar Bytes Turnado
Output Movement, bundled free with some Presonus hardware
I find output movement veeery buggy. For the moment I’d look for something else. Of course ymmv
thanks those are some decent vsts. any hardware suggestions?
+1 for Stutter Edit from iZotope.

In hardware, the Meris Ottobit Jr pedal can do stutters/bitcrushing/filtering, I have one and like it for fills or general destruction! The Chase Bliss MOOD and Hologram Electronics Microscosm can also do glitches and stutters, but I’ve never used them.
I want that for my Elektrons! You can even load scatter settings from other projects! So nice!

I tried ottobit and liked it but it seemed one dimensional.
I have a red panda tensor that does reverse and sorta glitchy stuff. Its cool enough that i keep it for occasional weirdness.
I had a pladask elektrisk fabrikat and those are really really nice. It does stutter/ glitch/granular very well and in many different ways.
Red panda particle and some of their other pedals enter this territory as well.

Roland mx-1 mixer, can be had for less than an sp-404 mk2 these days (used) and it has quite a few tricks up it’s sleeve

Timetosser might be a hardware effect worth exploring as well.
norns diy shield with glitchlets app
besides the looks, the aira stuff was pretty cool actually. Jam oriented…

I have a folder of glitches/stutters that I made with the demo version of Shaperbox 2 and some percussion loops. I also have HalfTime and love it. Cableguys are amazing!
