I love Ohmicide and use it all the time. It really is an amazing plug. It's a bit daunting at first and it may sound a bit "over the top" at first, but if you read the manual and give it time, its versatility quickly becomes apparent. Yes you can completely and utterly obliterate the sound with some ridiculous overkill distortion/feedback, but you can also use it subtly to add a little edge or body to a sound. It really is amazing being able to apply different distortions to different frequency bands. There are loads to choose from and each one comes in 3 variations. You can apply it to the linked stereo signal or apply it separately to left and right (which is great for adding width and interest). There's also some pretty insane feedback if you like that sort of thing, and you can automate the pitch of it. But just being able to separate the frequencies means you can apply distortion to a drum loop and leave out the kick, for instance. Or obliterate the kick and the snare and leave the hats. The possibilities are endless.
It also gives you a gate for each band with threshold, attack and release controls, so you can for instance set the distortion so it only kicks in at a certain level.
I got it for considerably cheaper in a Sweetwater (I think) sale last year, but I think I would have probably paid $83.74 for it in retrospect!
My only gripe is the preset system, which arranges presets in banks (but you can only name the bank, not the individual presets in it). Having said that you can automate morphs between the presets so that's another wild and wacky area to get into...
