I am interested to know what are the strangest sounding/ unique software FX out there.

I do really like the U-He fx range as they add that little but more to the standard FX

The GRM-tools come to my mind. They were devoleped by the Groupe de Recherches Musicales of the INA. Yes, it's the GRM founded by Pierre Schaeffer in 1951.

Sorry, I could not find a link in English:

I have old versions of the Classics and they're definately powerful tools. I don't use them bcs. I don't like to work with software.

I like SoundToys stuff, also have always loved Livecut from Mdsp @ smartelectronix (and its free!!!)

Izotope Stutter Edit is another fun sound mangler Ive been messing with.

Guitar Rig is one hell of a flexible FX unit but due to it's name most people only use it for amp modeling. It has granular effects, pitch shifting, wild delays (tape, and bbd mulations), an IR reverb, and a ton of other stuff. Plus it has freely assignable modulation (lfos, envelopes, sequencers). Such a powerful tool, they should really change the name.

Sound Toys is very cool as well.

If you like U-He stuff but want something a little deeper than Uhbik, both MFM2 and Zebrify (included with Zebra) might suit you.

Fabfilter's Timeless and Volcano are also capable of some really out there effects.

Soundhack's Delay Trio is free.

Audio Damage has some great stuff.

Definitely worth checking out.

+1 on GRM tools
+1 on Audio Damage

Tom Erbe's Soundhack and Spectral Sound Shapers plugins.

But the *strangest* would have to be Argeïphontes Lyre by Akira Rabelais:

Yes Norris are great.

Thanks for the guitar rig info, think it sounds much better then the Waves GTR.

PSP's Nitro and N2O are worth a mention here. Flexible multi-fx structure that supports feedback loops and automation via step sequencers, lfos, envelope followers etc. Somewhat like a TC Electronics Fireworx.

in addition to what's been mentioned,

Artificial Audio's Obelisk:
OBELISK

Fscape (standalone, similar to Soundhack)
FSCAPE

Spear (spectral editor)
SPEAR

iZotope's Spectron looks interesting:
