One thing that might be a bit different about OS's distortion compared to other tools is the way the distortion volume works (the slider next to the distortion drop-down menu). This doesn't affect the amplitude of the signal going into the wave shaper. Instead it cross fades between the original undistorted signal, and a 100% distorted signal (this is also how the reverb volume works).
Changing the amplitude of the signal going into the shaper can be handy to produce different sounds, but I couldn't implement it that way due to technical limitations. If you want something like that, you can change the volume of the notes, because that volume is applied before the distortion. For example, check out the sawtooth bass in this sequence. You can hear the tone change as the note volume increases, because it uses more of the shaper curve.
