Here's how it sounds like before n after fx:
Soundcloud
the change in timbre is just more resonance on the daft filter, and the movement comes from automating the cutoff.

In fx chain 1, I removed all the high end and boosted the sub quite a lot, then I distorted it and added some notch filters. (mostly tube and mech disto in camelphat)
In chain 2 there's a bunch of EQ's, just boosting up the high end that came with the distortion. also, freq split in patcher and a short delay on the mids. and some reverb.
in chain 3 I removed the low end, boosted the highs even more, some multiband compression and a waveshaper at the end to distort it a bit more.

If there's something specific you want to know bout it, just tell me, but that's pretty much the basic processing behind this.

Wait so was your point to remove the actual high end from the patch and replace it with that of what's gained from distorting? That's what I gathered but idk.

Wasn't really the point when I started, but that's pretty much what happened yeah. Boosting/distorting the lower freqs created alot of harmonics and shit, and I ended up boosting them. Ofcourse, there was still a tiny bit left of the high end from the original patch, but that was barely (if at all) audible in the end.
Ninja edit: it was actually originally to take away the ugly harmonics from some bitcrushing in the first part of the original clip I posted
