No I'm not after that effect, I'm looking for something that will distort
the HF. Take one HF made of clay and push and pull it about a bit. It still
retains the basic shape but now there are xtra bumps and lumps ridges and
dents. Noise simply adds spikes.

I have a feeling that adding 3Dnoise as in the superpatch and isopatch
objects to the HF would allow undercuts. I would also like to see a twisting
call where the base remained the same but the HF was twisted as it got
higher.
