Cheers Eric, very interesting. Do you have a graph for Sonar without either of those effects on for cross reference?

Certainly, the console plots seem about what you'd expect: relatively flat for SSL, bass-heavy for Trident.

Frequency response would just be a flat line & 0% THD+N

Yeah, that's what I was assuming. Does that bear out in practise? I suppose it would.

To the OP, thank you. Dear Dan (or other Cakewalk rep): Could we get some background (blog post or what not) on the development of the Tape Sim? How modeled? What modeled? Etc. Thank you!

Do Overloud reps ever post here? Perhaps they could talk about the creation of the tape sim. (what modeled and how) I (and I expect others) find stories like that very interesting.
(It could also help sell the producer upgrade given that other tape sims cost as much or more as the studio-producer difference.)
