Curiosity got the best of me this morning. I pulled out the D-Scope & analyzed the Frequency response & THD+N of the Pro Channel Tape Sim / Console emulator.

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.

Tape sim looks about right - slight smiley face.

The noise plot is fun. 60Hz & all.
All the euro users might subconsciously think something is a bit off
