Any Analog Reel to Reel Simulator Schematic

[umutmt]

Hello there, In time , there would be a trend which tries to simulate reel to reel saturation with analog circuit . Do you know such a schematic for above purpose or more ?

Thanks,

The only simulators that I know of are written in Software as VST's.

To the easiest way to actually simulate tape in analog is to use a real tape machine, that is just how it is done!

Different formulas of tape do sound a bit different from one to another as well.

FWIW

I've seen a few crude ones, basically a resistor driving back-to-back diodes going to ground. For a still-gross-but-second-approximation, have high frequency pre-emphasis before this circuit, then a complementary de-emphasis afterward.
