I normally use this for tape Echo and it works great for that. I got it a few years ago and immediately was like "yes, this is what I'm trying to get my echo plugins to do" (there's no accounting for taste, I'm sure some of you are gagging reading this).
So last night accidentally left the switch in source vs tape mode and massively overloaded the line in amps and ended up with a really cool saturated sound on an organ part I was fiddling with. Somehow I had never tried that before. I just assumed the amps would sound awful overloaded, not so.
Anyway, they sell working units of these for less than $300 and that's cheap enough to compete in plugin land. Dirtbox saturator and lo-fi tape echo for $250. Plus it looks cool.
