Hey Florian, > Not for all. Todays digital delay machines sound much better, and even = the digital re-emulations of old tape/disc-delays are superior to the = originals. I have tried several renowned digital emulations of tape echos, = including strymons, empress=E2=80=99 and Boss=E2=80=99 own. There=E2=80=99= s no way in hell I=E2=80=99d trade my 301 for one of these. While they = can emulate some of the individual characteristics they fail at the full = block of preamp, tape, EQ and spring reverb combination. Not to speak = about the physicality of the real thing, where you can actually interact = with the tape producing slow downs or tremolo effects. To me there is no = modern substitute for this. Never had a disk delay, so I can=E2=80=99t really speak of what makes = those special.=
