Well.....there are still analogue machines out there that will add those gorgeous 2nd and 4th harmonic distortion. My Studer console for one, which is largely Transformer based (As opposed to Chip-based) and with it's baxandall EQ, with smoother, more natural sounding filter slopes than your typical Low/High shelves....Also see Manley's MASSIVE PASSIVE!
There are other hardware unit's that replicate quite faithfully analogue tape distortion, tube, transformers etc......See
Cranesong HEDD
And then we are getting ever closer with plug-ins....Magneto comes to mind, which can simulate tape saturation without the added hiss.
Dont give up just yet Juho! Digital will redeem itself.....
