Although this can be an effect in its own right - last week we were

trying out LADSPA Tape Delay, trying to get the sound of a Watkins

Copicat (explanatory picture follows for the post-analogue

generation):

Using a short delay and about 2 taps, we managed to get the sound we

were after. Maybe we need a user-contributed bank of presets for all

the LADSPA plugins - it's much easier to get started from a good

basic effect.
