I don&#x27;t think the issue is with the system&#x27;s ability to replicate the effect. Rather, with a digital system you&#x27;re now faced with the problem of explicitly representing the effect, where the analog system had the effect built-in. If you can&#x27;t quantify the effect then you will be unable to replicate it, and if you can then you have to do the work to replicate it. If these effects are a signature of your work, I can see how it would feel like a step backward to suddenly have to quantify them, and it would be very tempting to switch back to the equipment that already applies the effect.
