Bottom Of The Closet Treasures.

I have one, but it doesn't do the same. It doesn't thicken everything up like the tape does. 

You have a link for a better version?

Better is subjective - especially when you have not named the product that you currently use.

This year, I have been mostly using AirWindows ToTape4. http://www.airwindows.com/totape4/ http://www.airwindows.com


As has already been pointed out, digital emulations of tape overload never sound exactly like intentional magnetic tape overload. Furthermore, not all tape overload is created equal. A machine that runs the record and playback signals through the same head unit will distort differently from a machine with discreet record and playback heads. The condition of the heads is a factor. In the case of your Vestax cassette four tracker, the built-in noise reduction will also influence how transients turn out.

dbx II is a compansion system. Drum sounds get seriously mangled (if you want them to).

By comparison domestic market Dolby B and C are just means of reducing the tape hiss by assassinating the high frequencies. Much like amputating an arm to fix a broken fingernail.
