As the emulation of analogue electronics has improved, many have moved completely ‘in the box' for convenience and recall. It's perfectly possible to create fine recordings using computer‑generated audio alone, as many a number‑one hit record will testify, but many of us still feel the loss of that ‘mojo' that, we believe, analogue hardware can provide.
