Having played a lot with the old Sound-on-Sound settings on old Sony 
reel-to-reels (none of which I ever owned, alas!) in the 70s whenever I 
encountered them, I remember recognizing the onboard delay between left 
and 
right channels as the same I heard from Fripp's use of a pair of Revoxes. 
I've never really been happy trying to replicate that delay with boxes or 
software, as there was always 'something' different from what I remembered.

Perhaps it's the difference between a tape effect and a synthesized one?
