1. Slate Digital Virtual Tape Machines (VTM)

The best emulation out there imo. Subtle saturation adds some nice creamy quality to the sound. Love it.

2. ToneBoosters TB ReelBus
Most versatile of the three. Gives you lots of configuration options. Great price too.

3. Waves J37

This is more like a tape distortion machine. Over-exaggerated and hard to control emulation. Too much effect for my taste. Looks very nice though.
