Tape saturation effect preset

[Colorado Axeman]

Here's a tape saturation simulation for the FM3 that attempts to mimic the effect of the Strymon Deco pedal. The scenes vary from clean to light OD, and the amp is Shiva. The blocks in the preset work as follows:

1. pre-emphasis
2. Increase harmonic distortion/add low frequency/odd harmonic transients using light octave divider with LPF
3. analog tape delay block, modulated LFO to add micro pitch shifting artifacts
4. compression
5. drive block w/ soft clipping
6. de-emphasis

Very cool!

There's a bug in the 1.04 firmware that keeps randomly changing the mix of the pitch block to 100%, including when the preset is first loaded... this should be set at 5% or it will sound very wonky!
