would you say that even though an outboard fx is digital,
its algorithms are much more sophisticated,
resulting in a 'better/denser' version of a chorus or flanger?

They're superior to every plug that I've used. I don't know if the algorithms are more sophisticated. They just sound better. BTW eventide/ksp converters are excellent. Not as good as Apogee ADDA16X but I wouldn't hesitate to track through them.

BTW I do use vintage warmer and the psp tape sat. And I still think that they sound like plugs and not like analog gear. They are useful though, and I can do things with them that I can't do with a Fatso or outboard comps.
