Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Keeley Magnetic Echo Delay V2 is a magnetic tape echo emulation delay from Keeley Electronics (Edmond, Oklahoma), delivering the warmth, degradation, and modulation of vintage magnetic tape echo units in the second version of the Magnetic Echo design. V2 refines the original Magnetic Echo with improved tape saturation, wow, flutter, and repeat character at Keeley Oklahoma boutique quality.
The Strymon Magneto is a four-head digital tape echo from Strymon (Westlake Village, California), modeling a four-head tape echo machine with independent delay times and volumes for each head for complex polyrhythmic echo effects. The Magneto captures the character of vintage four-head tape echo machines with Strymon engineering for detailed tape echo emulation.
