Not really - digital is a bit too clean. You could fake it with a

There are actually some internal problems when you slow the "tape" down
too far - you get some digital aliasing. Should be fixed, but these things
take time. If people submit sound-quality bug reports those things get
moved up my todo list, and there are things on my todo list that have been
there for a year or more, so dont hold your breath :(
Yeah. Its not exactly useful for many people, but there are a handful of
people who really wanted it :) Sadly the documentation for it
(http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/ladspa-swh.html#id1408) is full of
typos, but homefully you can make out what I meant.

Although this can be an effect in its own right - last
week we
were trying out LADSPA Tape Delay, trying to get the sound of a
Watkins Copicat (explanatory picture follows for the
post-analogue generation):
Did you manage to faithfully reproduce that warm muffled warble of
worn tape? I find some of
the names of the plugins a bit obscure, not being a
techie or sound engineer as such, I mean "Barry's Satan Maximizer"
sounds great, but what does it DO?
Try it - you'll see it's a very good name for that plugin...
