SP- 808 has several different vinyl simulation patches saved as default, which you can edit and re-save.
The 808 vinyl simulator also has no built-in compression like the SP-303 or SP404 OG unfortunately.
In general the onboard FX of the SP-808 are excellent, I've owned both the SP-808 & 808-EX versions, the main problem is these machines were released at the wrong time alas,the archilles heel of the samplers being the use of Zip Drives for sample playback witch are pretty unreliable and prone to disc corruption and crashing.
