"Damaging and destroying your cassettes will greatly increase all of the wonderful characteristics that tape already offers such as: wow and flutter (a kind of garbling sound from speed changes from the stretched and wrinkled tape), distortion, dropouts (big time - and oh, so unpredictable) from the magnetized particles loosened, loss of frequency (variable - depending on the amount of damage) mostly in the high end, loss of volume (related to dropouts except that it lasts for much longer), a lovely 'crunch', and more freaky stuff! Because of the unpredictable and random nature of damaging a physical medium (tape) it's probably impossible to accurately "model" these effects using digital means (DSP)."
