For a lot of things, particularly if you're after a "period" sound, something like the Dolby A trick works well - might be a bit subtle unless you drive it fairly hard.
Audio Thing's Type is is EXTREMELY accurate to a modded Dolby A (you didnt just NOT decode, you normally would bypass the lower bands).

However, I will bet dollars to doughnuts that you will get the same results with XCTR and then you can go past that as well.

Both processes add harmonics, Dolby A is a nonlinear process
