From what I know yes. Most distortions are.

Exactly.

Some effects are mostly done in analog, for example distortions,
choruses, flangers, phasers. Others are impossible (?) to do in analog,
like pitch shifters. Here are a couple of hints:

* Unit has digital in/out
* Unit is from ZOOM (*)
* Unit lets you save effects
* Unit lets you select different effects
* Unit has "morphing" features (like Digitechs X-Series)

Or just ask the producer

(*) ZOOM has made analog FX, but it's a small number compared to the
number of their digital FX
