Vintage 1978 Roland Space Echo RE-201!Analog Tape Delay! Made In Japan!
This is really cool. You are looking at a Vintage 1978 Roland Space Echo RE-201 Analog Tape Delay. This is a very rare analogtape delay unit.From The Web:
The Roland RE-201 Space Echo is truly a Vintage piece of music technology with lots of appeal even today. It\'s not a synth, but a Tape-Echo machine for creating true analog echo effects. The RE-201 is a simple system in which a small loop of tape records an incoming signal and immediately plays the recorded sound back over a couple playback heads before being erased over by new incoming audio. A real analog system with warm, gritty and almost noiseless operation, the Space Echo can provide warm, unpredictable and highly tweakable echo effects.
There are twelve settings to adjust various tape loop speeds, number of repeats, levels, intensity, etc... It can even generate some of its own response loops for instant sci-fi effects. It features a built in spring reverb for even more classic analog effects. The RE-201 not only has Vintage appeal but is still widely used to get those dubby, slightly unpredictable, musically analog echo effects.
Produced from 1974 to 1990, the unit was widely used and continues to be preferred over digital delay units by a number of guitarists, who praise its sound and reliability. It features 11 different repeat modes as well as a reverb-only mode, wet/dry mix for Echo and Reverb, Bass and Treble EQ knobs, Repeat Rate and Intensity, two mic inputs with volume knobs, one instrument input with volume knob, and dry and effected output jacks anda built-in spring reverb tank.
Our Tech did a major service on this RE-201. He replaced the tape. It is brand new. Cleaned Heads, Pots, Switches and Jacks. De-Magnetized the Heads. You will not spend any additional monies on this Roland. Gig Ready on Arrival.
This unit has the operating instructions in Japanese. This must have originally been built for the Japanese market. All of the lettering on the instrument control panel is in English. (See pictures #1, #2, #3, #6). Cosmetics: Excellent Condition. Keep in mind that this is a 39 year old Vintage tape delay that has been used. There are some scuffs and scratches and some minor tears in the tolex. The Instrument Control Bezel in great shape. All lettering is still legible. Overall, good condition. Look at the pictures closely. They will tell the story.Call the shop at [phone removed by ] with any questions.We are here to help!Top 40 guitars is a Veteran owned business.
