This one sounds amazing and is working perfectly; it's increasingly difficult to find any Roland Echoes as nice as this, especially the less common and highly-regarded 301. In top operating condition having just been serviced and calibrated for optimum performance including fitting a new tape. Ready to give reliable service. Our tech says its one of the best he's ever heard.

Face has minor scuffs and marks. Tolex is in good condition, although it has some damage to the corners of the unit. The heads are in excellent condition showing low wear.

Roland Space and Chorus Echoes are amazing machines - and this model is a stunner: the multi-head echo combinations, a good spring reverb, Roland chorus and the Sound On Sound feature all add up to a classic piece of studio gear.

A fine example of this iconic machine: Brian Setzer's favourite tape echo.

It is a 120v model.

Roland Space and Chorus Echoes are amazing machines - if you're only going to have one tape echo, then this is the one (IMHO): the multi-head echo combinations together with a great spring reverb adds up to a classic piece of studio gear, the sound of which you've heard on countless records. It could be said that this machine is the sound of dub.

There are currently no operational issues with this machine, but please be aware that these units require looking after and that regular use and maintenance are key to keeping this in good working order.
