Product Description
Super clean example of our latest modified RE-101 featuring the new motor slow speed modification (developed for the Stereo Space Echo project) and early preamps.
This is the first 101 with this mod to be offered for sale. If it's sold, you can preorder the next one via this listing.- freshly overhauled and in excellent working order.
The motor slow control is the extra pot added on the face of the unit - it is controlled using a footswitch plugged into the footswitch socket. It allows very slow/longer repeats - almost to a standstill. These get very dark and unstable at low speeds - perfect for dark weirdness and otherworldly long echoes. This should be considered a sound designer's mod rather than something that gets you ultra long clean guitar delays!
You can see/hear Tony switch the slow motor on/off a few times in this demo of the new 636-500 (using a Stereo Space Echo with the slow speed mod):
And here's a demo with the 101 - it comes about 20 seconds in:

We’re tape and disc echo specialists with many years’ experience working with and restoring these machines. Our team of engineers see and restore more Space Echoes than anyone else on the planet and bring our machines up to (or better than) factory spec. Our rigorous testing regime ensures machines that not only sound incredible but are also as reliable as it’s possible. Guaranteed to be the best Space Echoes you’ll hear and give years of reliable service.
We’ve supplied Roland and Boss with Space Echoes for exhibitions and shows.
Dan and Mick of That Pedal Show chose one of our RE-101s for their studio collection.
The BBC hired six of our RE-101s for the Proms’ television performance of Daphne Oram’s ‘Still Point’.
We’ve serviced and supplied machines for many artists and bands including Hannah Peel, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Run The Jewels, Arctic Monkeys, Hainbach, Colleen, and Sunn O))).

Note that we may have machines in a range of conditions (and prices) coming through – check our other listings or get in touch if this unit here isn’t the right one for you.
REPLACEMENT TAPES: Fitting any tapes other than those from us or Echo Fix will invalidate the warranty on our machines. We have sourced unused and dry-stored tape stock which is as close to original RT-1L tape formulation as possible (without conclusive confirmation from Roland themselves we cannot describe it as being an exact match) for their original RT-1L replacement loops and limited stocks of our replacement loops are available now. We’ve written a bit about our journeys in tape, which replacement loops to use in your Roland echo, not to mention the misinformation and poor quality tapes that seem to fill the internet. We may also have a very limited supply of sealed original NOS RT1-L tapes – see our store or get in touch.
Some crackle is possible from pots/switches if not used for longer periods - this should clear with use.
Our Space Echoes are the best you'll hear - guaranteed.
