Product Description
We usually have machines in a range of conditions (and prices) coming through - check our other listings or get in touch if you want a machine with a specific spec or condition.
This preorder is for a great example of the mighty RE-201 Space Echo, for sale overhauled, set up for 120v or 240v operation depending on your location, and in excellent working order.
This machine has been given our “standard” full overhaul which, in addition to the basic service, recapping and set up, includes:
Every machine is also tested by a musician (test equipment: their ears!) before shipping. Every one supplied with 12 month warranty and ongoing service support.
REPLACEMENT TAPES: Limited stocks of our replacement loops are available now. 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). 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.
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.
Some crackle is always possible from pots/switches when not used for a while – this can be cleared with use.

This machine has been given our “standard” full overhaul which, in addition to the basic service, recapping and set up, includes:
- One of our new tapes made from the same formula as Roland RT-1L,
- One of our pinch rollers - more info to come about these, but essentially it's an original pinch roller with a new bearing and new rubber; time consuming to produce, but only the best will give the best long term performance,
- Heads re-lapped to bring performance to better-than Roland factory spec - they are now more even and run at low head gain (so you have the maximum amount of headroom available),
- Motor serviced/rebuilt as needed
Every machine is also tested by a musician (test equipment: their ears!) before shipping. Every one supplied with 12 month warranty and ongoing service support.
