Roland RE-201 Space Echo

Rare example of a very early native 220/240v RE-201 Space Echo, for sale serviced and in excellent working order. Superb sound comes as standard with our machines, but this one still manages to stand out above the rest. Has had a full service by our tape echo specialist with various new parts as required, including new tape. Working very well and covered by our guarantee of your satisfaction.

220/240v machine (not converted). Correct voltage will be set and plug fitted for UK or Europe.

Heads show some wear as you would expect with an early machine but it is not significant and the repeats are even and clear.

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: 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 don't have tape stock currently, but you can buy tried and tested replacement Roland tape loops from Echo Fix. These are the only tapes 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.
