Product Description
NOTE: Currently awaiting service. It will be supplied in full working order and sounding as good as it looks. Shipping estimate is 15 working days from purchase.
This is a very low use Space Echo indeed as can be seen from the felts and heads. In addition it has clearly been dry-stored in its box as there is no sign of any corrosion on the metal parts - you can see your face in the catches and hinges!
This will be 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 months warranty and ongoing service support.
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.
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.

This will be given our “standard” full overhaul which, in addition to the basic service, recapping and set up, includes:
- One of our new tapes
- 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, NOT silicone - 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)
- Rebuilt motor if required (unlikely for this machine).
