Roland RE-301 Chorus Echo

NOTE: This echo is serviced but awaiting voltage change. Price includes the fitting of a new 120 or 240v transformer (currently 100v), it will ship within 5 working days of purchase.

Sounding great and working very well following a full service by our tape echo specialist with various new parts as required, including new tape. Heads in excellent condition.

The RE-301 is a great piece of kit: the multi-head echo combinations, Accutronics powered 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.

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 recommend. 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.

Condition

In fair to good cosmetic condition with signs of use: scuffs and scrapes across the face and the top corners of the metal plate are slightly bent. The tolex is clean with only minor wear. Internally, this unit is very good with some oxidation to the metal surfaces and chromed areas. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.

Voltage Information

The voltage of this unit will be set up to your requirements with a new transformer fitted - either 120v or 240v. This means that the unit will ship within 10 days of purchase (please ask if you need it sooner and we will do our best!).
