Product Description

Roland SIP-300 for sale. Awesome design and build quality (see Tone Report blog excerpt below).

In very good condition, serviced and ready for action.

From The Tone Report blog:"These units were released in 1980, and were touted as “preamp” units even though they contain other effects. The SIP-300 is the guitar version, and features a footswitchable overdrive circuit, while the SIP-301 is the bass version, featuring one of the juiciest compressors ever released. These SIP units barely count as multi-effects since they only include two effects, but they provide enough versatility in their EQ sections to make the cut. The equalizers are a three-band type, with arrays of cut and boost switches, as well as a mids switch that sets the specific frequency of the midrange: the SIP-300 offers 1kHz or 500Hz switching, whereas the 301 offers 250 or 500Hz. The overdrive circuit on the 300 is interesting; it features two cascading gain stages with only a volume knob for both. When stacked in front of a hungry power amp, this can be devastating. Both units feature a choice of unbalanced or balanced outputs, as well as an effects loop. Both are fairly rare—the 301 being more so—but are certainly worth seeking out."

Condition

Very good.

Voltage Information

100v Japanese model - it will run on North American mains 115/120v without a transformer (we run all our tests using 120v power); however, a step-down transformer is recommended for extended use. A step-down transformer is required in the UK/EU. We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made unit if required.

Tax

For sales in UK the price will include 20% VAT. Buyers elsewhere may incur VAT or other local taxes on import.
