PRODUCT INFORMATION

Roland SRE-555 Chorus Echo for sale complete with rack drawer, serviced and warrantied by us.

UK/EU export model 220/240v.

The faceplate is clean and it presents very well when racked. However, the rest of the unit is showing its age with patches of oxidation to internal surfaces - not unusual for one of these units and priced accordingly.

Supplied serviced, set up for your voltage and sounding superb - covered by our one year warranty and lifetime service support.

The RE-501 and SRE-555 were the final evolution of Roland's tape echo tech - high fidelity with fantastic chorus and sound on sound - read more about the different Roland models here. Overhauled and running well. This machine has been given our “standard” full overhaul, plus adjusted for self-oscillation (Roland removed it from this model). In addition to our standard service, recapping and set up, this 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),

Head mountings modified to allow more precise adjustment and alignment,

Power supply overhauled, tantalum caps replaced and other recapping as required,

Motor serviced or rebuilt as required.

Every machine is also tested by a musician (test equipment: their ears!) before shipping. Every one is supplied with 12 month warranty and ongoing service support.

======

REPLACEMENT TAPES: We recently worked out what formula Roland used for RT-1L loops and published the information. Fitting any tapes other than those from us (or Echo Fix) may invalidate the warranty on our machines. Limited stocks of our replacement loops are available now. We’ve written more 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.

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 from pots/switches can occur when not used for longer periods of time – this can be cleared with use.

Condition

The faceplate is in very good condition with only minor marks and scratches - the rack ears are missing some paint. The rest of the unit has small patches of oxidation to internal surfaces - not visible when racked and does not affect operation. Please see photos or get in touch if you require additional information.

Thank you @soundgasltd, shes a beaut...

If not a new language, then at least a very challenging, old dialect that will take me some time to assimilate. I've been waiting a long time for the challenge. Thank you @soundgasltd, she's a beaut..and noboy prepares and packs like you fine folks.
