Roland SRE-555 Chorus Echo

In superb working order - serviced and guaranteed.

Heads in excellent condition. 100v machine - see below for more voltage info.

Roland Space and Chorus Echoes are amazing machines - and the RE-501/SRE-555 is their ultimate development in tape echoes; quieter than the others, but with the multi-head echo combinations, spring reverb, superb Roland chorus and Sound On Sound. The 555 is a Chorus Echo RE-501 in a rack case - we don't see them very often and they are always quick to be snapped up.

We're tape and disc echo specialists with many years' experience working with and restoring these machines. Our BBC-trained engineer brings our tape delays up to (or better than) factory spec and our testing ensures machines that have superb reliability and - most important - that they sound incredible. Guaranteed to give reliable service and sound superb.

CONDITION:

Used cosmetic condition with the face showing signs of age and use, including the controls wearing off in places. The paint had worn off around the outside edges of the case which has been touched up with black paint. Internal surfaces are clean with minor signs of age. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.

VOLTAGE:

• It is a 100v Japanese model and will run fine 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.

SERVICED & GUARANTEED:

One of the reasons our tape echoes are in such demand is due to the full service and set up to Roland factory spec that we do as standard. Our echo specialist has more than 20 years experience working on these machines, including touring with top artists. Your Roland will come to you in top operating condition following a full treatment with various new parts as required, including new tape. After that it will have been further tested by us, sent back to the engineer for a tweak if necessary and soak-tested over a period of days. Superb sound and reliability come as standard, and that's another reason our machines move so quickly: unlike many vintage tape echoes out there, ours are guaranteed.

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.

We can also supply replacement instructions for all Roland echoes and tried and tested replacement Roland tape loops.
