All our machines come with our guarantee of your sonic satisfaction.

Roland Space and Chorus Echoes are amazing machines - and this 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. It 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.

This one sounds great and works superbly. Has just had a full service with our tape echo specialist with various new parts as required; including new tape. Set up so it will go into self-oscillation. Ready to give reliable service.

Heads in excellent condition.

The cosmetic condition is very good overall. The top of the case has scuffs and some oxidation and signs of age, but the face is clean and this unit will present very well when racked.

For sales in UK/EU the price will include VAT. VAT-free sales are possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside the UK) with a valid VAT Number - please get in touch if you wish to buy this way.

• 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.

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.
