How to Change the Tape Loop on a Roland Space Echo RE-201
A video we made showing you how to change the tape loop on a Roland Space Echo RE-201.
You’ll need a new loop: we only recommend our own replacement loops or those from Echo Fix; please do not fit any other brand in our machines (it will invalidate the warranty). You can read more about our investigations into tape for Roland echoes.
Also needed:
- isopropyl alcohol
- cotton buds
- clean hands!
