Description:
The legendary Roland Space Echo RE-201 as used by everyone from Bob Marley to Radiohead! An absolute classic piece of gear. This is a vintage 1977 model in very good condition. Recently serviced, cleaned and lubricated. Everything in good working order and ready for use. These run fine at 120v on the original Japanese 100v transformers, but you can also run with a step down transformer to reduce stress on the transformer.
Tape Mechanism: Uses a free-running magnetic tape loop combined with one recording head and three playback heads
Operating Modes: Features 12 total selector positions: 11 combinations of tape heads (ranging from short slapback to cascading multi-head echoes) plus 1 mode dedicated solely to spring reverb
Spring Reverb: Includes a built-in physical spring reverb tank that can be blended with the delay or used by itself
Tone Shaping & Preamp: Includes a two-band Baxandall EQ (Bass and Treble knobs) for the repeats and a signature 17V single-transistor solid-state preamp that imparts a warm, saturated analog coloration when overdriven.
Notable Users: Famous for shaping the sound of dub, reggae, post-punk, and rock artists like King Tubby, Lee "Scratch" Perry, The Clash, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, and Portishead
