Re: roland tape echos??

Of the one I've used, the 501/555 would be my favorite.  Balanced or unbalanced I/O, fun sound on sound mode, the chorus is pretty nice, and the knobs are classy.  Has a cool Knight Rider VU display too.  smile

Re: roland tape echos??

If I had to choice I'd go with the Sre-555.

It sounds great and looks cool, same innards as the 501 for more money though.

The Re-201 has the reputation of sounding the best.

Nice thread here :

I recently got a Korg Stage Echo Se-500 and like it a lot, nice sound, quiet and solid construction.

found it together with an sennheiser headphone and a compressor/limiter all put together in the recyclebin at our local gargagebelt

Re: roland tape echos??

501/555 is awesome and the price of the 501 has come down to basically the same as 201. And IMHO it is way better.

Re: roland tape echos??

I can only speak for the 201 I've had for awhile.  Still love it to pieces!  Need to replace my tape though...

Re: roland tape echos??

can you guys recommend a good tape echo unit that isn't as pricey as the space echo's?

Re: roland tape echos??

Some of the wem/watkins Copycats can be found cheap, and some of the klemt echolette models sound quite nice. The Binsons are

looking about, apparently there's also an RE-100... I've never ever seen a 100 or a 200 anywhere.

that said, being that the RE-100 and RE-200 were replaced by the 101 and 201 for reliability reasons, if you do ever see them for sale, they're probably not the ones to go for.
