The Roland SH-01A packs the unmistakable character of the legendary SH-101 into a compact Boutique module, and this one comes Ready to Play right out of the box. Along with the original retail box, you’ll receive:

• Fresh factory-sealed batteries
• USB cable
• 6-foot MIDI cable
• Guitar Center 3-Year Purchase Protection effective May 14, 2026

The SH-01A recreates the classic SH-101 architecture with hands-on controls, a straightforward signal path, built-in sequencer, arpeggiator, and Roland ACB modeling. It’s equally at home creating punchy basslines, sharp leads, classic sequences, and vintage analog-style synth textures.

Condition: Mint cosmetic and functional condition. If it were any mintier you could brush your teeth with it.

This SH-01A itself is exceptionally clean with virtually no signs of use.

The original retail box is also in great condition overall, with a small amount of separation at one corner. This is cosmetic and does not affect its ability to store or protect the module.

Purchase Protection Note

Fun Fact 🎛️

The original SH-101 became a cult favorite not because it was complicated, but because it was wonderfully immediate. Its simple architecture and sequencer made it especially good for quickly creating basslines and repeating synth patterns—a big reason its sound became so closely associated with electronic, techno, house, and synth-driven music.

Ships fast, packed securely, and ready for its next studio, stage, or synthesizer adventure.
