The Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo was the final and most advanced iteration of Roland’s tape echo designs, introduced in 1980 and intended for studio/on stage use. It featured improved electronics for lower noise, along with balanced inputs and outputs. In addition to the multi-head tape echo and spring reverb found in earlier models, the RE-501 includes a classic Roland/Boss BBD-based chorus circuit.

The sound remains unmistakably analogue, but more late 70s early 80s than the 201/301 (think Gilmore/Pink Floyd The Wall and Andy Summers/Police) with distinctive modulation and crisp sound.

Condition: In excellent overall condition despite general signs of age and wear which is evident in some discolouration/blemishes on the faceplate and a few marks to the case around the edges and corners. Please see photos or get in touch if you require more information.

Voltage: 100v model. For UK/EU buyers it will be supplied with a high quality voltage transformer: we do not replace the original transformers in these as new ones tend to hum.

Tax: For sales in UK the price will include 20% VAT. Buyers elsewhere may incur VAT or other local taxes on import.

Shipping: Shipped securely, tracked, and insured worldwide.
