The
Roland RE-501 was the last tape effect that Roland produced as the
introduction of digital delay and reverb was quickly replacing the older
style tape effects. It included a newer orange and black livery that
fit in with the new range of Roland Rack products, such as the Roland
SVC-350 vocoder. Roland also released a rackmount version of the RE-501
known as the SRE-555. The RE-501 was built using Roland's free running
tape system that minimized wow and flutter and extended the life of the
tape for more than 300 hours of use. It included dual outputs for a
three dimensional sound. The outputs included unbalanced, and for the
first time, balanced XLR outputs putting it into the professional range
of studio effects.
New to the 501 and 555 was the chorus effect. They also had noise
reduction systems which gave a much cleaner sound than earlier models
