Up for sale is the legendary Roland SBF-325 Stereo Flanger, an iconic 1980s analog rack effects processor.
Famous for being an essential part of the "Holy Trinity" of the Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO) sound—alongside the Yamaha E-1010 and Roland SDD-320—this BBD-based masterpiece delivers incredibly thick, warm, and lush analog flanging and chorus. It pairs beautifully not only with legendary synths like the Prophet-5 but also adds magic to guitars, basses, vocals, and modern modular setups.
[Maintenance & Condition]
This unit has undergone extensive internal maintenance to ensure it survives another few decades:
- Full Recap: All degraded electrolytic capacitors have been replaced with brand-new, high-quality Nichicon audio-grade capacitors.
- Component Repair: Faulty internal ICs have been replaced with matching equivalent components.
- Circuit Board Care: Traces of past repair work on the PCB pattern have been neatly repaired and reinforced.
- Operation: Fully tested by the seller and confirmed to be in great working order. The audio path, knobs, and switches perform beautifully.
*Please note: The EXT CV IN port remains untested as I do not have the specific gear to verify it.
