Roland Chorus Echo RE-301 with spring reverb and Sound on Sound circa 1977
This unit was electronically cleaned and additionally had pots sprayed out. The outside was cleaned as well.
While the tape functions well now, I would still recommend cleaning the heads and replacing the tape... However, it works and sounds fine now being fully tested with the reverb chorus and echo working great.
It’s no surprise that alongside its popularity with gigging musicians, First, before this model, the RE-201 became a recording studio staple. The unit gained such popularity due to its extremely musical sound. Echo delays melted into the background as they repeated. This helped these repeated sounds sit comfortably behind the original sound.

The Space Echo went through several iterations. 1977 saw the introduction of the RE-301Cjhorus Echo. It included not only the spring reverb of the RE-201, but a chorus circuit as well. In addition, it boasted the ability to disable the erase head to build up sound-on-sound style layers. This feature brought tape delay into the world of sound design.
