Roland Chorus Echo RE-501 (Used)

The Roland Chorus Echo RE-501 is a legendary analog tape echo and chorus unit, combining classic tape delay warmth with lush modulation and reverb. Designed as one of the final and most refined models in Roland’s tape echo series, the RE-501 offers enhanced stability, low noise performance, and excellent sonic character.

This used unit is in good condition and has been carefully tested to ensure proper functionality. It shows light cosmetic wear consistent with normal use and age, but operates smoothly across all sections. The tape mechanism runs well, and all delay, chorus, and reverb functions perform as expected.
