Roland DC-30 Analog Chorus-Echo (Used)

The Roland DC-30 Analog Chorus-Echo is a vintage delay and modulation processor that combines warm analog bucket-brigade delay with rich stereo chorus. Originally released in the late 1970s, the DC-30 delivers the lush, organic sound characteristic of Roland’s early analog effects. Its distinctive tone, smooth modulation, and tape-style delay behavior have made it a sought-after piece for guitarists, keyboard players, and studio engineers.

This used unit is in excellent working condition and has been fully tested. It shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with its age but operates flawlessly across all parameters. A great example of one of Roland’s most musical analog echo and chorus units.
