Roland RE 101 Space Echo
The Roland RE-101 Space Echo is an classic vintage audio analog delay effects unit (1974).
A tape echo device records incoming audio to a loop of magnetic tape, then replays the audio over a series of several playback heads before it is erased again by new incoming audio. Roland’s Space Echos are coveted to this day because of their slightly unpredictable but attractive sound.
