FInally it was just a matter of good cleaning and lubricating... A bit ashamed to have asked before getting to the basics but i thought my local tech would have done it !

Anyway thanks for all your help !

Hi, Thanks for the link to Orbitelectronix, but being located in Europe (France) sending it over to them will be too expensive for me. I'll try to try to fix it myself first and if it doesn't work i'll take it to a tech somewhere in Europe. The only user manual i found doesn't go further than the on...

Thanks Easy Go, that's the kind of effect i'm looking for.

However i assume, as Scum points, that the Re-201 should be able to produce more echo than it does now (at least at full throttle)...

I'll also try feeding a loop through the mixer, i'm sure it's useful anyway

Thanks !

Thansk again

Roland RE 201 without enough echo

Hi, I'd like to have some help for the following trouble i experience with my RE 201 tape echo. I'm trying to get a special effect with this machine (it may have a name but i don't know it) : the moment where the signal becomes a kind of self fed feedback loop. You can hear this kind of effects in D...

I recently bought one that works so far (i only used it for a couple of hours) I guess you have to clean it and service it on a regular basis : what parts shall be cleaned ? What cleaning ...
