Effect unit: Roland RE-201 Space Echo
Review by: Damien Miller

Summary: Noisy but great.

Years Made: ???
Inputs: 
	Footswitch (switches echo in/out)
	2 Mic level inputs (phono) w/ attenuation knob
	1 Instrument (line level) in (phono) 
		w/ attenuation knob and delay in/out sw.
	1 PA in (line level, phono)
    The Mic and Instrument ins mix the original signal with the output, the 
    PA in doesn't and thus would be better suited to a mixing desk 
    send/return situation.

MIDI: no
Other external control: Footswitch (switches effect in/out)
Patch storage: no
Available effect(s):
	Tape delay
	Spring reverb
	High and low shelving EQ
Interface:
	Rotary delay time select switch, also selects whether reverb is on
	Delay time adjust knob
	Delay feedback knob (will go into 'self-oscillation')
	Delay level knob
	Reverb Level knob
	High shelving EQ knob
	Low Shelving EQ knob
	Mic 1 input attenuator knob
	Mic 2 input attenuator knob
	Instrument input attenuator knob
	Instrument input fx in/out switch
	VU meter w/ overload light
Routing: 
Tabletop/rack: Tabletop
Known problems: Tapes can break, spring reverb easily damaged by shock.
Accessories: Footswitch.
Related gear: RE-150, RE-301, RE-501(??), SRE-555
Price range: Australia: $150-$350

Availability: Fairly Common
Comments:
    Strengths: Great sound, not at all like a digital delay.
    Weaknesses: Noisy as hell.
    Overall: Don't buy as your first fx unit, but it is a great 
	complement to digital fx.
