Does anybody know how the chorus on the Roland Space echo works? I think it's only on the 301 model. Or is it really a mis-named function.
I've never owned one, but I heard someone say that it has a CE-1 circuit in it.
I have owned the Space Echo RE-201, which has multiple tape heads and a short spring reverb. Not that that has anything to do with your question. But I also owned a Roland JC-120, which is a solid-state 2x12 combo amp with stereo chorus that utilizes the CE-1 circuitry. So it wouldn't surprise me to know that the 301 tape echo is basically a 201 with a CE-1 built in for chorusing.
Couldn't it just be a short delay setting, with a modulated delay time?
It's basically a CE-1 circuit. I have a 501, which is the second generation from the 301. It's a delicious analog chorus circuit in parallel to the tape echo. It's not tape based.
It's one of the best choruses I've ever used.

Well that's pretty sneaky isn't it :mrgreen: , a tape machine but they sneak in completely unrelated spring reverb and stompbox chorus. I'm thinking of making one then. Preamp, tape-echo, chorus, and reverb all in one box.
I hope you do. 'Twill be a beautiful thing.
