This kit revived my 201 back to its full glory and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Installing the kit is quick and easy, it’s cleaning the years of grime which takes all the time.
Very happy customer of Echo Fix.
They have a full range of parts that I need for my Echoplex-4.
I am a very happy customer and will continue to use them.
Okay I don't have presets or tap tempo or many modern features but still nothing sounds as good or imersive as a real tape echo.
I've got mine back to like new and I lost 2 & a half hours time just during the testing. And I knew it was testing fine with in the first 5 minutes. So Good.
Thanks to Echo Fix for their Unrelenting search & refinement of better spare parts, chase for those great older tones with modern reliability and continued service and advice. Thanks Nick & Shane & all the team.
Bloody Ripper Echo Fix!
I’ve ordered probably 7 tapes over the years.
Tapes always seem to work perfectly
This thing is so nice to play with—tactile, looks nice, sounds beautiful, and so many creative ways it can be used, with good content on YouTube with ideas on how to do so.
There is something special about having a real moving thing in front of you to create sound. I can’t say I can tell the difference between this and a digital tape echo in terms of sound, but for me that’s not the point. The tactility of it, and interacting with a thing in real life is the point. It’s like playing a guitar vs a digital imitation of a guitar that you can program—they’re just not the same feeling.
So far it’s been completely reliable and easy to set up and use as well.
I recently scored an RE-301 online and realized it wasn't functioning as well as it had been made out to. So I purchased this kit along with some extra tape loops, and set to work! This was my very first time opening a Roland echo chamber, and I took some extra time to clean and polish the unit with my own supplies. This kit ended up being really simple to install, and I found that I really enjoyed giving my Chorus Echo some proper care! The hardest part of the whole installation process was actually trying to remove the paper back from the green felt without accidentally removing the adhesive, but even then I only messed that up once! 😅 Thank you for including plenty of extra felts! Now the rollers all spin without issue, the tape bay is clean as the day it was born, and the echoes sound wonderfully smooth and lush, with the excess wow, flutter, and sticking tape issues totally resolved. I would definitely continue business with EchoFix, the servicing process ended up being so enjoyable that I may become a small local official Space Echo tech myself someday, who knows...
Service kit exceeded my expectations. Tape echo sounds and works like new. Thank you.
Online videos don’t do this justice. They help don’t get me wrong, but you have to be in the room to really appreciate that aliveness. I ordered mine with the Erase Head Mod, which I absolutely suggest adding for anyone interested in this unit. The plethora of outputs, the CV controllable features, the sound (ahhh), the feedback, the preamp tone when pushed, analog chorus, real spring reverb all working together. Fantastic build quality. Fast shipping and great customer service. Thank you EchoFix.
Fantastic service
Works perfectly. Leads were more than long enough to solder to the board.
This kit brought my space echo back to life. Installation was very easy.
Great replacement parts! Easy to follow.
Only recommendation would
Be better labeling on the felt but you should be able to figure it out.
Thumb screws identical to the original. We happy. Thank you.
Echofix is straight up the industry standard for tape echos and replacement parts at this point. Every dollar is worth it. This Capistan was plug and play into my modded 201 and worked after 15-20 mins of assembly, bringing one of my old rigs back to life.
Great quality, sound. Thanks to Echofix for creating great equipment. :)
The nut is exactly the same as the orignal ones, nicely packaged, as expected form this great shop. Thank you!
These are the best tapes you can get, the service the shop provides in products and communication is excellent. Thank you
I have the EF-X2 since 2 years now.
It never lost attraction even after 2 years.
Everything sounds better in it either with echo off using the preamp color, the reverb and/or the chorus.
It's bringing mood ideas and texture on every kind of playing and recording.
Thank you Echo Fix
Just got mine and am blown away. Well done! Sounds so natural and melts with your tone. Nothing artificial here.
Lovely sounding reverb. Build quality is phenomenal. Love the vintage tones!
This kit is awesome. Brought new life back to my space echo!
5 Star business
I love my Fulltone Tape Tube Echo and am so grateful that Echo Fix now provides quality spares to keep it running well!
Unbelievable delivery speed to England. Thank you so much.
