It was a perfect fix for my 52 year RE-200! It’s back up and running!!!!
This product works great and sounds good. I got this for my RE 201 hoping it would be an upgrade sound. Maybe its slightly better...but not much. If your spring reverb works i would not recommend getting this as an "upgrade". Also, I had to screw new holes into the cabinette which I wish wasn't necessary.
kit works great!my re 501 sounds like new. Just wish the adhesive on the felt was easier to peel. Ended up using a needle to poke a small hole in the middle of the tape and then delicately peeling away the covering with tweezers. tbh the kit should probably come with a set of tweezers as its next to impossible to align anything without a pair.
My Roland RE-501 is working as new. Highly recommend the Echofix motor and replacemnt kit.
It's the best
Changed all the Cap's in my RE-301 after 40 years, now I have peace of mind!
Perfect replacements for my vintage RE-201! High quality and has restored my unit to great shape— never thought missing the feet would make such a difference until I needed to stack my gear.

Just serviced 5 space echoes for Brian Setzer. Everything fits perfectly, and the tape is really easy to load. Quick ship too! Thanks!
Easy install and works flawlessly. I am so glad this became available and I was able to get this. It takes my amazing EF-X2 mkii to another level. Thank you for help with the sale as well. Appreciate it!!
Another amazing experience with the team at Echo Fix!!!!
It's a DIY kit, but the instructions from the Echofix team were clear and comprehensive. I took my time and in about 30 mins I was up and running again. Shane was very helpful in getting me the right match of Kit for my configuration. The end result is significant increase in the capability of my EF-X3R. Highly recommended.
It’s wonderful. It’s working like a charm. Thank you.
I would love to review it but I haven't received it yet. Somehow it got lost in the mail. I am going to have to reorder everything.
Great to be able to get these parts so quickly!
perfect replacement part!
Tension arms were ok, had to bend to get the right clarity of repeats.
Pinch roller not a suitable replacement.
Much too loose, not enough pressure on the capstan to allow for clean, consistent signal.
Alles komplett
I have not installed it yet, but the package arrived without any problems. It was just very expensive, including import taxes.
The greatest echo device ever created?
I have always wanted a tape delay. Particularly a multi head unit. But finding and maintaining a reliable RE unit just seemed too tedious, so I was a BBD guy. Perhaps psychological, but digital delay and modulation just doesn’t feel right, nor does digital reverb. I’ve always avoided a/d and d/a conversion between my guitar and speaker cab. Luckily, there are some fantastic BBD delays and modulations to choose from, and nothing beats a well implemented spring reverb.
So when I saw the EF-X3 added BBD chorus, there was no contemplation. I NEEDED this unit.
And not only did it meet my expectations, it blew them away! Construction is top notch. The tape mechanism is a work of art. The balanced I/O and multiple outs make this a dream creative tool in the studio…and the delay sound quality…from pristine duplication at full speed to musical degradation at slowest speeds, and repeats that fade to a diffuse, reflective reverb. Plus the EQ option to keep the repeats from muddling up the direct sound when subtlety is desired. Everything about the EF-X3 tape effect is magical. And don’t forget the chorus…the BBD has plenty of fidelity to yield a shimmering chorus and a vibrato that doesn’t sacrifice high end. And the spring reverb is solid. Tuned well for having return mix only and short spring tank.
I feel like a new path of my musical journey has been laid before me with the acquisition of the EF-X3. I just want to plug in and play!
