Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo

In this photo of Kevin's makeshift studio from the InnerSpeaker recording sessions, a Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo can be seen on the desk.

added a nw gear in here

He has it on his shelf.

In the photo "Studio A.." the RE-501 Chorus Echo is shown on top of the middle rackmount in Justin Vernon's (Bon Iver) studio April Base

On top of Juno 60

In this photo taken from an [xlr8r article](http://www.xlr8r.com/gear/2013/06/in-the-studio-jon-hopkins/), you can see John Hopkin's Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo.

A FOH stage hand sent out a couple pictures of Chris Stapleton's live rig on May 27, 2016 in Simpsonville, SC at the Charter Spectrum Amphitheatre. The stage setup clearly matches the setup seen in various videos around the web from early-2016 shows. The Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo can be seen clearly on top of Chris' rack setup.

Again you can see the thru the whole video but you can clearly see it at 1:28 in the attached video.

Used for the lead vocals on "Angel Dance", as stated by tracking and mixing engineer in this Mike Poole in this December 2010 *Sound on Sound* article. > **Vocals:** Urei 1178, API 550, LT Sound CLX, Roland SRV2000 & RE501, AMS RMX16, TC Electronic D•Two. > > "I had the Urei 1178 compressor and the API 550 EQ on Robert's vocal, along with a parallel channel that was even more compressed. So any time he hit a low note that sounded a little muddy and needed some more clarity, I pushed up the parallel channel. There's also an effects send channel with the LT Sound CLX on it, which is a Dbx VCA compressor with a good de?esser in it, and that was used as the send to any effects devices. As a side note, all the little slices you see on the screenshot were not performance edits, but mostly me trying to get the sibilance right. I often take out little clicks and pops and also 'esses' or 'effs' out manually. A de?esser will hit everything in a technical?sounding way, and sometimes you may want to retain the emotive way a certain 'ess' or 'eff' is expressed, but only precisely change the gain, just to correct recording artifacts. 'Angel Dance' is one of the few tracks on which Robert's scratch [tracking] vocal didn't make up the largest component of the final vocal track. On this song, he re?sang the vocals later, and I think he did two passes and we used mostly one, with a few lines from the other pass thrown in. For reverb on his vocals, I used the SRV2000 long reverb and a little bit of RMX16; for delay, either the D•Two or an RE501. I used very little reverb on the tracks on the album in general, apart from on Robert's vocals and the backing vocals. The other ambience you hear may have been a long delay from the 501 or PCM42 or any of the room mics.”

It is stated in this article that He used a Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo

Roland RE-501 is included in the list of outboard FX used on the Recoil album *subHuman*.

At the 0:08 mark, you can see a Chorus Echo with a Mackie mixer on top.

On top of the rack on the right of the desk, there are two Chorus Echos.

In his studio, 2018

Acquired in this lot of Ronson's stuff.

"Removed while two guys recovered from alcoholic over enthusiasm. Thank you so much guys, that was really helpful :-/ Space echo RE-501, £900 plus £20 shipping. From my eBay listing- "Good condition. Japanese/US power (needs transformer). This is ex Verve circa Forth. Since, with my early work with the Verve, and our T-shirts, featuring my old 201, I'm one of the folks who are responsible for the escalation of the prices of these machines, and also since I've had not one but two Space Echoes stolen, I'm unfortunately joining the trend of Space Echo exploitation."

Used on Jones' vocals for *The Fall*, as stated by producer Jacquire King in this February 1, 2010 *Electronic Musician* interview with Jones, King and assistant engineer Brad Bivens. > She was into adding delay on her voice, trying not to just make it pretty with reverb. The delays were both analog and plug-in. I use Audio Ease Altiverb, SoundToys EchoBoy delay, some of the UA plug-ins—they have a nice EMT 140 emulation—and the Cooper Time Cube Delay. We used The Magic Shop’s Marshall Tape Eliminator AR-300, a tape slap simulator. And Norah had an old Ibanez analog delay. We used a Roland Chorus Echo and EMT 140 plate reverbs, too. Sometimes I will use an Eventide H3000 for harmonic delay effects, and as I get them going I will print them in Pro Tools with the transfer from analog. An RE-501 can be seen in the far right of [this photo of King's LBT studio](https://www.prosoundnetwork.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Ch_2000%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_2000/MTU2NTkxNDMzNzU3ODkzOTMy/jacquireking_studio_lbt4.jpg) from [this June 28, 2018 *Mix Online* interview](https://www.mixonline.com/news/jacquire-king-builds-studio).

"Lohner's home studio is centered around a Pro Tools Mix system running on a Mac G4/400MHz. Some of his outboard selections include an Avalon Vt-737sp preamp, an Avalon U5 preamp, a Tech 21 SansAmp, a Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo and a Clavia Nord Lead synth."

As seen in many images as Pauls primary delay unit. "Also, notice the Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo. This was a tape-echo machine introduced by Roland in the early 80s; sadly, it was also their last electro-mechanical effects processor. Again, this unit came packed with; you’ve guessed it, chorus effect! If you think about that, it kind of seems very logical right know, because his guitar sound it’s filled with modulation that seems to primarily come from chorus. Also, it’s worth mentioning that the Roland RE-501 has 5 different delay modes. He’s probably using settings 4-6 (which allowed the user to have two different delay times at once) in order to create the dotted eighth repetitions in some songs." - Thatdelaypedal.com (MM)

"I still use tape echoes now; I've got a Roland Chorus Echo (RE501) in The Garden studio which I wouldn't part with for anything because there's always a place for it on a track."

Although Tom owns an SBX80, swears by an RE501 Chorus Echo and is recording much of his current song with a Juno 106, it's the Drumatix and TB303 Bassline which he finds indispensable.
