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)

As can be heard on the track "Over the Border", Paul used a Roland G-808 Guitar, controlling a GR-300 synthesizer, for that distinctive saw wave, layered with hexaphonic distortion.

Had a bit of trouble tracking this guitar down... but I’m nothing if not relentless! Live ‘82/‘83 appearance on VH1 showcasing the iconic “I RAN” His is red (as seen in the video)but it’s the same make & model.
