i jjust talked on the phone to a bloke who is selling an re150 for £225 and a re501 for £300 he says the sound on sound isn't as good on the 501 compared to a 301 he is not willing to budge on the price, but says the re150 "looks brand new" they are advertised as mint condition any advice much welcome | ||

Get the 150. the spring reverb isnt that great on the rolands anyway. unless youre going for that kind of sound.. If you want sound-on-sound for a more modest price look at a multivox tape echo. I have two  The korg stage echos also have s-o-s, i believe. | ||

would you consider selling one of the multivoxes? I am in Uk, where are you? | ||

sorry beardeddubster, I'm not going to sell either of mine just yet. i'm in the US also so shipping and crating would be expensive. | ||

For the price difference I would go for the 501. I own one and the unit sounds awesome. Also the 501s are the least noisey of the Roland Tape Delays. Here (in Australia), a good re501 can fetch up to $1400 (about 450 pounds). The 150 can get up to $600 (~ 200 pounds). Also most I've spoken to think that the sound on sound head of the 501 is in a more useful position than the 301, and allows for up to one second delay times. I have never used a 301 though. Cheers.
