Greetings gang!
I have an old Roland Space Echo RE-201. Now I know these things have a reputation for being noisy, but this one seems to be beyond the acceptable threshold in terms of hiss. With nothing plugged into the inputs and all input volumes down it still creates a wall of white noise that is...well...impressive to say the least. Additionally, there seems to be an impedance issue in that a guitar volume control behaves quite differently when run through this unit than it does plugged straight into the amp. Sort of like the taper of the volume pot changes. I dunno, maybe this is standard behavior for this unit but I somehow don't think so. I have the service manual for these, but nothing is jumping out at me as faulty so far. Anybody have any experience with these?
Thanks!
