Roland RE-301 Head Timings

[timryland]

Can anybody confirm what the head timings are for the RE-301. This is what I think it is:-

Head 1. 40ms to 130ms
Head 2. 80ms to 260ms
Head 3. 210ms to 720ms

I assume the Repeat Rate adjusts the timing between the min. and max. timings, and the Intensity controls the number of repeats (feedback).

I am trying to set up some echoes using the Multi-Tap in ToneStack on my iPad.

Thanks,
Tim.

Hi Tim,

You will find the timings of the Roland and many others on this link:

Thanks, Emiel.

Looks like I wasn’t too far out with my timings, but it good to have the others as well.

Tim.

Although this doesn't offer any head timings, you seem to have that sorted, However I remember talking to Hank when he was using the Roland RE-301 tape echoes and he told me he loved position 5 on the repeats and set to a slow speed for the roll over echo effect. He said he changed tape speeds for some numbers but mostly left on 5 at a moderate speed. Its still my favourite echo machine, but its getting heavy for me these days so it stays at home and I use a Q20.
