i once bought one of these from a guy in blackpool.didnt keep it long ,i wasvery disapointed with the sound, at the time, which was late eighties i had been using a boss dd2 stomp box and the 501 didnt sound a lot different to the pedal.you may think different but give it a good try before you buy !

I won't be trying it......the price is enough to keep me away. There are a few youtube videos, which look interesting but there not linked to any guitar sounds, I don't think.

crikey hell,they are optimistic at cash converters,i hadnt looked at the price. two new hcse, and a bit left for a good drink, or this thing ?the manager must think all old echos are gold dust . Price is actually pretty good for this type of unit in the UK…..201,301 & 501 go for quite a bit more usually if the condition is good . Not saying that they are worth the money but they are well respected units. Rack mount 555s are even dearer…. Chap who couldn’t tell much difference from his Boss delay has a good point….in my gigging days I had them all ….and I have to admit that if you get on stage in a club with Strat and a DD3 most audiences think you’re great…assuming you can play of course… All the nuances of the Meazzi / Binson brigade are wasted really…. Just us saddies left….😟🤪😊 Cheers, Paul |

I agree wholeheartedly with Paul Of course the whole thing has gone pear shaped since Covid but back in 'the day' playing to the 'blue rinse brigade' (even they are entitled to enjoy themselves)-- nobody heard nor knew the difference!--Add a drop of drink into the equation and you might as well have been battering a bin lid----you'll never please all of the people all of the time --heck some of us can't please some of the people some of the time!! What to do  ---Please yourself--if a certain bit of gear sounds better to you or makes you feel better just to 'have it' whats the problem?  |
