Well this is a weird one. Something I had never heard off and at a price I couldn't refuse. So while it's winging its way to my overstuffed pedal room has anyone seen/heard/know anything about them?
Essentially seems to be the last iteration of a Space Echo in digital rack form (prior to the RE-20 pedal of course).

Never heard of it. Is it from the '80s? And can it already faithfully emulate the sound of the iconic tape echo sound and its spring reverb? I'm looking forward to your review.

Yes it caught me by surprise too Pepe!
I think it was a 1988 issue bit of kit. Apparently it has a modulation control to simulate the flutter and built in reverb to mirror a RE-201 etc. On the other hand it is supposedly limited in delay time (300ms!).
Looking forward to it!
I did see the standalone RV-1 Reverb a while back too, but passed up on it, I may check that one to see if it is still residing on the back shelves of the used shop (where I placed it a bit out of sight!
)
