Ok, I searched both on TB and the inter-web, and couldn't find my answer, so here goes (I really need to become a supporting member so I can search for terms shorter than 3 characters :rolleyes:).

Does anybody know when the Link Removed will be released, and how much it will cost? I'm freaking stoked about it, and I really hope it's as good as I'm immagining it to be :p

I'm getting pretty tired of dealing with the preset scrolling on my DD-20, and I pretty much stick with the analog/tape setting anyway, so the new one may be just the ticket!

Thanks in advance!

I've heard people mention that the sound kind of "skips" a little when the splice in the tape passes over the heads, and that they can self-oscliate really well. I don't know how true it is, but I know I would have hours of fun with one of the old ones. Someday...:rolleyes:

Self-Oscillation is SO MUCH FUN with the Space Echo. i have actually done a thing where i make it self oscillate and i set the pitch of the oscillation to something that isnt too loud or too high and then i play over it. it is AWESOME!

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? 6!? DUDE! how much and what models? the RE-201 has earned the best reputation, and was used by the most artists. the RE-101 is the same, except there is no EQ or Reverb. i have to go now, but i will add more later.

no idea they have been sitting up there for ages but I'm going to try and work something out.

hmmm.....if they are RE-201s, GET EM! if they are RE-101s, im not sure about it, if they are any of the others, such as the RE-301 and RE-501, they have Chorus built in along with the functions of the RE-201. whatever you do, GET TAPES AS WELL! you only need to change the tapes when the current tape is worn out, but the tapes arent in production anymore, so GET WHAT YOU CAN!

no matter what, the Space Echo is AWESOME. all of the models use the same Echo part, so get any and all of them. RE-201s are going for $200-$300 on evilBay.
