Been on quite a tear lately, trying out stuff I've dreamed about for years. Which included, yesterday, picking up a tape echo unit. Never plugged into one, rarely have seen one upclose. This Roland is quite handsome, outside of some scratches on the front control plate, looks new. The trick will be to use it. Sure looks smaller in pictures. In person, it's not small, lots of confusing knobs. As a friend always said "you have to be smarter than the machine to use it." OK, challenges are good. This will be fun!
