At last a Roland/Boss echo box that could possibly get close to the sound of the early stuff. :)

The heads appear equally spaced and are fractions of total delay time. No amplitude adjustment of individual heads, so not really a Meazzi style echo for Shads early stuff.

Hank Marvin obviously used the Roland echo for many years though , so great for the later tunes and with some jiggling might get reasonable results for live sets on the older tunes.

Either way , it's a great echo unit overall, nice one Boss !
