Hello everyone, it seems pedals designed to imitate tape echos these days are all designed to imitate only those like the Roland RE-201 Space echo which did not have a built in chorusing effect like the RE-301 and the more refined RE-501 which is what I'm after, and the tape delay block in the Axe FX3 which does have modulation on three different heads which is very cool, but I don't believe this is the way the chorus on the RE-501 worked as the modulation in the block only puts modulation on the repeats themselves and not the original signal like I believe the RE-501 does (I may be wrong about that). Of course you could put a tape chorus block in front of the tape echo block but is that really going to give you the same sound since the RE-501 chorus within it's complex tape architecture may be configured differently? Also, I believe the RE-501 had a nob to set very unique echo patterns and a "sound on sound" effect using a fourth head, and two outputs. I would love to get a RE-501 to see if I could match it in Axe FX3 but even the cheapest ones cost more then a brand new Axe FX3 so wondering if anyone has one that could answer these questions. Any help on this would be appreciated of course.
