Mac DeMarco’s Roland RE-201 Space Echo

This echo unit was seen at Mac’s home studio in the Pitchfork documentary filmed in 2014, and he occasionally used it live, although it seems very rarely (see Mac DeMarco performs at One Million Square Feet).

The Roland RE-210 is a tape echo unit that was produced until 1990. In case you’re unfamiliar with tape echos – they produce the echo effect by recording the signal to a tape, and playing it back with a delay.
