O my gawd , your licks , your tone , your feel, sir you are a guitar hero and appreciate these videos you do for us. And that rack is the most rackiest sounding ear candy that brings me right back to the 80’s . Wow this sounds great 👍
This is like watching your best friend play with the coolest toy in the world that you wanted but didnt get on Xmas morning! Lol One thing I which these units did have was a reverse echo where you plush the string and it softly echoes into a solid note, so you get that simmering or rising sound I get on my keyboards.
I have the GP-16, what would you say is the difference between the two be cause I have a space echo seting. Also, what is the way you are roughing the unit?
I have this running to its own channels in parallel via an aux send out of my interface. So it is not directly in the guitar signal chain. The GP16 can do some cool stuff and is meant more to be an all-in-one guitar rig, interfacing with an amp/preamp and it’s effects loop
@@cliftonwright7081 one more question, when I play my rig it sounds sooo smooth like butter sizzling in a hot frying pan, I love it!!! But when I record my rig, it sounds rougher like it don't have that smooth sizzle. I can hear that not all the sound is being conveyed, so im assuming that would be a bit rate limitation. Im recording into a Korg D3200 at 64 bit rate. Is my bit rate too low and if so, how do I get more bit rate. I belive 64br is the top out for this old gem. Im also only having the problem on my guitar rig; bass, piano, keys and synthesis all turn out sounding solid and full. Like all the bits are there.
It's funny I'm actually robbing the power transformer out of a GP-16 right now (117V US) to throw in an RE-3 so it works here without issue. I'm not 100% but I'm almost certain that the RE-3 was only sold in Japan. Never seen one from the US or Europe and never even saw a service manual for it when I worked for Roland.
Sounds great. Can't remember if I've ever seen the rack version before. Probably have. Had an original SE years ago . . . Think it was the RE-301 maybe? FYI - changing the tape in that thing is a challenge to say the least. One reason I stuck with my Echoplex.
@cliftonwright7081 Oh yeah I've heard if them. Bought some EP parts from down under . . . Wonder if it's the same company hmmmm . . . Will have to research it
Haha yeah, I think I understand who their target market was but it can’t have done that well. Just 5 settings: mono delay, panning delay, multi-tap (no verb option) and then two verbs. The modulation is definitely the best part

That’s way more kind than I deserve, thank you, amigo! I’m just glad I got some time to play with my toys this week!
A great vid! Thanks for stepping through the functions.
Killer man! Thank you algorithm for sending me this

Yeah this should have been a half rack for how little it does haha
Totally awesome review as usual Clifton thank you so very much🙏✌️❤️🎶🎼🎵
Thank you brother Rick! Hope you are well
I came for the gear review, but as usual stayed for the killer playing. When are you coming on your tour to Seattle man? 😂
@@williamtell1477 thanks man, I was there last year!
@@cliftonwright7081 cool, seriously would love to catch a show if you have a mailing list or something.

Maaaan, I would love to get one of those nice new tape echos coming out of Australia! That with an Ebo spring verb is the dream

What a weird unit. The modulation sounds great but a rack space just for one type of digital delay has me scratching my head.
