I would like one... but the idea of having to really look after it and clean it means that there are other things I want to get first for my more permanent rig...

i'm actually really happy that this hasn't happened to vintage reverb units yet. fingers crossed...

:yay:

This thread reminded me that I need to get a new tape for my Roland 301. I picked one up off craigslist recently, got it all cleaned up, but the tape is done for. Anyone know a good place to get tapes?

I've been looking at the Copicats for a while.
One thing to remember is you'll need to convert the power source somehow. I don't know if a regular power adapter would work or cause noise or what.

i'm pretty sure most of the copicats, if not all of them, have an input voltage selector on them going between 240, 220 and 110V. only thing you'll need to do is change the plug.

The pawn shop I usually go to has 2 fender reverbs for like $300 a piece right now :joy: . I think one was under $300, and the other was slightly over.
