Seller says it's a Roland product, but I don't see it:

edit: that does look like the Roland logo... if it's legit, could this be a pre-Boss product of some sort?

I was initially thinking knock-off from another Asian company, recalling those Indian Boss look-alikes we ran into a while back.

But with the powder-coated case, stomp switches and LEDs, this one's definitely got the CE-1 thing going.

Roland made heaps of pedals in the days before Boss.

That thing has 70s Roland written all over it - literally. The power switch, LEDs and fooswitches are pretty much identical to the CE-1 or PhaseV/Jet Phaser type casing. Looks like it's some kind of leslie simulator for a keyboard or something. Must be rare because there's nothing on the net about it at all.

Revo = an abridgment of revolve, as in revolving speaker/baffle?

Hmm - looks like it's just the foot controller. I'd wager a guess that the speaker cab is essential to the effect

Oops!



...but I went there directly, and saw it -- perhaps someone should inform the seller that they're essentially offering worthless junk here.

That was some outstanding detective work... thank you for setting me straight on this!

Ya know, now that I actually think about it, I should have noted the words "control box" right on the thing. Doh!
