As I remember it the Revo 30 was an early attempt (mid 70's) at a solid state Lesley simulator. Designed for the home it consisted of a small control box (drum machine sized like a CR78) and two speakers all finished in a mock teak look and looked like an early hi-fi. 30 Watts RMS with two speeds. Remember it as alright at the time, Roland have always been pretty good at chorus like things, as for value - cheap as you can get it. I don't think it is about to become sought after like a Dimension D for example...

All the best,
