Hello all, I haven’t found this information anywhere else on the internet, so I thought this would be a good place to share it.

below is a list of all the Tascam rack units through the 80’s (not including cassette decks like the 234 or large racked mixers like the mm1). I’ll add some notes from my experience with the units if I have anything worth adding.

TASCAM 1U RACK EQUIPMENT LATE 80’s EARLY 90’s (Japan)
-
Tascam GA-2020 Dual Sync Noise Gate
-
Tascam RS-2000 Digital Reverberation System
*buttons are prone to falling off, they can be replaced with the buttons from the Vesta Fire rvd-901 or the Vesta Fire dig-412b. both units are much easier to find than the RS-2000.*
*the Vesta Fire rvd-901 is virtually the same machine as the Tascam RS-2000, aside from the different inputs/outputs. Vesta Fire rvd-901 has 1/4in jacks and an effect send/receive. Tascam RS-2000 has both 1/4in and rca inputs and outputs with no effect send/receive.*
*The rvd-901 has an available manual, which can be applied to the RS-2000 for the most part. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1332210/Vesta-Fire-Rvd-901.html?page=4#manual *
-
Tascam DL-2000 Dual Compressor/Limiter
*I have not seen the internals for the Tascam DL-2000 or the Vesta Fire SL-200, but they look identical and have the exact same input/output and potentiometer layout.*
-
