RE-20 Space Echo

Description

No velcro on bottom* Introduced in 1974 and produced for over 14 years, the Roland RE-201 Space Echo stands among the most legendary and sought-after effect units in music history. Known for its distinctive rhythmic echo sounds, warm character, and highly playable sonic quirks, this tape-based classic continues to inspire musicians, producers, and audio mixers over four decades on.With the RE-2, the authentic sound and behavior of the Space Echo is now available in the famous BOSS compact series for the first time. Backed by intensive R&D and modern innovations, the RE-2 delivers the coveted magic of the RE-201 in a pedalboard-friendly footprint realized in flawless detail by the company that designed the original.RE-201 Space Echo: Simply LegendaryWhen tape-based echoes were standard in the music world, the RE-201 was a leader in its class. Equipped with three evenly spaced tape heads and a spring reverb tank, it could produce everything from clean, single delays to dense, rhythmic echoes and ambient washes. The RE-201's appealing sound was influenced by many factors, from the warm compression of magnetic tape saturation to the evolving modulation produced by motor speed fluctuations, friction, and other elements. Last but not least, analog preamp circuitry was a key ingredient in the Space Echo's rich sonic recipe.A Masterpiece RebornIn developing the RE-2 and its big brother, the RE-202, BOSS engineers have fully reproduced all the complex, non-linear behaviors that contribute to the RE-201's immortal character. Boss carefully analyzed several vintage RE-201s, including a pristine original unit from the BOSS and Roland factory archive. Everything that influences the sound has been recreated with proprietary algorithms, including the tape path, record/playback mechanism, motor variations, preamp coloration, spring reverb character, and more.Journey to Deep SpaceThe RE-2 squeezes the complete sonic character of the RE-201 into the classic BOSS compact pedal format. The 11-position mode selector lets you dial in different virtual tape heads with or without spring reverb, and you can balance the echo/reverb blend with independent level knobs. Every behavior is accurately replicated, such as the gradual pitch change that occurs with Repeat Rate tweaks and the runaway feedback that happens when maxing the Intensity knob. And with the expressive Wow & Flutter control, you can conjure all the natural modulation characteristics that are essential to the Space Echo sound.Built for Modern PlayersThe RE-2 takes the Space Echo experience further with versatile features for today's music. Delay time has been doubled and tap tempo control is supported, and there's a cool Twist function for creating evocative special effects as you perform. For the dry sound, you can choose between the warm and fat RE-201 preamp tone or a clean signal with zero processing. Full stereo I/O is available, and it's possible to mute the dry signal for parallel effect setups and studio use. The RE-2 also supports expanded control via external footswitches or an expression pedal, including continuous pedal control of multiple panel functions at once.Features:- Authentic sound and behavior of the legendary Roland RE-201 Space Echo in a BOSS compact pedal- Classic multi-head tape echo sound with expanded delay time- Original three-head configuration and 11 different sound combinations- Vintage RE-201 spring reverb sound with modern stereo operation- Wow & Flutter control for introducing varying levels of natural tape modulation- Twist effect with footswitch control- Select between the unprocessed analog dry signal or the modeled sound of the original - Space Echo preamp- Tap tempo and carryover functions- True stereo input and output- Expandable control via external footswitches or an expression pedal- BOSS five-year warrantySpecs:- Modes11 modes- Nominal Input LevelINPUT A(MONO), INPUT B: -20 dBu- Maximum Input LevelINPUT A(MONO), INPUT B: +7 dBu- Input ImpedanceINPUT A(MONO), INPUT B: 1 M ohm- Nominal Output LevelOUTPUT A(MONO), OUTPUT B: -20 dBu- Maximum Output LevelOUTPUT A(MONO), OUTPUT B: +7 dBu- Output ImpedanceOUTPUT A(MONO), OUTPUT B: 1 k ohm- Recommended Load ImpedanceOUTPUT A(MONO), OUTPUT B: 10 k ohms or greater- BypassBuffered bypass-ControlsMODE knobREPEAT RATE knobWOW & FLUTTER knobINTENSITY knobTONE knobECHO knobREVERB knobCARRYOVER switchPedal switch-IndicatorCHECK indicator (Used for indication of check battery)- ConnectorsINPUT A(MONO) jack, INTPUT B jack, OUTPUT A(MONO) jack, OUTPUT B jack: 1/4-inch phone typeCTL/EXP jack: 1/4-inch TRS phone typeDC IN jack-Power SupplyAlkaline battery (9 V, 6LR61)AC adaptor (PSA series: sold separately)-Current Draw75 mA-Expected battery life under continuous use (These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use.)Alkaline: Approx. 4.5 hours-Dimensions73 (W) x 129 (D) x 59 (H) mm2-7/8 (W) x 5-1/8 (D) x 2-3/8 (H) inches-Weight (including battery)450 g1 lb- AccessoriesOwner's manualLeaflet ("USING THE UNIT SAFELY," "IMPORTANT NOTES," and "Information")Dry battery (9 V, 6LR61)- Options (sold separately)AC adaptor: PSA seriesFootswitch: FS-5UDual footswitch: FS-6, FS-7Expression pedal: FV-500H, FV-500L, EV-30, Roland EV-5* 0 dBu = 0.775 Vrms
