Roland’s Game-changing Delay Meets Modern Production
Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Bob Marley, and other icons have utilized Roland’s RE-201 Space Echo — its distinct sound character has made it one of the most popular reverb/delay effects. Boiling the RE-201 down to its finest parts, Roland has faithfully re-created the unit and all its nuances into an approachable plug-in package. It’s armed with every function, from Depth and Rate controls to six different tape-speed LFO shapes for serious dynamic creativity. However, the RE-201 doesn’t stop at its traditional delay roots; onboard are modern updates, including Condition controls, a resizable interface, and Tempo Sync for seamless inclusion into your next creation. An incredibly creative utility for modern producers and vintage aficionados alike, the RE-201 Space Echo guarantees years of time-tested, tape-saturated echo and delay effects if you add it to your plug-in arsenal.

Authentic controls deliver real-deal sounds
As Sweetwater producers have come to expect, the RE-201 Space Echo plug-in sounds great on just about any track: vocals, percussion, guitar, synths, and more. The plug-in’s authentically designed parameters make it a cinch to dial in the right effect, spanning sounds from low-level reverb bounces to high-frequency, bouncing tape delays. Throw in the rich, emotive tone of the integrated preamp, and you’ll be coasting a swath of legendary tones in no time flat. If you’re in a rush or need inspiration, the unit’s more than 50 presets will ensure you have a professional-grade mix immediately.
Every nuance on tap
As with any other instrument, every RE-201 unit varies slightly in sound, given its history in the studio and on the road. The Roland RE-201 Space Echo plug-in completely makes up for this difference, bringing forth Wow and Flutter, Motor Torque, and Condition controls to dial in the right amount of nuance into any given track. Likewise, modern mixing controls have been added to take the power of this classic model’s character to contemporary heights. No longer is the RE-201 a vintage-only tool — it’s packed with more than enough new-age firepower for just about any project.
