Authentic Space Echo Tape Delay Effects

The world-famous RE-201 Space Echo effect makes its return in a compact pedal with the BOSS RE-2 Space Echo! Offering authentic multi-head tape echo effects with expanded delay times, the beloved spring reverb sound, and a ton of control over effects parameters, the RE-2 Space Echo sounds amazing with guitars and keyboards, as well as drum machines. An external footswitch/expression pedal input gives you creative hands-free control options, and the true stereo signal path is perfect for multi-amp rigs and studio mixing applications. From rockabilly slapback to drenched dub echoes, the BOSS RE-2 Space Echo delivers the iconic Space Echo sound in a pedalboard-friendly format.

Sweeten your tone on the way in

The original Space Echo effects processor offered more than sweet spring reverb and vibrant tape echo — its preamp stage is the hidden secret to countless iconic guitar recordings. The BOSS RE-2 Space Echo models the harmonic character of the original preamp precisely, ready to add some detail and presence to your source signal. Turn on the preamp modeling for extra sonic sweetness on the way in, or leave your analog dry signal unprocessed to maintain your core guitar tone.

BOSS RE-2 Space Echo Features:

  • Authentic sound of the classic Roland RE-201 Space Echo in a compact pedal
  • Multi-head tape echo effects that offer expanded delay time over the original
  • Vintage spring reverb effect with stereo operation for expansive ambience
  • Introduce tape modulation via Wow and Flutter controls
  • Twist effect with footswitch control for hands-free creative manipulation
  • Leave your analog dry signal unprocessed or sweeten it with the sound of the original Space Echo preamp
  • True stereo signal path that's perfect for keyboards, multi-amp rigs, and studio applications
  • Tap tempo for hands-free tempo control

Reviews

5 Star But I Made Mistake
5 Star - But I Made Mistake. I clearly need a went to buy a reverb pedal, and ended worth The Space Echo. I did trying it tonight and it's pretty sick, but I never use it. Going to sell it's Sweetwater Used Gear tomorrow.

Taking it to the studio
We are going for some Radiohead sounds in the studio. Gonna use this, an MXR Poly Blue Octave and a Boss BF3. Excited.
Improving a classic
My Sweetwater rep Josh was super helpful in letting me know about updates from Boss leading up to this release and got it shipped out fast. If you've heard the RE-20 or RE-201, you know what to expect, and you won't be disappointed.

If not, this is a tape delay style effect with some reverb and a few simulated tape heads to really give you flexibility. It's not a wild experimental pedal, but it's one that you can use in any mode and get great sound out of. Don't forget to checkout the RE-201 preamp setting.

All that plus being wildly smaller than it's predecessors and it's hard to recommend this enough.
60's revisited, "no trips into the deep required"
Was that decade the best, I mean that is when music was written, with an imagination of how the future would turn out, either on earth or in space travel. Just at what's happening at the moment, in NASA and the middle east, on one hand there's HOPE on the other you have DESTRUCTION. Boss has brought back the hope part while the recent administration and others bring destruction. Boss products are in my opinion are tops on sound reproduction, just pair up the OC-5 with the RE-2 with the EV-30 and there is no limit to what can be created, all of Boss's pedals have their special purpose and reproduce them excellent. Sounds like I am their PR guy but no I'm just a non-working hobby guy who just made his first review on anything in my 63 years of guitar, I'm now 70 and still going. I just had to write this review, enjoy the journey!!

Awesome pedal for any of your delay and reverb needs
I had my eye on this pedal for quite sometime before picking it up. I'm a big Radiohead fan and love that sound, so when I learned that this pedal existed I was all over it. When I got it I was immediately inspired by some of the awesome features this pedal has even in a standard Boss shell. Would definitely recommend
