A Classic Tape Delay Makes Its Triumphant Return!
The Roland RE-201 Space Echo stands tall as one of the most innovative and inspirational delay effects units in music history. Nearly 50 years later, the distinctive echoes and unique character of the RE-201 is revived in the BOSS RE-202 Space Echo digital delay pedal, meticulously crafted to deliver 1:1 performance yet packaged in a pedalboard-friendly enclosure. One look is all it takes to see that the RE-202 is no mere clone — Sweetwater's Space Echo diehards were happy to see all 11 original echo combinations on tap, with an additional 12th coming courtesy of a fourth tape head. Classic controls for bass, treble, repeat rate, and more will feel familiar to experienced users yet easy enough for first-time players to access that special Space Echo charm, with added Saturation and Wow and Flutter knobs to dial in extra color and modulation, respectively. Modern guitarists looking for extra flexibility and functionality in their digital delays have a lot to love in the RE-202, with four onboard presets for instant recall of your favorite sounds, Warp and Twist footswitch controls, and so much more.

The RE-202 takes the best of classic digital delay sounds and combines them with contemporary performing and recording features for a vintage-yet-modern feel. Four user presets in the form of "Memories" make it easy to store your delays, with external MIDI expanding this to 127 total presets for even greater functionality. Want to experiment with "new" and "aged" tape modes? The RE-202's Tape button instantly swaps between these two options to find that perfect sound. And whenever you want to mix up your sound with some added warping and twisting, footswitch controls for each function allow for enhanced creativity and complete control over every aspect of your delay.
