Timeless tone - a spot-on re-creation of the legendary RE-201 Space Echo
If it's a timeless delay effect you want, then look no further - the RE-20 is a faithful re-creation of the famous Roland RE-201 Space Echo. Since its introduction in 1973, the RE-201 Space Echo swept stages and studios for its incredible warm, tape-saturated echo effect. In fact, even many modern bands - including Radiohead - still turn to the original RE-201 Space Echo for its amazing effect. But now, you can have all that tone - without the vintage price tag and without having to replace tape heads - with the BOSS RE-20 Space Echo.
Modern controls, to improve on the original
With the BOSS RE-20 Space Echo, you get the same controls as the original RE-201 - but you also get a few handy "extras" that improve on the classic. To start, there's an 11-position rotary mode selector, which includes four Repeat Modes and seven Reverb Echo Modes. There's also a Reverb Only Mode you can select. Six knobs on the left of the pedal let you tweak bass, treble, reverb volume, repeat rate, intensity, and echo volume - which allow you to take your tone in an incredible range of directions. What's more, the BOSS RE-20 offers up a dedicated tap tempo pedal - one feature the original didn't. That way, you can control the effect on and off in real time while you adjust its sound to each turn in the song.
Incredible warm, saturated tape sound - use it on everything
You can put virtually anything through the BOSS RE-20 Space Echo to warm up its sound and achieve an awesome effect - natural choices include analog and digital synthesizers as well as electric guitars, but try putting your drum machine or electronic drum kit through it for truly cool results.
