Take Your Delay Effects to a New Level

Create unique echo and ambiance effects with the BOSS TE-2 Tera Echo pedal. The TE-2 analyzes and breaks down your signal into multiple frequency bands, resulting in distinctive echo and ambiance effects you can't achieve with traditional delay pedals. This isn't your typical delay or reverb, it's an all-new echo effect. Stereo ins and outs make it perfect for expansive soundscaping. If you're looking for a delay effect with a character all its own, Sweetwater guitarists recommend trying the BOSS TE-2 Tera Echo pedal.

Stereo output for huge sound

You'll be able to produce a huge stereo landscape with the TE-2's stereo output. The Tera Echo will give you a sweet and complex guitar sound that fills any room. Stereo inputs let you add the TE-2 to a true-stereo effects chain, and are also perfect for keyboard players. You can also use the stereo outputs to drive two amps simultaneously.

Rugged design and construction that will stand up

Each BOSS pedal is housed in a stomp-ready metal box and features a rubberized stomp area and base, to help safeguard against slipping. In other words, they're built like a tank. So, whether you're a fresh-out-of-the-gate beginner, an axe-veteran designing your dream pedalboard, or anywhere in between, you can depend on BOSS's proven line of pedals to craft your tone.

BOSS TE-2 Tera Echo Pedal Features:

  • Unique echo effect
  • High-tech processing with a custom DSP chip
  • Stereo outputs for feeding 2 amps and creating wide stereo soundscapes

Reviews

Tera Echo
One of the coolest pedals I own, such a beautiful sound
Music background: 21 year guitar player
Lush sounds!
This is probably the most unique sounding pedal I've bought. I don't think I would use this as a standard 'always on' reverb or delay, but when it comes to adding some trippy ambient space sounds, this is really fun to punch in. It handles overdrive tones pretty well, but to me it really shines with clean playing. I like how it reacts very differently to long notes vs staccato picking. Sounds amazing when you put it behind subdivided dotted 8th note delay - think "nighttime in an enchanted rainforest". I have it sitting in between the Boss DD-8 and RV-6 on my board. Really fun to stack the effects and create some wild sounds.
Perhaps the most unique pedal I have ever owned - and I have had them all
This is more than a delay. More than a modulation. It is an audio experience (especially in stereo) if you love interesting guitar parts that sound HUGE - try this pedal. It is not an 'every song, always on" pedal. It is a "pull it out and blow people's minds" pedal - BOSS rules sometimes. This is a home run.

It's like putting your bass through the Dark Crystal, full of little, shattered highs and deep, welling lows.

Creative, ambient effect pedal with BOSS-patented execution
I ignored the BOSS Tera Echo for years upon its release (and so did much of the buying public, based on the lukewarm hype), but that was a mistake. I'm not sure what BOSS could have done to better explain what this pedal is and what it does, but it really isn't an "echo" or "delay" pedal in the traditional sense of the word at all.

Rather, it combines elements of "reverb", "delay", and "modulation" for a unique, ambient effect that can be both traditional or wildly exotic, depending on settings. There really is no control for "time" of repeats, as these behave more like reverberations bouncing off of walls in some logarithmic fashion. With the effect level and "S-Time" controls set modestly, you can an almost vintage slapback effect. With higher settings, there is almost a sci-fi like modulated echo effect, which sounds like it has elements of flanger in there. This is particularly noticeable if you dig in on a rake or palm muted note. In fact, pretty much everything the Tera Echo does responds dynamically to pick attack.

As if that wasn't interesting enough, BOSS threw in the "easter egg" of a sample and hold mode. Strum a chord while pressing and holding the pedal - the Tera Echo will grab the notes and continue playing back the reverberated portion of that note in a sort of loop or pad. You can then continue to play over that (as the LED alternates red and green), and the new notes will also have the Tera Echo effect applied. It's an amazing cool and inspiring feature that was sparsely even mentioned in the pedal's manual, if at all.

There's a lot of avant garde delay options on the market, especially if you want to spend some money. I like the Tera Echo because it offers tried-and-trusted BOSS durability, and covers a wide sampling of reverberated sounds - ranging from the traditional to interstellar.
