Manufacturer's ID: RE-2
What we say:
At A Glance:
The Boss RE-2 Space Echo takes the sound of the iconic Roland RE-201 Space Echo unit and distils it down into a pedalboard-friendly stompbox.
Thanks to Boss's innovative circuit modelling technology, fans of vintage style reverb and echoes will absolutely love how close the RE-2 sounds to the original, and just like the RE-201, a huge range of multi-head tape echo sounds can be dialled in. Including spring style reverbs, rhythmic delays, and dreamy wash tones that take advantage of the Wow & Flutter controls.
If you want to add the authentic vintage echo tones of the RE-201 to your pedalboard set-up, here it is for the first time in the benchmark quality standard you can expect from a Boss pedal.
Features We Love:
Spring Reverb Tones
Just like the vintage RE-201, the RE-2 lets you blend between its stunning reverb and echo sounds. The reverb side of the pedal delivers realistic spring style reverb that when used solo, evokes an authentic vintage character that can also be mixed with the echo to create huge ethereal tones.
Tape Echo
The Echo section is really where the Space Echo comes into its own and allows you to dial in everything from rhythmic delays that can match your playing thanks to the tap tempo control, to slap-back echoes, long dreamy repeats and even self-oscillating feedback freakouts.
Wow & Flutter
Unlike standard digital delay pedals that can often sound clinical, the Wow & Flutter controls really bring the sound of the RE-2 to life! Recreating the sound of analog tape drifting faster and slower to create a chorus like tone, Wow & Flutter can be used subtly with the echo and reverb to create a synthwave like wash, or more aggressively to take you into shoegaze territory.
More Than a Guitar Pedal
Just like the vintage Space Echo, the RE-2 is designed for use with a range of sources and gives you the option to run in mono or stereo. Meaning it can be used with keyboards and synthesizers, or even used as an insert effect in-studio applications.
