Description
Boss has squeezed the inspiring sounds of the legendary Roland RE-201 Space Echo into a compact pedal! Introduced in 1974, the tape-based RE-201 quickly became a favourite among guitarists and studio wizards who adored its unique rhythmic echo sounds, warm character, and highly-playable sonic quirks. However, the Roland RE-201 was produced for just over 14 years — making original working units rare and highly sought-after.
But now, you can replicate the spellbinding tones of the Space Echo with the Boss RE-2! It delivers the coveted magic of the RE-201 in a pedalboard-friendly footprint with reliable digital circuitry — realised in flawless detail by the company that designed the original.
