One of the most beloved echo effects ever made, the Roland RE-201 Space Echo, has been reborn as the BOSS RE-20 Twin Pedal! Roland and BOSS have recreated every sonic detail and nuance of the original. Experience the legendary tape-echo sound of the RE-201, and get "lost in space" with this retro-modern marvel.

* Amazing simulation of the famous Roland RE-201, with the spacious, analog tone of the original Space Echo

* Faithful modeling of the RE-201's tape flutter and magnetic head sound saturation

* Tap input pedal allows delay time to be set by foot

* Longer delay time than the original RE-201

* Control parameters such as REPEAT RATE, INTENSITY, and more via Expression pedal

* MODE SELECTOR knob with 12 placements just likes the original Space Echo

I'm interested to hear what it sounds like once it's available. But man, I hate that moulded plastic thing that Boss has going with its double pedals.

You can get the manual over here if you want to see the full specs:

i'd be willing to give it a try! i have a 201 with a dead motor. what almost everyone seems to neglect is that what make the 201 so unique is that it contains a small reverb spring inside. it was a combo of the delay and the reverb together that gave it it's sound. most digital clones seem to miss that point. hope roland remembers!

Something like $235.

That's way better than $3000 for a decent RE-201.

Plastic sucks, I agree, but these are failing times, and I wanna get my kicks before it all goes up in flames..

[ouroboros]

~235 isn't bad at all.
still can't afford it, but it's the thought that counts.

it's not that bad, I have the leslie and the guitar synth double pedals and they are not the soft, thin plastic behringer uses, it 1/8 inch thick (i had the synth one for like 5 years and it's less beaten up than some metal ones I have (digitech, mxr are prone to chipping and EHX gets bumpy pretty fast)
i SO want this one to on my pedal board and it's full stereo so it can go after my boss lezlie

edit : added the quote as it took me to long to write and its ot of context now
reading the manual now, entering GAS mode

I'm skeptical, but we'll see...

[shamann]

they are not the soft, thin plastic behringer uses,

I'm less concerned with the build quality, shallow as I am, I just think that it's heavy on the fugly.

oh-oh... guess this means boss/roland will be coming after ArcDev

this does look pretty cool - but can you set the amount of tape flutter, and the 'inertia' like on ArcDev Dubboxx?

could be very good. hope so.

While we're having a drool-fest, anyone ever see one of these before:
