Features
The Authentic Space Echo Experience in a Compact Pedal
Introduced in 1974 and produced for over
14 years, the Roland RE-201 Space Echo stands among the most legendary
and sought-after effect units in music history. Known for its
distinctive rhythmic echo sounds, warm character, and highly playable
sonic quirks, this tape-based classic continues to inspire musicians,
producers, and audio mixers over four decades on.
With the RE-2, the authentic sound and behavior of the Space Echo
is now available in the famous BOSS compact series for the first time.
Backed by intensive R&D and our latest innovations, the RE-2
delivers the coveted magic of the RE-201 in a pedalboard-friendly
footprint—realized in flawless detail by the company that designed the
original.

RE-201 Space Echo: Simply Legendary
When tape-based echoes were standard in the music world, the RE-201 was a leader in its class. Equipped with three evenly spaced tape heads and a spring reverb tank, it could produce everything from clean, single delays to dense, rhythmic echoes and ambient washes. The RE-201’s appealing sound was influenced by many factors, from the warm compression of magnetic tape saturation to the evolving modulation produced by motor speed fluctuations, friction, and other elements. Last but not least, analog preamp circuitry was a key ingredient in the Space Echo’s rich sonic recipe.
A Masterpiece Reborn
In developing the RE-2 and its
big brother, the RE-202, BOSS engineers have fully reproduced all the
complex, non-linear behaviors that contribute to the RE-201’s immortal
character. We carefully analyzed several vintage RE-201s, including a
pristine original unit from the BOSS and Roland factory archive.
Everything that influences the sound has been recreated with all-new
algorithms, including the tape path, record/playback mechanism, motor
variations, preamp coloration, spring reverb character, and more.
Journey to Deep Space
The RE-2 squeezes the complete
sonic character of the RE-201 into the classic BOSS compact pedal
format. The 11-position mode selector lets you dial in different virtual
tape heads with or without spring reverb, and you can balance the
echo/reverb blend with independent level knobs. Every behavior is
accurately replicated, such as the gradual pitch change that occurs with
Repeat Rate tweaks and the runaway feedback that happens when maxing
the Intensity knob. And with the expressive Wow & Flutter control,
you can conjure all the natural modulation characteristics that are
essential to the Space Echo sound.
