RE-202 Space Echo

Description

1. Why I'm selling this item: I've been comparing tape delays for two months. I went back and forth with this and a few other pedals (El Capistan, Belle Epoch Deluxe, NUX...) This is the king daddy. I have two and am selling off the unused second one. 2. Condition: As new as a used item gets. Mint, in the box with all original inserts and manual. If you're looking for the absolute bottom line cheapest example of this beautiful device, this might not be it. (It might be, who knows) But if you're looking for one that you don't have to worry about, this is that one. I opened this a few weeks ago and spent the month doing a comparison of tape delays in search for which one will live on my current board. You know what this is or you wouldn't be looking at it. The legendary experience of Roland's Space Echo RE-201 returns in an advanced echo pedal with modern features. I run two pedalboards and bought two of these because I was given a great deal from Sweetwater, but I decided at the last minute to not duplicate the boards. I'm dressing the second board with smaller pedals, so this one has to go.Introduced in 1974, Roland's Space Echo RE-201 is one of the most legendary and sought-after effects units ever produced. This tape classic has remained in production for over 14 consecutive years, and its distinctive rhythmic echo sounds, warm character, and highly playable sonic quirks continue to inspire musicians, producers, and audio mixers for over four decades.The RE-202 faithfully delivers the authentic sound and behavior of Space Echo like never before. This advanced pedal captures the magic of the RE-201 in impeccable detail, from the tape and motor properties to the vibrant spring reverb and colorful preamp circuitry. And to go even further, the retro Space Echo experience has been expanded with many new features adapted to today's music.Retro sound at your fingertipsAll the basic controls from the original are here, including the iconic 12-way mode dial. Every behavior is reproduced with complete precision, like the gradual pitch change that occurs when the Repeat Rate knob is changed, or the cool feedback that occurs when the Intensity knob is at maximum.With selectable band age and variable controls, you can dial in everything from a brand new Space Echo to the worn character and quirks of a beloved retro piece. The saturation control has been carefully calibrated to the RE-201's actual tape and preamp behaviors, with the sound becoming warmer and more compressed as you turn the knob. And with the expressive Wow & Flutter control, you can evoke all the natural modulation characteristics that are essential to the Space Echo sound.Sound improvementsThe RE-202 includes many new features that expand the Space Echo for today's musicians. Dual echo time is available, as well as a fourth virtual tape head that unlocks five additional sound combinations. There is also a type of echo that changes the distance between the heads, which is not possible with the original. Unlike the mono RE-201, the RE-202 offers true stereo input/output and selectable operation for guitar or line level devices. For unprocessed sound, you can choose between the warm, fat tone of the RE-201 preamp or a clean signal without any processing.A stereo version of the RE-201's original spring reverb sound is also included, along with hall, plate, room, and surround types for added versatility. Expressive Warp and Twist effects are also available, allowing you to throw sound spatially with the press of a footswitch while playing.Modern controlTo complement its retro heart and soul, the RE-202 has all the modern features you'd expect from an advanced echo pedal. There are four onboard memories for storing and recalling favorite sounds, and a further 123 can be accessed using MIDI program switching. Tape-tempo is also on hand, as is selectable echo carry when changing memories. It is also possible to cut the unprocessed signal for parallel effects setups and studio use. Extensive control is available via external footswitches, an expression pedal and MIDI, including real-time operation of multiple parameters at once.Description• Authentically recreates the sound and behavior of Roland's legendary Space Echo RE-201• Classic multi-head tape echo sound with extended echo time• Original three-head configuration plus additional tape head for 12 unique echo combinations• Independent stereo reverb section with original spring reverb type plus hall, plate, room and ambience• Saturation control to add tape compression and preamp coloration• Wow & Flutter control to introduce different levels of natural band modulation• Choose between new and old band conditions• Selectable input modes for optimal performance with line-level instruments and equipment• Warp and Twist effects with footswitch control• Choose between unprocessed analog raw signal or modeled sound from the original Space Echo preamp• Four built-in memories plus current panel settings• Save and select 127 memories using external MIDI program switching• Tap-tempo and Report functions• True stereo input and output• Expandable control via external footswitches, expression pedal or MIDI• Rubber foot includedSpecificationsSampling frequency: 48 kHzAN conversion:24-bit + AF methodAF Method (Adaptive Focus Method): This is a proprietary method from Roland and BOSS that significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the AD converter.NA conversion: 32 bitsProcessing: 32-bit floating pointModes: 12 modesMemories: 127 + manualRecommended load impedance: Output A/mono, output B: 10 kilohms or moreBypass: BufferSettings:On/off switch, Memory switch, Tap switchSaturation button, Wow & Flutter button, Mode Selector button, Bass button, Treble button, Reverb Vol button, Repeat Rate button, Intensity button, Echo Vol button,Memory button, Input button, Tape buttonConnectors:Input A jack (mono), Input B jack, Output A jack (mono), Output B jack: 1/4" headphone jackCTL 1, jack 2/EXP: 6.35mm TRS headphone jackMIDI jacks (In, Out): Stereo minijackDC input jackUSB port: USB micro type B (program update only)Power supply: AC adapterCurrent draw: 140 mA
