SHOWDOWN! The Boss RE-2 Space Echo vs. Roland RE-201 Space Echo

The newly released and long awaited Boss RE-2 Space Echo turned a few heads when news of its pending release was leaked. And rightly so. Many people have been waiting for this pedal. In this video we dive into a little tape echo history; from natural echo chambers to the digital pedal. My buddy Perry kindly lent me his original RE-201 Space Echo to do this video. Let's see if the RE-2 will hold up against the real thing!

I think the main diference is in the preamp sound. The RE-201 saturates more and sounds a bit more organic. The RE-2 has less saturation but has a cleaner, more articulated tone, but sounds great as well.

@JPMonstie 8 ай бұрын

@@davedeville6540Had exactly the same thought, and you’re allowing the analog dry through to continue. I have some good cans and really struggled to tell which was which…in a blindfold, I’m not sure I could tell. Perhaps in the room, the 201 is warmer (again, this could be mitigated with analog booster) and more 3D but Boss have done a great job here. No two 201’s will sound exactly the same anyway according to those in the know.

I already ordered both this, and the RE-202 so it's great to get a preview of what I can expect from them. That 201 is in unbelievable condition, btw. It's the cleanest one I think I've ever seen. Your friend is very lucky to have it! Keep up the great work, mate. 👍

Awesome man!! Thanks so much! Yes, that RE-201 is insanely clean. Judging by the footage it's even cleaner than the one Boss used for the official promo. It has had one owner before my friend bought it and he took really good care of it. The only way to tell it's old is because it smells old up close!

Hands down this is the best demo/comparison so far. There were times I would zone out and forget which one you were playing because they sound so close. The RE-2 definitely captures the character well. Just out of curiousity, do you remember where you had the wow & flutter set during this? I can't quite make it out, other than being before the 12 o'clock postition.

@mishadoumnov 2 жыл бұрын

thanks for the video. I'm pretty curious to see what differences there are between the re-20 and re-2. In the 20 there is a "volume" which acts as a drive... the 2 has a flutter control... I wounder however that the main character differences are, sound, build quality.... The form factor of the smaller pedal is definitely tempting, but is it as good as the re-20?

@SashaIvantic 7 ай бұрын

I can. Play a note. Tap the octave for a harmonic. So if you fret on 4, tap on 16. Bend on 4, tap on 16. Just tap hard enough to hit the fret. Tap it fast! Merry Xmas 🎄❤️

When you did that small A/B-ing (with the two-three notes and bends) it was really, REALLY close!😱 I already PO:d mine and it will be fun to tink with. All though I do NOT have an RE-201 to compare with (sad to say😔) Well, a small package, tap tempo AND stereo I/O:s pretty much checks all my boxes🥳🤓 Great vid!
