Thank you! 😁

Thanks! Glad you found it useful. 👍

Many thanks! 😁

Thank you! 😊

Very kind of you to say! Thanks for watching. 🙂

You're welcome! 👍

Haha, glad you found it useful! It's what I'm here for. 😎👍🏼

Thanks man I even read the manual but seeing you do it was the winner since that's how I learn better...it was a grand success...can't wait to check out more of your vids

I'm glad it helped! Thanks for watching. 🙂👍🏻

Thanks for watching! 🙂 Yeah, there's quite a lot going on with this pedal. It's deceptively complex considering its size and layout! Sounds great, though, right? 😊

I'm glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching. 👍

Aww, thank you! 😊 It always takes me ages to set up for recording a demo, because first I spend like 20mins trying to record a loop that sounds good. Haha!

Haha, you're most welcome!

Unfortunately not. Or at least, not that I'm aware of. I agree, I think the Twist mode sounded way better on the RE-20. This one sounds a bit more like the DD-20/DD-8 version of that effect.

Thanks so much! 😊 I'm probably not the best person to ask, as I've never heard anything bad about any pedals with buffered bypass. Especially not Boss pedals. The only noticeable way the RE-2 affects the dry signal, is when the preamp is engaged.

I usually use a very subtle amount of room reverb, just to make my base-tone a bit more natural sounding and less dry and boring. So you're probably hearing that, especially at the start when you can hear the dry signal in isolation.

Yeah, it's pretty weird. But it's modelled on the original, so I assume it's accurate at least. I much prefer the Nu-X NDD-7, personally. Partly because the reverb in it, is a really nice hall instead of the janky, weird ass, faux-spring effect in Boss' RE series.

I personally hate the NUX. It sounds incredibly cheesy compared to the RE2 IMO. If you've ever played through an old Roland Space Echo, the RE2 and especially the 202 are really impressive in how closely they sound. You probably wouldn't like the original either if spring reverbs aren't your preferred reverb type. They're inherently clanky and short so I totally get that newer or younger players prefer halls and plates. Almost nobody buys a reverb pedal for the spring tone these days and I don't blame them because not too many pedals do it well as is. The RE202 does have a hall reverb option btw.

Hey! It's been a long time since I filmed this, so I can't remember how I had things set up here exactly. But have you tried flicking the polarity switch inside the DVP4?

@@PedalExperiments Thanks for the reply! Yes Ive tried flipping that switch. I also plugged it into a DD7 and it seemed to control E-Level without issues. As far as I can tell the DVP4 works exactly like a EV5 or EV30 with a 10k pot and TRS connection. I wish I had a way to test the RE2 without buying another EXP pedal.. anyways I guess you probably didnt modify the DVP4, so it should probably work. Im getting in touch with the shop I bought it from as ive been fighting with this for a while. Thank you for the suggestion anyways

@papersheepdog Hmmm, very strange. I assume you've tried all the steps I mentioned at about the 06:45 mark?

@@PedalExperiments Taking a closer look your process seems to be a bit different than whats in the manual.. I wonder if the pedal has changed at all over the years. It seems that you only stored one set of settings for heel down, and then toe down is just whatever the unit is set to currently. correct me if im wrong. In the manual, and what I experienced was first flashing I think green as I do one set of settings, then flashing red for another set of settings, and finally press the pedal to save the settings. Ill have another look tomorrow to be sure

@@PedalExperiments youre a legend thank you! I decided to give it all a shot over again and I feel dumb but I did have to open the DVP4 and switch it to Tip and then do the process. I think when I tried Tip before I didnt do the whole process, but its working now THANK YOU!!

Yeah, I guessed that might be the case. The reverb might be bad, but hey, at least it's authentically bad! 😄

Hey! I found you. 😄 First of all, you need to make sure you're using a stereo/TRS cable with your expression pedal. A regular mono/TS one won't work. Ok, so if you follow the instructions from about 6:20 of my video, you should see the process you need to follow. First, you have to unplug the power from the pedal (not sure if there's room for a battery under the footswitch, but if there is, take that out as well), then put the pedal into mode 11 and hold down the footswitch while you plug the power back in. After that, the power LED should flash to tell you that you can now configure the pedal settings for the "heel-down" position of your expression pedal (this is how you can get it to control only a single parameter, if that's what you want). When you've done that, press the footswitch again to store that setting, then set the controls again for the "toe-down" position of your expression pedal, and then you can sweep from the stored settings to the current settings. I hope that helps?

@@PedalExperiments yea sure. I got trs cable and a working expression pedal no doubt. Thats not the problem here. Just wondering about the second thing… is it possible to choose a parameter to control for example only the ”repeat rate”? I have the expression pedal working with the re-2 just asking for specific controls with it.

I covered everything in my last comment. If you only want to control one parameter, just configure the pedal to adjust only that setting. 👍

Oh sorry i did not see there was more text on your previous message…😅 okay thanks this already helps me a lot! Btw do you know is it possible to change modes when adjusting these expression pedal heel down and toe down settings?🤔

Good question. I'm afraid I'm not sure about that, and I don't have the pedal anymore to try it out. You'll have to experiment with yours and find out, I think. Let me know if you manage it!

Good question! Currently, there's only one product on the market that will let you do that. It's called the 'Expressionator' and it's made by Mission Engineering, but it costs like £250 or so. I'm working with Rockwright FX atm to make a competitor to that pedal, but with four outputs instead of just three. It's still in the beta testing stage at present, but hopefully it won't be too much longer...

@@PedalExperiments oh cool man sounds ace, will definitely be keeping my eyes pealed for that, i seeme a boss or dunlop one I’m sure that has 2 out puts so I’m taking it 2 is kind of standard the now

Yeah, I was looking to get a Boss EV-30 for a while, to at least give me two expression options on my board, but those are larger than I'd want to use, and I'd still want to use a third or fourth pedal with it anyway. 😄

Yes indeed! However, unlike on the DD-8, using the Twist function in this way turns the pedal on at the same time. Which is weird.

It worked for me! 😄

Hey, you're welcome! I don't think you can assign the functions, unfortunately. You just have to go with the order that Boss have used. The only things I can suggest, are either turning your footswitch upside-down, or taking it apart and swapping the footswitches over?

Hmmm, good question! You can definitely do that with a lot of stereo pedals, but I'm not sure if it would work with this or not. I would guess that it would!

I believe the reverb is in series after the echo, yes.

I don't think so, no. But tbh, you don't need an expression pedal to do that, since you can just turn down the Echo volume knob and leave the reverb knob turned up. 👍

@@PedalExperiments isn't the reverb applied to the wet delay signal? or is it applied to both dry and delay signal? Reverb has to effect both in order for this to work. If so, this pedal could be all you need far a wet sound! Cant wait to buy one!

Hard to say. You can make either pedal sound bright or dark, by using the tone/EQ controls. I haven't recieved my RE-202 yet.

Hey, thanks for asking! They're short for 'CONTROL' and 'EXPRESSION'. It's basically an input jack that can be assigned to different, remote functions within the pedal. Thanks!

@@PedalExperiments thanks man! I’ve been used to donner pedals and saw all the cool sounds people are making with this boss one but feel it is a bit above me

Sorry, not as yet. I'm hoping to get a DD-200 at some point soon, though. So watch this space!...

I wouldn't get rid of the RV-3, mostly because it's focused on cleaner, digital delay and better reverb. The RE-2 is a lot of fun, and sounds great, but you can have the exact same sounds from the Nu-X Tape Core Deluxe, for about ¼ of the price. However, if you're not on a budget I'd totally recommend getting an RE-2.

@@PedalExperiments Good call, I'll definitely check out the Nu-X pedal - wasn't aware of this until now. I am on a budget, I just have a tendency to fancy things I can't afford.

I made a comparison between the Nu-X and the RE-20 about two years ago that shows how close it is to the sound. It's really amazing! The newer NDD-7 takes that idea and really expands on it, but it's not out for a few months yet.

@@PedalExperiments Man I'm glad I discovered your channel - in that case I may just wait for the NDD-7. Cheers and subbed.

Many thanks! 😁👍

That's really weird. You shouldn't be able to "store" any particular setting. Especially not a low volume one... I would unplug all cables and power supply, and take out the battery (mine came with one already plugged in, so yours probably has one too!). Then plug everything back in and try again. Also, make the sure the volume knobs are turned up at noon and your guitar volume isn't turned down, etc.

Ah that's not good. 😬 I don't know if there's a way to factory reset the pedal or not. I don't think there is... How long have you had it? Can you return it, maybe?

@@PedalExperiments Thanks for your reply. In the meantime i switched it for some minutes, switched it on and in this process i recognized it had some interferences with the Boss NS-2 noise suppressor. After shutting off the ns-2 it (the re-2) worked like new.

Ah, that's a relief! Phew! 😄

@@lwpweb Put the pedal before the NS2 noise gate - that way the NS2 won't interfere with the repeats or reverb.

@@Smart-Alex i have it behind the ns chain. The ns chain covers only chain of selected distortion pedals (metal, fuz, Overdrive). But in general you have to be carefull with the re-2, especially using ext pedals, a thing i say dont touch it. :-)

It does, but you need to use an external footswitch to access that function, sadly.

@@PedalExperiments That's no issue, I have an FS-6 laying around somewhere.. Does it work just like the RE202 except on a external pedal?

@@MrJaapjeAapje Basically, yes. But I think there are extra momentary modes in the 202.
