The Boss RE-20 Space Echo is a digital recreation of the legendary Roland RE-201, one of the most iconic tape echo units ever made. Using COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling) technology, the RE-20 faithfully captures the warm, organic sound of the original, delivering lush, vintage-style delays and reverb with the same character and dynamic response. It offers a wide range of delay times, from subtle slapback to long, evolving echoes, making it a versatile tool for guitarists, vocalists, and synth players alike.
The pedal features 12 modes, allowing users to combine different tape head configurations and reverb settings for a variety of tonal possibilities. The dedicated Wow & Flutter control adds tape-like modulation for an authentic, slightly warbled delay effect, while the expression pedal input provides real-time control over delay time or feedback. With a long delay time of up to 6 seconds, the RE-20 is capable of everything from vintage echoes to experimental ambient soundscapes.
Built to Boss’s high standards, the RE-20 is rugged and road-ready, featuring dual footswitches for easy control of effect on/off and the famous "twist" function, which creates wild, oscillating feedback swells. Whether you're chasing classic tape echo tones or pushing into new sonic territories, the Boss RE-20 offers the warmth, depth, and character of a vintage Space Echo in a reliable and modern pedal format.
