Boss RE-202 Space Echo – Classic Tape Delay, Reimagined
The Boss RE-202 Space Echo revives one of the most iconic delay units in music history, the Roland RE-201 Space Echo. Originally introduced in 1974, the RE-201 became legendary for its warm, rhythmic echo, spring reverb, and dynamic tape modulation. Now, with the RE-202, Boss has meticulously recreated the authentic tone and behavior of the original unit while adding modern features to meet the needs of today's musicians, producers, and performers.
Whether you're chasing vintage delay textures, tape-driven warmth, or experimental soundscapes, the RE-202 delivers a fully immersive and playable experience. Built by the company that created the original, this advanced pedal faithfully replicates the tape and motor characteristics, spring reverb, and preamp coloration, bringing the RE-201 magic to your pedalboard.
