General

The Boss RE-20 is the successor of the beloved RE201. With this new Space Echo, Boss has ensured that you can enjoy the famous tape echo sound for a very reasonable price. The RE-20 Space Echo offers the same tonal characteristics as the original echo effect, and sounds just as warm and expressive.

Characteristics of the RE-20

The spacious tone and warm details of analogue sound are beautifully emulated by the RE-20, which also features an authentic simulation of the RE-201's band flutter and magnetic head sound saturation. However, this new edition of the echo effect offers a longer delay time. The RE-20 is quick and easy to control - just use the tap pedal to set the repeat rate, and pick one of twelve options with the mode selector. Additionally, parameters like repeat rate, intensity, bass, treble, reverb and echo volume can all be adjusted using the expression pedal.

Dit is de digitale kopie van de legendarische RE-201 tape echo. Beroemd om zijn specifieke sound.
Ik gebruik deze voor gitaar in de 'send - return' lijn van mijn Marshall amp.
Absoluut de beste echo machine die er bestaat!!! Niet twijfelen of zoeken naar andere echo apparaten, dit is de enige die alle mogelijke echo's kan produceren met een unieke sound!
Gewoon doen!!!

Emulatie van de oude tape delay klinkt ronduit lekker.

Fx module kan overweg met MIC/LINE signaal, dus je kan er een synth tussen routen.

Niet elke fx pedaal kan de extra +6 db aan en geeft dan oversturing, maar de RE-20 heeft er geen probleem mee. Let wel op de tail van de delay, deze moet je *temmen*. Probeer lage volumes te houden zodat de langgerekte delay kan opbouwen en een moddervette echo laag in je mix opbouwt.

Je kan snel in een overstuurd signaalpad geraken, waardoor er een scherper, distorted frequentiespectrum bijkomt en dit is minder gewenst.

Ideaal voor ambient, DUB, House breaks, .... Overal inzetbaar, maar blijft wel een karakterstiek geluid.

Indien u een cleane, heldere, studiodelay zoekt, zou ik deze passen en een TC electronics Flashback nemen.

Indien u een tembare, moddervette, karakteristieke, analoog-klinkende en legendarische delay zoekt,

this is your thing. Goud waard.



De Reverb sectie is zeker niet verwaarloosbaar, het geeft een extra dimensie aan de echo tail, indien gewenst. Bruikbaar, clean, degelijk.

Zelf gebruik ik deze niet overmatig, hiervoor gebruik ik andere apparatuur.



Tap tempo / realtime modulatie met het induwen van de pedaal geeft een zeer welgekomen fun factor.



Synths komen, synths gaan, maar deze vette echo unit zal volgens mij altijd in mijn studio blijven bestaan.

Legendarisch toestel gebruikt door velen, oa : Radiohead, Portishead, Massive Attack ....



Prijs kwaliteit is dit een no brainer dus.

Fantastisch apparaat! Ik gebruik het pedaal voor mijn analoge synthesizers. Hij simuleert natuurgetrouw de tapedelay, inclusief vervorming bij het verhogen en verlagen van de repeats. De springreverb geeft het allemaal een mooi ruimtelijk effect!
Complimenten voor Bax wat betreft vlotte levering.

Detailgetrouwe COSM-simulatie van de legendarische RE-201 tape echo uit de jaren 70/80, inclusief preamp, kille reverb en spacey zelfoscillatie. Ben er zeer blij mee, want hij klinkt voor (minstens) 95% identiek aan de originele RE-201 die mijn bandmaat in zijn studio heeft staan, en dat is toch wel een prestatie van Boss. En de bijpassende retrolook van het pedaal is de kers op de taart :-) Blijvertje!

Prachtig delay en reverb pedaal, met een tape-echo twist. Klinkt fantastisch, en is eenvoudig te gebruiken. Absolute aanrader als je een delay pedaal wil die net even anders is.

wilde altijd graag de echte orginele roland re-20 hebben,... maar sinds ik de Boss Re-20 heb is dat niet meer een wens. erg goed klinkende net als het orgineel... alleen geen gedoe met tapejes.

Eén van de populairste echo-effecten ooit, de Roland RE-201 Space Echo, maar dan in pedalvorm van BOSS In samenwerking hebben zij alles in het werk gesteld om te zorgen dat deze echo precies klinkt zoals de origineel. Eindelijk kan iedereen over die unieke bandechosound van de RE-201 beschikken zonder er een fortuin voor neer te tellen.Ik gebruik deze echo in combinatie met een Marshall jcm800
