The RE-201 Space Echo is a highly-prized classic. Tape warmth, great sounds, reverb on tap, big and beautiful. The RE-202 condenses all of that RE-201 goodness into a retro-shaped package that includes some welcome features not found on the original. Presets for starters. There are four foot-switchable memory slots on board with access to a full 127 slots if you employ a MIDI controller. Reverb types: not just one as found on the original but five different types. You can footswitch on or off your Reverb of choice too. There's a fourth virtual tape head - the original had three. If you want to spice things up you'll find 'Twist' and 'Warp' functions at your service: both foot-switchable. The RE-202 is proper stereo in/out. NEW and AGED virtual tape types are selectable as well as the amount of virtual Wow & Flutter. Saturation can be applied to both the tape and direct signals if desired. Tap tempo is here too. There's a lot to love about the RE-202. I decided that I'll just let the sounds do the talking for this video. Thanks for watching.

Tasty playing! Nice to hear someone who plays WITH the delay rather than just fiddling with delay
Yeah, it can be part of the instrument. Easy enough to manipulate on the fly too. Cheers.
Let's see...A Gilmour looking strat

Now, where did I put that Orange Sunshine...?
😁😎👍
😎👍❤🖖
Wow! And not a hint of flutter. Best demo on this thing so far, thank you.
There's a reissue? I'm about to go look up the price after I finish watching Brett play the film track off some 80s movies. This thing sounds bloody good to my ears.
Edit: Roland, if you're reading this to see how your investment in Brett's demo went, feel free to give him more demos, I just bought one of these yesterday based on this review.
This video fundamentally changed me as a person it was so epic. That pedal is an instrument In itself
I was hoping you'd get your hands on the bigger one! The layout seems more intuitive than the compact pedal which is great in itself but the extra options here are good to have.
Do I need it - no. Do I want it - YES!
Nice demo.
that's exactly what I though whilst I was testing the pedal in the shop. No need to say it came home with me
@@DarioFerrante-pi8ov Yeah, I got one too!
Boss has done such a good job recreating the original Space Echo. This thing is seriously powerful and sounds incredible. Seems easy enough to use too 💯👍🏼
I hope they do a CE-1 like this in the big box with the preamp.
So, now I wait for this to arrive. Backorders are painful sometimes. Lol. Thanks for the demo! I would love to see a demo of a connected expression pedal in action. Can't seem to find that. Maybe I will have to record one. Thanks again!
Those swells were awesome! Hours of fun!
lol, i was looking for a reason to cancel my order because of the hefty price tag. And here i am and i want it even more than before.
Playing was flawless. Something grates on me with this. Tinny? Harsh? I don't know. It just does.
Real pretty jams bruv. Spookin me right out. Very cool toy indeed. Dunno if I could ever justify owning such a thing or if I'd be able to maximise its capabilities in an artistic way, which is always the issue with such toys.
You sir definitely extracted some amazing sounds from it and showed its capabilities in an artistic way.
Guitarist like myself that jam alone in the TV room. They tend to try to make a tone that sounds like the whole band. So a treble soaked tone sounds bad to them. But in a mix, it's on point.
The violinning with saturation sounded just like Phaedra era Tangerine Dream
I don't think I've ever heard that. I'll have to investigate! 🙏🏻
@@BrettKingman check out Ricochet, their first live album, from around 1975
Awesome demo . Best I’ve seen . Shows just what this can do .
Artfully demoed...gobs of fun for you obviously, and covered lots of sonic ground.
Yeah, it's inspiring if you let it be. Cheers.
I wonder what a snare would sound like through this... 🤔
Now we're talking. 🎉
Difficult to compare with an original unit which, other than reliability issues, was not constructed consistently. So, especially once wear and tear is factored in, this modern digital recreation will not sound the same as a tape-echo unit constructed a quarter-of-a-century or more ago ago. It still has the essence of the RE-201 and would be perfect for someone who wants that feel without all the technical grief of a tape machine. It's like the digital Echorec simulations. Certainly the original sounds a bit better but would anyone but a top-line professional with spare machines and a couple of expert techs want to use one out live?
Around 4 mins, the melody sounded like the string section from new model army by vagabonds
great acid! nice work
Thanks!
Killed this demo!
Great demo Brett. Great demo Brett. Great demo Brett. Great demo Brett. Great demo Brett. Great demo Brett. Great demo Brett. Great demo Brett.
Really like the look and design. Sound wise not the same.
This is my second time watching this. So good.
This was a killer demo
Great demo - thanks Brett - I bought one!
Great Job. Can't wait for mine to ship!
Yeahhhhh man! I just bought one😁🌌
“The Professor” at work
Excellent demo nice sound and playing😊
Maybe tweaked but still iconic!🎸
Hey Brett! Great video. Not sure if I missed this but can the reverb stay on if the delay is off?
Great Demo!! Thank you!
Excellent demo, as always. Thank you, Brett.
Thanks for tuning in!
so sweet
Wow! It is time to save some money and sell my RE-20.
The reverb sounds gooood!!! What about the spring setting. Is it a dripping spring tank? Ready for some surf?
Are you familiar with the RE-20? The master volume is suitable for a attuanator like thing. Does the saturation knob do the same thing?
Incredible - thanks for sharing!
Hello I need how can coneect this pedal to midi Jorge pad control ?? Thanks
This is great, but where is that "Honey" hat from?!?
Thanks for the demo! Out of curiosity, is there anything this does that your Axe-FX can’t do?
Ha! No, the Axe-FX III is the second most influential and positive thing to happen in my life in the last 30 years. The first was marrying Elisabeth.
Amazing
Love your vids Brett
that was epic!
Very Nice demo !!
Beautiful
Sublime playing a Brett!
Great video Brett. Love your channel man. Finally got my RE-202 and thought I'd just share this. I really wanted to be able to use the reverb by itself, which you can do, but only if you turn the echo volume down MANUALLY. My hope was that when I switch off the delay, the reverb could still be on regardless of echo volume or any other settings. I'm sure there is some sort of hack by using the presets or something but this is disappointing as I always leave reverb on. If anyone has a solid workaround, let me know!
Thanks for that tip. Yeah, I jumped in and made the purchase. I have to wait since it is on backorder where I am. But, I am super excited. Let us know if you happen upon a workaround. I almost never fly without reverb also.
The manual says: The [REVERB VOL] knob adjusts the volume of the reverb. If the [ECHO VOL] knob is turned all the way counterclockwise, you can use only reverb. Maybe just assign the echo volume to an expression pedal?
I hope that a RE-202 could be adapted to drums (reggea/dub stuff) connecting to mixer send/return:: Does anyone has experience in using this device with drums? I am seriously considering to buy the space echo :: any help will be appreaced thank you
Sounds great! Can I switch the delay on off via the footswitch but still have the reverb on?
NIce swells bro.
This or the Boss DM-101?
DM-101 for me.
👍🏿🤘
This just sounds way brighter than a space echo and misses the character of the unit. Anyone who is raving about this pedal I suspect isn't really familiar with the original unit.
The majority of people don’t have the cash to drop on a rare and expensive vintage unit so of course they haven’t. The treble could also have been rolled back to make it darker.
Brightness is easy to take care of from the unit itself. No one thinks this is 1-1 with actual tape, just that it sounds great for many peoples purposes. Get an Echofix if you want to pay top dollar for a real new tape echo! I don’t think everyone is stupid and delusional for liking this pedal!
@@Eggsisreallychicken Personally I would advise people to just buy the old RE-20 version. Sounds great and closer to the original. This unit to my ears is something different to the classic Space Echo sound. Not a bad sound, just not a space echo
@@gapping3000 I've heard the re-20 and I think it sounds fine but also digital and tinny in a lot of cases. This one sounds better, less digital artifacts, to my ears.
@@Eggsisreallychicken I'll concede the digital artefacts are there on the RE-20. The original re-201 sounds tinny sometimes as well, especially the reverb tank. I think this is a fine pedal and I wouldn't say it's a bad sound. Just it's not really a "Space Echo"
Aw gee sus ! And what do we get ? Duh duh duh duh pring pring pring pring duh duh duh duh surely it can do better than this ? Can't play a three hour gig with duh duh duh duh pring pring pring pring ! Our audience will walk out with very bad headaches ! Seems that the strymon Volante is the one
...what?
You go on tons of delay demo videos and rant about duh duh duh pring pring pring. Do you not think people want to know what the repeats sound like on a delay?
I don't know what your issue is, do you just want 10 minutes of someone covering songs?
@@adamnesbitt11 ....... I need to know what it's likely going to sound like onstage in a live situation, duh duh duh duh pring Pring Pring Pring just isn't it, best wishes to you. 🙂👍🇬🇧
Re -202 is better than the anologue delay.IMO
