Introduced in 1974, the Roland RE-201 Space Echo is among the most legendary and coveted effects units ever produced. This tape-based classic remained in production for over 14 consecutive years, and its distinctive rhythmic echo, warm character and highly playable sonic quirks still inspire musicians, producers and audio mixers over four decades later.
Backed by intensive research and development and our latest innovations, the RE-202 faithfully delivers the authentic sound and behavior of Space Echo like never before. Built by the company that designed the original, this advanced pedal captures the magic of the RE-201 in flawless detail, from the magnetic tape and motor characteristics to the vibrant spring reverb and colorful preamp circuitry. And to take things even further, we've expanded the vintage Space Echo experience with loads of new features tuned to today's music.
