it never ends. this will be like, my fourth?



i dont see many of these on boards. anyone using one of these dudes?

Yeah I have either this or a Memory Toy on my board depending on what I'm in the mood for. Love this pedal.

I'd like to try one!

ive always liked it. the size has always been kind of a thing, but its got all the features i find useful on a delay. plus it sounds really great.

what's your favorite setting?

Yeah for something that sounds 95% of what people expect a Space Echo to sound like they do seem a little underrepresented in the wild.

Recently I like to use three head mode with a single repeat and and a fairly long delay time.

I also like using turning up the input gain on reverb only mode and blasting sound through a giant garbage can.

Tried one in a store for almost an hour. It's a seriously great delay, no idea why more people don't have them.

i suppose it makes sense, it's a little expensive new for a delay that does one thing super well. the features are pretty fantastic though, my favorite being the high/low eq for the repeats. i'm also a big fan of the oscillation blast off thing when you hold down the tap switch. i feel like its pretty versatile for something thats meant to replicate the sound of a space echo.

my favorite setting is probably mode 3 with the bass up and treble down. i cant really remember because i havent played it in forever. just came in the mail yesterday to my office and today is my monday. i get to mess around with it when i get home tonight.

It's a fine piece. I have a real one still, and I *still* want one to have a second so I can do some stupid additional revocable mods to my tape one so it's just a wild and crazy nutball machine.

Bass up full is what I used on real 201s and 301s, and usually kept the verb down at 0.

My 150 I don't miss it but I'm not using it like an actual delay the vast majority of the time, it's a semi-sound on sound crackle monster.

Got one a few weeks ago and it sounded pretty good, one of the best Boss delays I have tried. Reverb is junk indeed.
Sold it a few days ago to buy gf's present... I know.

BTW, I remember seeing this tumblr with indie band's gear and the pedal that was like in 8 out of 10 boards is a RE20.

Reverb on the real ones is junky, but sometimes it's part of the charm. I don't need it in my current rig (one of the reasons the 150 was fine, along with it sharing something much closer to the 301's preamp than the 201's, I like the hi-fi later Space Echo preamp a little better if I get to pick).

But for what it is it's still a deal.

It plus a Time Bender and I could probably be happy in DelayLand.

Haven't played an RE-201 to compare but my RE-501 reverb is ok. The tank was replaced prior to my possession though, using a new Mod tank now. Hmm.

Guitarist in my band Weary Heads uses one through a twin. Sounds like an ocean of glass in deep space.

501's circuit is *much* cleaner than the 201 or the 301. It's almost acceptable for the time!

I never much loved the 501s and used to gut them for compatible parts (motor control, heads) when they were < $100 @ and Roland was sold out of parts.
