BOSS

collapse expand iconDescription

The BOSS RE-2 Space Echo effects pedal is a groundbreaking pedal that captures the iconic sound of the legendary Roland Space Echo RE-201. Built with cutting-edge BOSS technology, this innovative pedalboard wonder recreates the beloved tape echo effects of yesteryear in an ultracompact enclosure. Perfect for guitarists and bassists seeking vintage tone and experimental sonic textures, the RE-2 Space Echo delivers a galaxy of cosmic delay adventures right at your feet.

12 Echo Modes and Intensity Knob Provide Myriad Tonal Possibilities

With 12 echo modes to choose from—including the famous "RE-201" mode—the RE-2 Space Echo offers a universe of delay effects in a single pedal. Its dedicated intensity knob lets you dial in subtle repeats or wild self-oscillation effects. Roll it back for a splash of ambiance or crank it up for a mind-bending sonic excursion. The RE-2's analog-style BBD circuitry and high voltage design deliver warm, musical echoes with dreamy decay that capture the soul of the original Space Echo.

Tap Tempo and Expression Pedal Control Take Your Echo Into Uncharted Territory

The RE-2 Space Echo's Tap Tempo feature provides an easy way to sync your echoes to the beat for rhythmic ambiance and psychedelic soundscapes. Connect an optional expression pedal (sold separately), and you can morph between delay modes, adjust repeat intensity and more in real time—perfect for experimental performance art or cosmic improvisation.

Compact, Road-Ready Design Lets Your Echo Adventures Continue

While the RE-2 Space Echo conjures the tone of a vintage tape echo unit, its compact, pedalboard-friendly design is ready to take your music anywhere. Measuring just 5.7" by 2.8" by 2.3", this innovative stompbox tucks neatly into your pedalboard setup without crowding your signal chain. Powered by a 9V battery or optional power supply (sold separately), the RE-2 Space Echo brings legendary sound and experimental possibility to every musical adventure.

    I have other Boss pedals… Including a digital delay, reverb and Tera Echo. This is a great pedal that allows a wide variety of sounds. You can experiment and combine with effects from an amp and/or other pedals. I use an acoustic guitar with it and it's amazing. Love it.

  • Sounds great 👍

    Only tested it with my EVH 5150 lll running it up front but delivered that early VH tones. Still have to experiment with low gain and cleans yet.

  • Amazing Tape Delay

    My first review was accidentally submitted as a 1 star. This is definitely a 5 star pedal. One of Boss's best as of recent.

  • A great delay, but has trouble fitting in to my setup.

    I tried this pedal out, but it does not sound very well with my current solid-state setup. Would probably sound best paired with a vintage tube amp. The variations in the types of delays are also quite subtle and take a trained ear to hear it. Shoegazers paradise! I am going to return this pedal, as it is not the delay sound that I am used to, and its not something that sounds too pleasant to my ears. The pedal is touch responsive too, which can be a good or bad thing depending on how you play. For my play style, it's a negative effect to my sound. I would recommend this pedal though, Its a different style of delay that some might like
