Boss RE-20 (Roland Space Echo RE-201 simulator)

This twin-pedal recreation of the legendary Roland Space Echo is already a classic pedal on its own right, and many top bands are starting to use it.

Why? Because it sounds exactly like the original Space Echo, but it’s much more reliable and affordable than the original.

The original Roland Space Echo RE-201 has been used by dub artists, and rock acts such as The Police, Radiohead, Primal Scream and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It certainly got lots of mojo…but it’s very rare and expensive now. Enter the Boss RE-20, compact, sturdy and thanks to COSM technology, it sounds as organic as an analogue delay.

This second-hand Boss RE-20 has a few marks but works just fine. It comes with the original box, manual, Boss catalogue and original (unopened) AA batteries, though a power supply is strongly recommended (hence the fact I never bothered using the AA batteries)

Grab a bargain! This Echo/ Reverb pedal is simply amazing!
