Tape echo magic
Tape echo was the first delay effect and one of the first effect processors available for electronic musicians. In contrast with today's CPU-based digital units, a tape echo is a simple machine that uses a motor to pull magnetic tape across one or more record/playback heads. Warm, full, and dynamic, the tape echo sound is influenced by many factors. The ever-changing input level colors the sound with varying amounts of tape saturation and compression. In addition, motor speed fluctuations, friction, wow and flutter, and other elements introduce an appealing modulated character that's subtle and continually evolving.

RE-201 Space Echo: simply legendary
The RE-201 was a benchmark Roland product and one of the leading tape echo units of its era. It featured three evenly spaced heads that produced a wider range of echo effects than typical single-head designs, plus an innovative free-running tape system that provided superior performance with minimal tape wear. Grab-and-go controls enabled quick access to clean, single delays or various head combinations for dense, rhythmic echoes. A spring reverb tank was included too, making the RE-201 a one-stop shop for quality ambience effects. Last but not least, analog preamp circuitry was another key ingredient in the Space Echo's rich sonic recipe.

A masterpiece reborn
Realized through the latest technologies and exhaustive analysis of several vintage RE-201s—including a pristine original unit from the BOSS and Roland factory archive—the RE-202 brings the complete Space Echo experience to life in a versatile modern pedal.

While previous BOSS designs captured the true sonic flavor and essential characteristics of the Space Echo, new advancements have allowed us to go much deeper than ever before. With the RE-202, Boss engineers have fully reproduced all the complex, non-linear behaviors that contribute to the RE-201's immortal character. Everything that influences the sound was carefully examined and recreated with all-new algorithms, including the tape path, record/playback mechanism, motor variations, preamp coloration, tape age, spring reverb character, and more.

Retro Sound at your fingertips
The RE-202 delivers the full vintage vibe of the RE-201—without the need for regular tape replacement and hardware maintenance. All the core controls of the original are here, including the iconic 12-position mode selector. Every behavior is replicated with complete accuracy, such as the gradual pitch change that occurs when the Repeat Rate knob is tweaked, or the cool runaway feedback that happens when the Intensity knob is maxed.

With selectable tape age and variable controls, you can dial in everything from a brand-new Space Echo to the worn character and quirks of a well-loved vintage piece. The Saturation control has been carefully calibrated based on the actual magnetic tape and preamp behaviors of the RE-201, with the sound becoming warmer and more compressed as you turn up the knob. And with the expressive Wow & Flutter control, you can conjure all the natural modulation characteristics that are essential to the Space Echo sound.

Sonic enhancements
The RE-202 includes many new features that extend the Space Echo for today's musicians. Twice the delay time is available, along with a fourth virtual tape head that unlocks five additional sound combinations. There's also an echo type that changes the distance between the heads, something not possible with the original. In contrast with the mono RE-201, the RE-202 provides true stereo I/O and selectable operation for guitar or line-level devices. For the dry sound, you can choose between the warm and fat RE-201 preamp tone or a clean signal with zero processing.

Also included is a stereo version of the original spring reverb sound from the RE-201, along with hall, plate, room, and ambience types for additional versatility. Expressive Warp and Twist effects are available as well, allowing you to launch the sound into outer space with the press of a footswitch while performing.

Modern control
To complement its vintage heart and soul, the RE-202 has all the modern features you'd expect from an advanced delay pedal. There are four onboard memories for storing and recalling favorite sounds, and 123 more are accessible via MIDI program change. Tap tempo is also on hand, as well as selectable delay carryover when switching memories. It's also possible to mute the dry signal for parallel effect setups and studio usage. Expanded control is available via external footswitches, an expression pedal, and MIDI, including real-time operation of multiple parameters at once.

Quality bathroom cabinet. Easy to build yourself, but heavy for one person to hang.
Color: White With Silver Handle, Size: 24x30, Color: White With Silver Handle, Size: 24x30
Finally, a product that the customer has to build, that is worth the price paid. This cabinet is extremely well made. The quality of the soft close hinges is also very good, and totally adjustable. The exterior of the cabinet, the finish, which is moisture proof, is also very well done. My husband put the cabinet together alone. He remarked , all the holes lined up, making putting it together easy, and fast. It was simple to follow the instructions, taking him about 30 to hang time. I am very pleased with this purchase, so much so, I will be purchasing this same cabinet for our upstairs bathroom.

Recommend, sturdy, good hardware, easy hang
Color: Navy Blue With Silver Handle, Size: 24x30
This is quite nice. It is sturdier than I expected. The way it hangs is really nice, it will be easy to lift off to paint the wall. The hinges are nice and soft close. One bad thing is it is quite smelly right away. I keep forgetting to keep the doors open to air that out so every time I open it I am still hit with the bad chemical smell. There were also sticky areas around the edges from the packaging that I had to work hard to get off and still don’t have quite all of it off.

Exceptional product !
Color: Expresso With Silver Handle, Size: 24x30
EXCEPTIONAL is every way ! Couple of tips included. 1) Packaging. Perfect. Used high quality EPS that didn't shred and make a mess when you unpacked it. Every piece was wrapped and corner capped to prevent any damage. EVERY RTA product should be packaged this way. 2) Assembly: Easy. Every piece was clearly labeled, instructions were easy to follow. NOTE: This cabinet used a "beveled bar" type product hanger which makes it SOOOO easy. Just make sure the bar is level and centered where you want it to go, and viola! Hint: For sheetrock or drywall install, I used Hilti (toggle type) screws, not the included anchors. Hilti's are easier and more stable. If you are going into stud, obviously you can screw directly into them, but otherwise, use Hitli (toggle type). I also put a couple of small rubber bumpers on the back, at bottom of unit to help prevent it from moving around during use. Also, I'll use a couple of felt door bumpers on inside of doors as well. 2) Finish Quality: Perfect. I used "goof off" to remove a couple of stickers residue and it didn't affect the finish at all. Don't know what this finish is, BUT it seems Extremely durable, but check any cleaning agent using the mount bar as that is not seen. 3) Overall: I'd been hesitating to install this for non related reasons, but when I saw the beveled mount bar type hanger, figured I give it a shot. It was SO easy. The only thing is I bought the espresso finish, and was thinking it may have a wood grain look, but it's smooth, almost appears like a powder coat type finish, but am extremely happy with the product and highly recommend it.

solid, quality cabinet and the best wall mounting system I have seen in a while
Color: Black With Silver Handle, Size: 24x30
It is a quality cabinet and has the best wall mounting system I have seen in a long time. The cabinet is solid and sturdy and was easy to put together. I can already see it lasting a long time in our bathroom. It is a bit heavy and you may need a second person to assist with mounting.
