[The] Space Echo offered a certain sound that soon became a favorite of artists of the time, including Bob Marley, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd, and remains a staple in live performance and recorded tracks today, whether from vintage originals or in plug-in form.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>About the RE-201 Space Echo<\/h2>\n<p>First introduced in 1973, the Space Echo series of products are considered to be among the finest tape-based delay units ever created, and are still sought after today. Though there were a number of different models through the years, the RE-201 Space Echo\u2014first launched in 1974\u2014was both the enduring benchmark and most popular. With its three separate playback heads, built-in spring reverb, and distinctive 12-position Mode Selector, the RE-201 was easy to use and capable of a wide range of creative, organic echo effects. As such, it found a home in many different music applications, from recording sessions to concert\u00a0performances. The Space Echo was also an important component in the reggae-driven dub sounds created by early electronic music artists.<\/p>\n<h2>RE-20: The Space Echo in Stompbox Form<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_13889\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RE-20.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13889\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13889\" data-attachment-id=\"13889\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/2015\/11\/11\/echoes-in-time-the-history-of-boss-delay-pedals\/re-20\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RE-20.jpg?fit=800%2C706&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,706\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"RE-20\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RE-20.jpg?fit=300%2C265&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RE-20.jpg?fit=800%2C706&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-13889 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RE-20.jpg?resize=800%2C706\" alt=\"RE-20 Space Echo\" width=\"800\" height=\"706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RE-20.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RE-20.jpg?resize=300%2C265&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bossus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RE-20.jpg?resize=768%2C678&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13889\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BOSS RE-20 Roland Space Echo pedal.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Today, you can experience the mojo of the RE-201 with the BOSS <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bossus.com\/products\/re-20\/\">RE-20<\/a> Space Echo pedal.
