I know it's not the correct place (also a double post, sorry), but I got pretty excited;
http://www.roland.com/products/en/RE-20/index.html
Guess it will be presented at the Frankfurt Musik Messe today....
I'm starting to feel that a Twin Pedal reissue of the VB2 is just coming closer and closer...

i must admit this looks really cool!
i know the original space echo was a massive unit, and that Boss have not reissued any of its compact pedals to date. but could this be seen as a 're-issue'?
Will we see compacts being reissued in the future????
The RE-20 will deffo be on my shopping list though!!

I have e-mailed Linda at Roland Scandinavia and she wrote:
RE-20 will be released in Scandinavia june/july retail price around $340 (street price lower of course).

Wow, thanks for the headsup Mikke. Definitely one to get.
I'm starting to hate Roland. They're grabbing all my money.  |

Isn't a reissue more of a exact replica of the original.. like Ibanez' TS-9 reissues???
If BOSS ever start making reissues of their old stompboxes look for my collection in the Selling forum  - then I'll start Pearlarea, Korgarea or perhaps Yamahaarea ... |

What does the space echo sound like? Can it be compared to the RV-* or the DM-* pedals? It looks very cool. Very "70s", don't you think?

Vim : no... it's nothing like this. Not a reissu, nor a replica. The original Space Echo (RE-201) is a tape unit, so this one is a modeling of the original.
Roland or Boss would never do reissu. Or I hope so. It would break theyr reputation. Some brands live on theyr past glory (Maxon and the TS-808...  ), some are innovators. Boss allways stand for innovation, they couldn't really do reissu, it would go against this. |

I should have put the word "reissue" in my first post in quotations maybe :)
I wasn't referring to this as being a reissue (althought it sort of is...by function and name), but merely voicing my hopes that they will equally "reissue" the Vibrato pedal VB-2 in some form. The twin pedal would be a great platform... |

| Line 6 makes a pretty good Space Chorus as well. If you check their sample site they have some great mp3s of deep space echo swell. |

Hi BossHog
Are you talking about the Space Chorus floor pedal, that line 6 make?
If so, I have one of these, I will be truthful and tell you that, I have spent many hours trying to get a good sound out of mine, with limited success.
I have only run it in MONO, I have not tried a stereo 2 amp set up.
I have become very disillusioned with this pedal.
It has a CE-2 emulation & I have never been able to get it to sound anything remotely like my prized CE-2 collection.
I spent time reading the manual, & tried the suggested settings.
I even down loaded the demo video, & even the demonstrator, can't get
a reasonable chorus out of it, & he just seems to fudge it, till the video ends?
The Tri-Chorus setting is bland.
I have always held a high regard for Line 6 products, but this one let me down, it sits gathering dust, if I was to get mugged, I would throw it at the offender, it would probably kill hin-her, this is one VERY heavy in weight pedal.
If you or anyone has suggestions or settings for the Space Chorus, I am all ears.
I thought it was me not being able to get to grips with this Chorus, but a have let other friends loan it, & they have all had unfavorable results with it.
Sorry to be so negative.
I'm not too fussed though, I bought mine for about $50Au, with box & manuals.
Now on a POSITIVE note, my line 6 DL4 delay modeler, is a dream, it has some of the nicest delay emulations that I have heard.
I have access to a Roland Space Echo, the real one, and the DL4 does one fine job of emulating it, without the tape hiss.
In the small studio that frequent & help to maintain, The Roland Space Echo is used on vocals & guitar, used in moderation, it add real life to the sound.
I took the DL4 down to do an A-B test, & it was really spot on.
The tapes for the Space Echo are expensive here in Australia, & we do tape heads have to be maintained, every so often, for optimumm recording results.
I left the DL4 with the studio for a short time, & they have decided to purchase one, not to mention all the other effects that the DL4 has built in.
It also has a Slow Gear effect & reverse delay.
Just goes to show, that you win some & you loose some.
Regards Dr. Bob  |
