A Masterpiece Reimagined for Modern Times

Released in 1974, the Roland RE-201 Space Echo stands among the most legendary and sought-after effects in music history. This magnetic tape classic remained in production for 14 years, and its rhythmic echoes, warmth, and musical quirks have inspired musicians and engineers for over four decades.

Through intensive research and cutting-edge innovation, the RE-202 faithfully recreates the authentic sound and behavior of the Space Echo. Built by the original brand, it captures every detail — tape transport, motor characteristics, spring reverb, and colored preamp circuit — while adding modern enhancements for today’s players.

The Magic of Tape Echo

Tape echo was the first delay effect in audio history. Unlike modern digital processors, it uses a motor-driven magnetic tape system, producing warmth, saturation, compression, and evolving modulation from wow, flutter, and mechanical variation.

Space Echo RE-201: Simply Legendary

Three playback heads enabled dense rhythmic echoes. A free-running tape system minimized wear. Built-in spring reverb and an analog preamp shaped its iconic sound.

The Rebirth of a Masterpiece

Analyzed from multiple vintage units — including Roland/BOSS archives — the RE-202 replicates nonlinear behaviors, tape path, motor fluctuation, preamp coloration, and spring reverb response with newly developed algorithms.

Retro Sounds at Your Fingertips

All original controls remain, including the 12-position selector. Authentic pitch shifts via Repeat Rate and runaway feedback via Intensity are faithfully recreated. Saturation and Wow & Flutter controls emulate tape compression and modulation.

Le meilleur endroit si vous cherchez une bass/guitare Fender custom shop. J’ai découvert Gérald Musique via Reverb et acheter une Jazz Bass custom shop. Le service a été super. J’ai commandée une deuxième bass Fender Custom
Shop auprès de David et son équipe. Ils ont été très serviables et m’ont répondu et placé ma commande chez Fender en moins de 24hr. Les délais de livraison était de 12 à 14 mois, mes commande a été remplit 6 mois plus tôt que prévue. La communication aussi a été excellente.

Super service et super inventaire de produits Fender Custom shop en stock. Je recommande fortement Gérald Musique si vous considérez acheter une Fender Custom Shop.

This place rocks! I was looking for a very specific guitar all across Canada and I found it in this gem of a shop located in Quebec. The people I dealt with there, namely Eric, were absolutely amazing. Very accommodating and helpful. I would buy from here again in a heartbeat. The guitar arrived in Victoria on time, quickly, very well packaged and I'm not even kidding when I say it was perfectly in tune out of the case and beautifully set up. I don't think that's ever happened in all my years of buying instruments. Thank you to Gérald Musique!

I recently purchased a digital piano from Gerald Musique and I am writing this review because I was completely amazed by their exceptional customer service. The purchase was smooth and the delivery experience was amazing. I received excellent communication regarding delivery options, dates and times. Delivery was prompt and professional. I would highly recommend Gerald Musique and will share my experience many times because it was just that good. Well done Gerald Musique, you are awesome.

Belle boutique d'instruments de musique, matériel récent en stock. Très belle sélection de guitares (particulièrement les acoustiques et semi-acoustiques). J'ai acheté une guitare Gretsch. Le prix était plus bas que toutes les autres boutiques en ligne au Canada! À la livraison le propriétaire a pris le temps de me montrer des modèles similaires et quelques trésors de sa collection. Une belle expérience d'achat.

I took a chance buying a guitar online from this shop and it's by far the best guitar I own. Made in Canada beauty, the Godin Session 59T. The price was incredible as well as they took a very reasonable offer. Everything about the guitar was perfect including the carrying case it came in. Absolutely no complaints and I would love to buy from this shop again.
