ECHOES OF 1974.
The mid-70s were an exciting time for music performance and production

Artists began to focus more on sonics and experimented with emerging technologies to harness new sounds

Tape-based echoes were the first delays available and were developed as early as the 1940s

But a few decades later, contemporary engineering would make them more feasible for widespread use

Enter the Roland RE-201 Space Echo.

PULSE

WARP

COLLAPSE

REPEAT.
The original RE-201 was one of the premier tape echo units of its era, remaining in continuous production until the late 1980s

Its three evenly spaced heads produced a wider range of echo effects than typical single-head designs, while an innovative free-running tape system provided superior performance with minimal tape wear

A spring reverb was also built in, making it a one-stop-shop for all things ambient

Grab-and-go controls enabled quick access to single delays, different head combinations, and cool real-time effects like glitchy pitch shifts and intense self-oscillation.

AN AUTHENTIC ROLAND ORIGINAL - NOW IN YOUR DAW.
The RE-201 is a complex hardware effect, from the preamp design to the unique multi-head tape mechanism and integrated spring reverb

Using the latest modeling technologies and exhaustive analysis of several vintage RE-201s - including a pristine original unit from the Roland factory archive - the RE-201 Space Echo plug-in brings the authentic Space Echo experience to life like no other plug-in can.

Every element and interaction must be faithfully replicated to accurately convey its unique analog vibe

As the makers of the original, weve leveraged decades of research to deliver a complete recreation straight to your studio

Our engineers have fully reproduced everything contributing to the RE-201s immortal character, including the tape path, record/playback mechanism, motor variations, preamp coloration, tape age, and more.

ENJOY THE TRIP.
The RE-201s versatile delays and spring reverb instantly infuse any source with rich, retro character

You can use the delay and reverb independently or combine them for extra-spacious sounds, while the ample front-panel controls let you easily shape your sound for extra expression

Regardless of how you use it, the RE-201 will take your tracks to new and unexplored territories.

SOUNDS GREAT WITH EVERYTHING.
You might be surprised just how versatile the Space Echo sound can be

It brings life and movement to keys, guitars, drums, vocals, and more

From subtle to dreamy to utterly bizarre, this coveted effect has been heard on thousands of tracks over the decades and remains the secret weapon of a legion of producers

Its instantly gratifying but also rewards deeper exploration.

WOW

AND FLUTTER.
Different RE-201 units exhibit unique sonic characteristics depending on their age, tape life, and how well theyve been maintained

Our plug-in offers controls for adjusting the overall condition, tape wow and flutter, and even the motor torque, letting you dial in everything from a brand-new Space Echo to an aging unit dripping with vintage personality.

INSTANT GRATIFICATION.
While you can easily dial in your own delay and reverb sounds, the RE-201 plug-in features a wealth of expertly crafted presets to add dimension to any source

There are presets designed for channel inserts and all-wet versions for effect returns, allowing you to apply the Space Echo sound to single tracks or multiple instruments at once.

COLORFUL SATURATION.
Key factors in the RE-201s unique and pleasing character are modeled with remarkable realism

The inherent sound of the tape saturation and the warm, velvety tones of the integrated preamp are worth the price of admission alone

Additionally, the plug-in replicates the three inputs and volume knobs of the original hardware

By selecting an input and virtually overloading the classic 70s transistor design, you can imbue the echo tones with everything from warm overdrive to all-out distortion.

INCREASE THE INTENSITY.
A well-loved signature sound of the RE-201 is a result of the use - or abuse - of the onboard controls

By cranking the intensity and manipulating the delay rate and saturation levels in real time, you can create bizarre, runaway effects that take sounds from mild to wild

Youve been warned.

MUSICAL ICONS.
The RE-201 has found its way into diverse musical genres, including dub, trip hop, alternative, punk, rockabilly, and more

Its been used by an array of iconic artists, including dub pioneers Lee “Scratch” Perry and King Tubby, who made use of the units unique feedback and saturation qualities

The Space Echo became a major feature of Portishead recordings and is responsible for everything from the dreamy ambiance of Vini Reillys Durutti Column records to the mangled, feedback-induced loops of Radiohead.
