Excellent review. I have one of the R-202's on pre-order and can't wait for it to come in. I will build a bigger board if I have to, but by removing my Collider I think it will be just fine. Thank you for such an informative explanation of features.
Great video! I'm already looking for room on my board as well! Side note: "wow and flutter" is actually just a side effect from variations in a machine's read and write speed. Not from the "snaking" tape in the return chamber. Nothing is recorded or read in there. That is simply a clever method to lengthen the tape loop, and prevent damage or tangling as it moves through the unit. It does look cool though!
The RE-202 looks great, sounds great and it’s the only boss pedal that has actually excited me in many years. I hope they keep up with this retro type aesthetic in other effects as it’s great.
@@adamnesbitt11 I actually did just this! Got the RE-202 and returned it pretty quick, wasn't for me, no matter how much I wanted to love it. Thanks for the heads up :)
Just a little history nit-pick.. I think to be true there were other companies making tape echo before Roland - Watkins in UK, KLEMT 'Echolette' units in Germany, Echoplex (USA?), etc ... but Roland Space Echo was obviously a massive hit, and added the reverb to the same size package too. Can't wait to try the new pedal version!
The spring sounds good to me, does it ‘drip’? I’ve got the re-20, it has a boring reverb… Does the 202 has a master / input volume? I use this on the re-20 as a attenuator like thing. Great review by the way!
The Re-reissues are great for live stuff but I was sad to see they went the "clean and sterile" DSP route, unlike the EP-3 clone MXR did that allowed for dirt, wear and grit (which sounds killer in the studio). The RE-20 self oscillation is spot on though, love that! I made a quick video about theem here if interested: ruclips.net/video/RFNa6cqx5ps/видео.html
@@adamnesbitt11 Yes, I meant DSP not BBD. I do think the pedal is a bit sterile imho. Especially compared to the real deal it is trying to emulate. Thanks Adam

Dead Kennedys🎉❤ great review!!

You sold me after mentioning East Bay Ray!

CE-1 maybe by the looks of the enclosure...
Very nicely done. Quick Q: does the tempo sync to MIDI clock if its present at the MIDI IN jack? Thanks...
Yo with those repeats I can finally get that wild King Gizzard sound I’ve been trying to get
They literally just use a DD-3, save yourself £200 mate

Awesome video!
Sounds really good. Nice demo

Nice and honest review.
F&^k why do they have to make so many awesome pedals

The re2 does NOT drip
@@toddlogan9023 does the 202 drip?
Sounds glorious Bob \o/
god these are great pedals!
im guessing them share the same chip etc.!!
Wondering the same thing!
Tape age sounds like a minor eq tweak
Best demo😀
This retailer sells ALOT of high end guitar amps. It's shame that you've not demo'd them and even done so LIVE.
Muito bom!

These are digital pedals, there are no BBDs. BBD delays are also the opposite of clean and sterile.

Boss borrowing a page from Behringer..... Announce product you can't have for months, you can't even place an order on the website.
Aw gee sus STOP YAPPIN !
Hey mate... you need to get out and do some real physical work.
