I will always own one of these RE-20's. I have been using Roland Tape Echos as far back as 1977. Fooie on the Critics.... I LOVE the sounds I get with this little gem. PLUS... No more expense and hassle of Tape. No more crackly/noisy worn out parts. As for sound and performance quality, i'll say this. I own a Pod X3 (Has Great Sounding Space Echo Model) and several other Echos, all of which I use. RE-20 has Best Sound, Best knob layout, Most Versatility, Best ease of use while Playing. My personal favorite. Thank You Roland for giving us back that Haunting, Dark Etherial Led Zeppelin Lead Guitar Sound of "You Shook Me" & "Dazed & Confused" !! Excellent product, Solid as a Rock.

It does what it's suppose to do

I have the Boss DD-20. That is my delay pedal. I consider the RE-20 a 'special effects' pedal. You get space echo in all kinds of variations. Very tweakable. It's not a synth. It's not a go-to delay. You know how Steppenwolf's 'Magic Carpet Ride' begins? That's what this pedal does.

With the intensity knob it doesn't take much to alter feedback. It can get damn noisy if you go too far. Slight adjustments to get it just right does the trick just fine.

I like this more hooking it up to my keyboards. I'm happy with this purchase.

RE-20 Review

I bought this because I love echo and delay. I have a memory man, a Boss DL-20 giga delay, and I love the delay on my Me-50. I thought I would buy this just "to have", maybe a total different sound... Returned it! Wasn't worth the time or price.

I have not had the opportunity to use the real thing, but nonetheless this thing breathes life into my modular synthesizer! It sounds amazing and I have no regrets whatsoever buying it.

Killer old school psychodellic sound

Posted by Higgins1980 from Virginia, USA on Feb 6, 2008

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Amature/hobbyist

Reviewer's Play Style: Improvisational, bluegrass, psychodellic rock

I just got one of these pedals, and though the price tag is a bit high, it's built like a tank and has that really nice retro tape echo sound just like the original. Great for making trippy noise, as well as adding that great Roland echo. Even has the analog tape flutter and sound deterioration if the echo plays too long. As a Pink Floyd fan I can finally get the spacy sound that made them what they were. Expensive, but worth it if you got the ducketts.
