Roland, of course, has a huge and diverse history of producing classic products, from Boss pedals, to era-defining synthesisers and drum machines. One of the company’s earliest releases, however, perhaps doesn’t grab the headlines as much as the Basslines and XOX beats, and that is the Roland RE-201 Space Echo.
This tape-based delay and spring reverb was produced by Roland in the 1970s, and has appeared on countless recordings thanks to a sound that could cover everything from simple saturation to wild, out-of-control and bizarre self-oscillation.
