Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the BOSS RE-20 Space Echo. 

 

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” 
and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (separate sheet). 
These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. 
Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good understanding of every 
feature provided by your new unit, this manual should be read in its entirety. The manual 
should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference. 

 

Main Features

 

 

The RE-20 uses COSM technology to faithfully simulate the characteristics of the famed 
Roland SPACE ECHO RE-201.

 

 

Faithfully reproduces the characteristics of the RE-201, including the echo’s distinctive wow- 
and flutter-induced wavering and the compressed sound obtained with magnetic saturation.

 

 

The Mode Selector carries on the tradition of the RE-201, offering twelve different 
reverberation effects through various combinations of the three playback heads and reverb.

 

 

You can set delay times with the TAP input pedal and use an expression pedal (

sold 

separately

) for controlling parameters.

 

 

Equipped with a “Virtual Tape Display,” which produces a visual image of a running tape.

 

About COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling)

 

Composite Object Sound Modeling—or “COSM” for short—is 
BOSS/Roland’s innovative and powerful technology that’s used 
to digitally recreate the sound of classic musical instruments and 
effects. COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the original 
sound—including its electrical and physical characteristics—and 
creates a digital model that accurately reproduces the original.
