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.
