Boss RE-2 Space Echo (and RE-202!)

Post by BearBoy »

There were some unverified leaks over the last week but it looks like Boss are bringing out a compact sized Space Echo:

These were some of the pictures that had leaked via an eBay sale (someone had somehow got hold of 15 of them before Roland's lawyers presumably got in contact):

I has RE-20 and will probably get this to avoid the permapreamp.

I'd be surprised, the upper limit is that the RE-20 was £250 in the end which is way more than I paid for mine back when it came out. I think I paid £125.

Most expensive non Waza is £190. Would be insane charging 200 series prices.

You can still get new RE-20s from a few places (I was thinking of picking one up before they all disappeared but now I think I'll get an RE-2 instead) and they're about £210-£220. I'd be surprised if the RE-2 was as much as that.

Where have you seen that the price is going to be high, Benecol?

Ah, fair enough. Hope it’s not too spendy.

Although I’ll probably get one regardless.

Is there a feature that shows that a post is sarcasm and should not be taking seriously?

Hahahaha

Should have known better than to give them even slight props

Turns out the tonebender thing wasn’t all macaris -or they had a taste and liked it

The pedal business is fucking GRIM
