«  A killer! »

Published on 07/25/13 at 02:10
I do not go over the features, everything has already been said!

Too bad she is not a midi but good decision ...

UTILIZATION

First ultra intuitive (if you know the minimum operating principle of tape echo chamber)
Sub settings are accessible after it is working on sheet (no digital display) ...

French manual found on audiof '(thank you "nowhereman"!)

I found all the possibilities for my RE201 Space Echo, without the disadvantages (fragility due to his age), and Tap Tempo and more!

SOUND QUALITY

Tip top, nothing to add!

Used with guitar, bass and contrabass

Not a fart breath, many settings allow to go from bright and clean and a good crados strongly modulated the delay.

I find again the sound of my old Space Echo!

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought it, having had and / or tested:

-Roland Space Echo RE20 1978 (see above)
-Ibanez DE7 (Delay my first, it's still my favorite curiously after Strymon of course)
-Line6 Echo Park (although for very electric guitarist)
Tc Electronic Vintage Delay (very neat and some possible settings)
Tc Electronic Flashback (well, but no tap tempo)
-MXR Carbon Copy (ditto)
-Boss DD20 (very digital, and bulky)

I have wanted to test:

Empress-Tape Delay (equivalent to Strymon enough in advance)
-Eventide Time Factor (gas plant)
-Boss RE20 (bulky in the pedal)

but I wanted to stay on the analog spirit ', without programming, with everything at hand to play the knob in Live ...

I think I have finally found the Holy Grail!! (At least compared to what I was looking for)
