then more on the second , third and fourth . The Flutter is a quicker subtle pitch change that also happens to tape and adds to the randomness and beauty . By messing with Saturation , Wow & Flutter , Echo Intensity , and EQ , the RE-202 does unique stuff like no other pedal . The Twist function emulates speeding up the tape motor with the delays getting faster and faster . The Warp increases the feedback rate to close to infinite . Twist and Warp are super useful for song endings and special effects , transitions , and even sound design .
MY TAKEAWAY : Both the RE-202 and RE-2 are amazing . Modern guitar employs delays and reverb like never before . The things these pedals do put them into a class of tape emulation pedals all their own . Adding the classic spring and other reverb algorithms is genius . What was great back in 1974 is now even better than ever . I recognized this RE-201 sound listening to guitarists like Steve Lukather . For modern ambient swells , these pedals add an ethereal rhythmic lushness to the sound that I love . Not to mention the weird things you can do with
Twist & Warp . If you are looking for a delay pedal that ’ s different than anything else , you ’ ve got to give the Space Echo a try . I lean toward the RE-202 for studio or a larger pedalboard . For a fly board or more compact board , the RE-2 is perfect . I think you will begin to see these popping up all over the place .
