hmm...nice heads up with the multivox. do you know how the mini echo sounds?

jbuehler · 5th May 2008, 02:57 AM

You guys all sound like you are obsessed with tape echo.

Forget the obsession, nobody wanted that Roland until Radiohead used it anyway!

tstu102 · 5th May 2008, 03:00 AM

no way, it doesn't have anything to do with radiohead...How about original reggae dub..Anyways I've been obsessed since the first time I used one in real life.

I've had my Multivox for almost 30 years. I've had a ton of digital effects boxes come and go in that time.

i don't think I understand either of the two above posts. and i'm not on drugs today

dylansmale · 5th May 2008, 04:20 AM

i was just saying that i was right and that you were wrong.

tstu102 · 5th May 2008, 04:33 AM

tstu102 · 5th May 2008, 04:37 AM

really? i was thinking of getting one. One person said there's some notorious clicking problem with them and the other rumor I've heard is that the sound is "too clean" but both of those sound hilarious and untrustworthy...

tstu102 · 5th May 2008, 04:39 AM

i don't know what that means either

dylansmale · 5th May 2008, 07:14 AM

oh, i get it. yeah, your definitely right. I was not in gear. sorry if it seemed I was an ass.

We have a real RE- 201 andwe also had a mint RE-150 we sold a few month ago, we have a Binson echorec II and a Watkins Copycat....So I now the tape echoes and analog delays pretty well :) But since we got the UA RE-201, we are using the old box less and less. I don't say that the original has no value anymore, it's a great tool and really inspiring, it's good to tweak it and track something through it but as a mixing tool, the UA RE-201 is better. Soundwise, I have no problem using the plugin instead of the original. UA really nailed it (same for the CE-1 and Dimension D)

I don't know if he got scared or embarrassed or what. I am going to try once more to contact him today. I can't imagine he'll just sit on it! Maybe I should scan eBay.

I have never played through an original RE-201, so I don't have a real frame of reference (other than what I have heard on other's recordings), but I own both the BOSS pedal and the UAD plugin and really like both of them; I don't think your average listener would be able to tell the difference between these and the original.

People used to use plugins and fond of RE-201 must try this 19€ plugin.

GS201 VST from Guido Sconamiglio: SoundFonts.it

I bought it in promo for 14€ ^^
Great tool, sounds good, if someone can compare with the UAD's one i 'd be curious since i did not receive my UAD yet.

Looks cool. Like I mentioned, I have the UAd and the BOSS COSM stomp...I think I'll compare them just for fun. I've always been very, very deeply impressed with the UAD version and really was not expecting to care for the BOSS pedal...but, after playing with the pedal in the store for 10 minutes, I scooped it up. I actually used it on an aux sent bus insert the other night (the pedal). It has a direct/non-direct switch that allows you to go 100% wet! sounds awesome...still want a real one, though and am deeply saddened that this seller was such a flake!
