The Roland RE-201 Space Echo is a tape echo effect unit featuring a built-in spring reverb tank. Manufactured from 1973 to 1988, the RE-201 runs a loop of magnetic tape across several tape heads to create its distinctive analog echo. It features 11 different repeat modes as well as a reverb-only mode, wet/dry mix for Echo and Reverb, Bass and Treble EQ knobs, Repeat Rate and Intensity, two mic inputs with volume knobs, one instrument input with volume knob, and dry and effected output jacks.

- Present are the three standard controls we’ve come to expect on delay units: delay time (Repeat Rate), effectively a tape speed control; delay feedback (Intensity); and delay volume (Echo Volume).
- The Roland RE-201 Space Echo features 12 modes, each selectable via a 12-position rotary knob. Labelled Repeat (without reverb), modes 1 to 3 engage tape heads 1 to 3 respectively, while mode 4 enables heads 2 and 3.
- Labelled Reverb Echo, modes 5 to 11 offer the full range of tape head combinations along with reverb. These options include single head (1, 2 or 3), dual head (1 & 2, 2 & 3 or 1 & 3), and triple head (1, 2 & 3) operation. The 12th mode is labelled Reverb Only.
