This is the audio from our video here:  How about the smaller companies for a change? Here are five brands we believe you should check out! Contrary to folklore, Dan and I don’t spend our entire lives trying out new pedals. That means there are a whole plethora of smaller brands and makers out there about whom we know very little. This is a format we’re trying out in order to address that, featuring five makers who we think deserve more attention. Yes, you may well be intimately knowledgable about their wares, but not everyone will. You get the idea… The five we have chose are listen below – enjoy the show!

This is the audio from our video here: https://youtu.be/xS2ZWpLxkzQ   We compare an original Roland RE-201 Space Echo with the RE-20 pedal, Strymon Volante and EchoFix EF-X2. Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below. Welcome to the episode. A little while back, Dan and I did a video on single-head tape delays based on our love of the Echoplex sound. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/iDdK8QMcF2I Now it’s the turn of the multi-head tape machine, specifically the classic Roland RE-201 Space Echo that debuted all the way back in 1974. We have some simple questions… How much does the old, analogue RE-201 sound like the ‘new’ RE-20 digital pedal? What about the EchoFix and the Strymon Volante? Can Dan put together a Heath-Robinson pedalboard that simulates what a multi-head tape delay does? Let’s do this – enjoy the episode!
