BOSS RE-2 Space Echo

Input/Output Specifications:

• Nominal Input Level: -20 dBu (standard line-level input).
• Maximum Input Level: +7 dBu (maximum acceptable signal level before distortion or clipping).
• Input Impedance: 1 M ohm (high impedance, suitable for instruments like guitars or basses).
• Nominal Output Level: -20 dBu (standard output level).
• Maximum Output Level: +7 dBu (maximum acceptable output before clipping).
• Output Impedance: 1 k ohm (standard for line-level outputs).
• Recommended Load Impedance: 10 k ohms or greater (for proper signal transfer and compatibility).

Bypass:

• Buffered Bypass: Ensures that the signal is preserved and not degraded when the pedal is turned off, allowing for better tone integrity.

Controls:

• MODE Knob: Switch between different delay modes or effect types, potentially offering a variety of delay sounds (e.g., analog, digital, etc.).
• REPEAT RATE Knob: Adjusts the speed or rate of the delay repetitions, affecting how fast the echo repeats occur.
• WOW & FLUTTER Knob: Likely adds a modulation effect to the delay, simulating the pitch variation found in analog tape delays.
• INTENSITY Knob: Controls the depth or strength of the delay effect, impacting how pronounced the echo is.
• TONE Knob: Adjusts the tonal quality of the delayed sound, potentially controlling high or low-frequency emphasis.
• ECHO Knob: Likely adjusts the level of the delay effect in the overall mix, balancing it with the dry signal.
• REVERB Knob: Adds reverb to the signal, further enhancing the spatial effect of the sound.
• CARRYOVER Switch: Likely controls whether the delay continues to sound after the pedal is bypassed, useful for creating smooth transitions in live performance.

Indicator:

• CHECK Indicator: Lights up when the battery is low or when the pedal is in need of maintenance, ensuring you don’t run out of power unexpectedly.

Connectors:

• INPUT A (MONO) and INPUT B Jack: 1/4-inch phone type jacks for connecting your instrument or audio source.
• OUTPUT A (MONO) and OUTPUT B Jack: 1/4-inch phone type jacks for sending the processed signal to an amplifier or additional effects.
• CTL/EXP Jack: 1/4-inch TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) jack for connecting a footswitch or expression pedal (sold separately), allowing for additional control over the effects in real-time.
• DC IN Jack: For connecting an external AC power adapter (PSA series, sold separately).

Power Supply:

• Battery: Alkaline 9V battery (6LR61).
• AC Adaptor: PSA series (sold separately).
• Current Draw: 75 mA (moderate current consumption).
