I keep meaning to try an EP booster after mine.

Just spotted this today. Nux obviosuly hurt that Boss have finally released a competior to the might Tape core.

„Kill Fry“. What’s that?! A suicide booth?

Looks promising. There’s gonna be so many of comparison videos. I bet nobody will think of turning the rate knob in a single one of them though.

I wonder if that's bad timing of Nux's part, or an aggressive competitive strategy

Was wondering that too. But they must’ve been developing this for some time now, so my guess is they didn’t know about the RE-2.

I was too but then i found out how much more expensive it was than the smaller original- which has most the features available via USB and preset. I.e. yes its a BIT stupid expensive.

I was pretty underwhelmed with that other NUX Tape Delay pedal, and part of that was because I can't stand pedals that have one switch for on/off and tap tempo (I didn't like the Digitech Obscura either).

Having two switches makes this NUX one interesting, but I still really really want that Boss one (as it has an external tap tempo option... right???)

Sweet Baby Jesus!

Didn’t know the RE-202 was also in the pipeline! Very interesting.

The 202 is gonna be my jam. I love that it isn’t just a guitar pedal and I can use it as an outboard studio tool. Fantastic.

I found a demo that lets you hear the pedal without having to stomach the typical side dish of wanker. (Sorry, I’m just kind of over most guitar gear demos.)
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

I think I'll keep mine on top of my home amp for hand-noodling.

I actually sold my RE-201 to someone who came to my house to buy something else (and make a ridiculous amount of profit thanks to the crazy deal I got buying it) so I had the money for these sat waiting. The compact is perfect for pedalboards but I will miss the big knobs so couldn't resist the 202

Yep, the 202 looks awesome. Great features, and simple to use.

Love the fact they’ve added a fourth tape head - takes it into echorec territory.
