Operating the RE-20

Control Using an Expression Pedal

You can control the following functions with an expression pedal (Roland EV-5; sold
separately) connected to the EXP PEDAL jack on the rear panel.
REPEAT RATE:
INTENSITY:
ECHO LEVEL:
TWIST:
The Repeat Rate and Intensity are set to the minimum value when the heel of the pedal
is pressed down; when you press firmly on the toe of the pedal, the value changes to
the value that's been set with the knob.
With the twist effect, the value that's been set with the knob is obtained when the heel
of the pedal is pressed down; when you press firmly on the toe of the pedal, the value
changes to the maximum value.
* Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-5; sold separately). By connecting any other
expression pedals, you risk causing the unit to malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

The echo interval becomes shorter as the toe of the expression
pedal is pressed further.
In Long mode, the range for the Repeat Rate setting is twice that of
Normal mode.
The Intensity increases as the toe of the expression pedal is pressed
further, increasing the volume of the echo repeat sound (the
feedback volume).
This controls the level input to the echo. The volume of the echo
sounds increases as the toe of the expression pedal is pressed further.
* This function can be controlled only with an expression pedal.
* The input level to the reverb is not changed.
Repeat Rate and Intensity are controlled simultaneously.
In addition, this controls the ECHO VOLUME according to the
echo level.
As you further press down on the toe of the expression pedal, the
echo sound starts to oscillate, then the oscillation rate increases
and the pitch of the oscillation sound rises.
