The RE-20 vs The Mystery Brain vs The RE-301

[@theteledynes]

A little correction. Here is a link to the photos that are supposed to be the in video for the sleepwalk settings on the re-20 and mystery brain. kzbin.infoUgkxIbNxrQGEyIXppwj84OcP1d24l-LGQIy1

The RE-301 has a sweetness to my ears. It sounds nice and musical whereas the other two pedals are harsher.

[@zeo5008]

Honestly, they all do the job and sound good.

Great video, thanks!

[@theteledynes]

You’re welcome, thank you!

Myself I always end up going back to the 301. That said I have the RE-20 as well and can’t fault it for the money. In the hands of someone like yourself you can make them all sing. Mere mortals like myself need all the help I can get hence bring on the 301. Great video

[@theteledynes]

Thanks Richard, yeah I’m addicted to the 301 these days. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!

The Roland unit has a warmth that's a little more pleasing to the ear than the other units, but they all do the job nicely.

Great video, how are your settings for sleepwalk?

[@theteledynes]

Thanks. The photos of the pedals that are in the video are the settings that I used for each tune. Cheers!

[@theteledynes]

Thanks! The photos of the pedals in the video show the settings I used for each tune. Cheers!

Interesting - but curious why you didn’t include the pre-amp of the Mystery Brain (I didn’t see the light on), as it’s part of the “secret sauce” that Setzer uses through his 301? Also, you can get a mild chorusing effect through the manipulation of the speed and depth knobs? Great video!

[@theteledynes]

Thanks for the comment. Yeah in the photo I put up It looks like the light isn't on, but it was. The light I used to take the photo was a little too bright and kinda washed away the preamp light from showing up. You can see the faintest of purple if you really zoom in lol. Yeah you can kinda can get that chorus effect, if applied too much it sounds like tape drag, especially on a slower delay setting like the 'sleepwalk' setting. That's why I end up just shutting it off if I play that tune or anything else with a slower delay. Thanks again, Cheers!

I struggle to understand how to get a rockabilly sound. I like the re-20 from this demo, but it looks like it is not made anymore. Do I need a particular amp also and a Gretsch guitar? Any help is appreciated

[@theteledynes]

You might be able to get one on eBay for reverb. They do make the RE-202 which is basically the same thing with a few more bells and whistles. I think you can get a good Rockabilly sound with any kind of tube amp. I like Gretsch, but Telecasters work nice too. Thanks again.

[@DaveBorrell]

Nice compression with the 301. I gues it's due to the tape?

[@theteledynes]

Yeah the tape really evens things out a bit and adds a bit more “warmth” in my opinion. Thanks for the comment!

[@Meditech509]

What are your thoughts on RE 202?

[@theteledynes]

I’ve never played through it but from what I understand it’s basically the same with some tweaks that make closer to the original 201 i.e. tape flutter, better decay a 4th play head setting. But it still doesn’t have the pre amp chip from the 301.

[@Meditech509]

Does a preamp make a big difference? ​@@theteledynes

[@FandeDS]

hello my friend, superb video thank you.. would you have the parameter on the re 20 boss to play sleepwak.., I saw there is only one parameter to play all the different songs thank you my friend

[@theteledynes]

Hi, I made a post showing the right settings for sleepwalk. Here are the photos that are supposed to be in the video. Here is the link: kzbin.infoUgkxIbNxrQGEyIXppwj84OcP1d24l-LGQIy1

[@FandeDS]

that's really very nice of you@@theteledynes renata ...... for all the other brian setzer songs that you play the settings are the ones seen in the video? (the settings do not change for any other song except spleewak

[@alvaromartinezmariezkurren5766]

Hi,for the RE-20 slapback sound...the Mode selector is at the 1 or 2 repeat mode?

[@theteledynes]

For the Rockabilly setting I set it to 2. That seems to work the best. Thanks!

[@gizmotis]

ok I'll take the 301, please. I don't need a bag.

[@theteledynes]

lol!

[@hanssprengers]

The RE-301 comes out as far the best and the mystery brain sound very harsh to me.
