TE-2 Tera Echo - Spacious and Space-ish 

You summed up this pedal the best way possible. Seems a little crazy by itself, but fits perfectly in the mix and never gets in the way. Love it!

Thank you for the lesson about sonics. That was Very educational and made me feel like I’m actually not wasting my life watching all these pedal demos. Great video.

I ordered this right after watching this video, and wanted to share the manual also let’s you know how to make a temporary pad: “If you hold down the pedal switch, the CHECK indicator will blink green and the effect sound will be held as long as you continue holding down the pedal.” It’s really cool!

The channel is class: the delivery, info, tunes, opinions, examples, presentation. Channel is a sleeper to go with the Tera.

The TE-2 is my secret weapon for shoegaze and dreampop....pretty much anything. Pair it with a Keeley Loomer running reverse reverb before the fuzz and it has this amazing wall of sound. Run it dialed way back with a Tube Screamer or OD-3 and it's a subtle effect for blues rock too. It's honestly one if my favorite boxes and I can't see it not being on my board.

You know what? You really deserve big numbers here on YT (and life in general). You look like a really nice guy to me! I really like the stile of your vids m8! Keep going!

This is hands down the best demo I’ve seen on this pedal. You just earned a subscriber!

Tera Echo is one of the most underrated effects. I remember trying it at the local guitar store some years ago and i was like "nah not worth buying". But then i bought the Boss DD-200 with Tera Echo mode and i found myself using it a lot. Huge ambient sounds, a little similar to Earthquaker Afterneath in a way.

Just picked one of these up today. I had my eye on the RE-202, but the 202 is far too much pedal for what I actually need, and the Tera Echo blew me away when I tried it! I love this thing. It gives me all the ambience I need!

Great video brother very informative. I have this effect on my Boss GT-1. I've had it for about three months but never used the Tera Echo effect until earlier today. Man thing effect can be used in about all genres. Keep the videos coming, you are straight to the point, great demonstration abilities, you know the product and you are not boring.

I just dug out my Tera Echo after not messing with it for quite a while. I forgot how awesome it is. It's killer

You look like you are having sooooo much fun with this pedal! These things cost a fortune new, but if you do not need it for gigs, you can pick up a GT-001 secondhand for slightly less than the secondhand price of the Tera Echo, and you get it and most of the rest of Boss's pedals for free including the overtones effect!

This effect is actual done by delaying lower frequencies more than the upper ones. Sort of a time smearing as a function of frequency. I stumbled on the effect by accident goofing around with my arm pedal platform. Found this video to listen to an original one and mine is pretty close. Here is a video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XZNI97Y7DIc.html

I discovered this effect using my MS-3 and use it for soundscapes in my band. I love it

Good video! The TE-2 is def on my radar now.

A pedal that is really hard to pin down, perfectly stated.. But I absolutely love this pedal. Great vid. I too am a pedal nut. Have been purchasing them since the very early '70's. The Big Muff in your background? Have the first , second, and third generations. Luv the Keeley pedals to your right (absolutely bangs for the buck, have them as well). Have most in your background. We probably would drool over each others stash. Great vid. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for this! Sounds quite similar to the "Bubbling" effect on an Electro-Harmonix Attack Decay when the attack is rettriggered as the note rings out... However, the rate slows down more prominently on the Tera Echo. Anyway, such an entertaining demo. Much appreciated!

Great and very insightful review! I'm not sure that I dig that type of effect, but it is certainly cool though still. Keep it up with the great videos!

Love the way your Fender Strat looks

I really like your videos! Please keep doing this.

You had me at "space lazer" ❤

Great reviews. Keep em coming 👍👍

I really dig mine. Such a unique effect!

Love your reviews and your way of delivery.

i love this box as well. i use mine with stereo outs on, well, everything. drum machines, samplers, loops, synths... someday i may even run my guitar through it! (note to self: i always seem to use 'guitar' pedals with pretty much everything except guitars. should probably mention this to a therapist someday.)

Trippiest pedal ever. Mine is coming in the mail today! 🤘🤘🤘

GFI Specular Reverb V3>TE-2>Stereo to 2 amps = *THANK YOU, SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER BRAIN BECAUSE MINE JUST MELTED*

Tera Echo is built into a couple of my Boss multi-pedals. DD-500 has it as well as my GT-1000 core

i love that song where that one singer/songwriter guy uses it for the chorus

Excellent explanation/review!

Oh yeah they've kept it alive elsewhere. The Algorithm is in the Boss DD-200 & 500 which is amazing, but I'm also glad that I have the standalone :)

I have the Boss MS-3 and it has the Terra Echo built in. I dig it. Lots of cool sounds.

Love my Boss TE-2 TERRA ECHO and the rest of my 19 FX pedals from ADawliah Al-Khobar Saudi Arabia

I love mine, I use it with my piano and synths all day,

We got a boss gt1-b which is a multi effects for bass guitar - for my wife . it has the terra in it and wow is it awesome on the bass . we have one patch using the envelope filter in front of the terra , and after the terra is the reverb which we have set to a dotted 8th delay . if you play the envelope filter, meaning play quietly and keep the filter closed but then open it up by accenting a single note ... its really something . not for every one of course but we worked the terra echo effect in to a set of 14 originals and its all over those 14 patches , if you set it more subtly , with the ducking it doesnt completely dominate like delay usually does . very cool .

Thank you for the synth demo

Dude that rack unit cutaway brought back some feelings…

I'm running a two-timer into a Behringer dual phase... I'm getting those sounds easily😁🎸🇬🇧boss space echo...fabulous👍

Really cool and great demo. I feel like there's a phaser/flanger lurking in there too.

Use this in most of my clean/modulated patches on GT--001. Excellent.

Great review. Thanks.

Nice piece, indeed.

It sounds as a Phaser, Delay, Reverb with a little modulation

This is my next pedal. I stumbled across the circuit in the GT-1 that I’ve been recording with & have used it a bit on some things. I gotta put-one on the board now.

I found this video because the Gt-1B bass processor has this effect. Not sure if it’s in the guitar version but I’m pretty excited now

What a great pedal! I have one. I like turning to tone knob really low and with longer feedback and holding the infinite feature on. It kind of reminds me of EQDs Afterneath pedal in a lot of ways. Both are real interesting echos that borderline into reverb.

Great review, just bought one...

I think I might have to give this a go soon!

Keep making videos🤩Some of us like our Rabbit-Hole A.R.T. DXR Delay🤪🐰Nevertheless you made a valiant effort and did explain the out in the open delay Boss made with the overtone squishy unnecessary sound from remnant echo constipation The Boss Distortion MDP was great Thanks🙀🤩📡🫵

I actually used the Tera Echo on my Boss ME 80 multi effects pedal board. When you mess with the time, it creates this Tom Scholz like hyperspace sound. I wonder if there’s a way to modify it with an expression pedal so I can do that without having to turn the knob.

Great review!!

Noticed you didn’t mention the “hold down pedal” looper/ freeze note part of the effect. Nicely done overall. Just might be worth updating your vid. Peace.

I noticed no one has mentioned holding down the pedal, you get this loopy, atmospheric sound that you can play over. What I think it does is hold the last signal that went through it then loops it for as long as you hold the pedal down. Even crazier, I read the manual for it recently and learned this. Mind you, I got this pedal when it first came out! This is why you RTM (read the manual), lol.

The Boss GT-100 multieffect unit has this effect as well. As you say, very usable, the repetitions never get in the way

Great video and great pedal. Thank you for sharing. New subscriber

After hitting a chord and promptly keeping the pedal pressed down it will freezes/hold a chord for it to be solo over. Keep the all settings in the middle to do this. Try it. You'll have fun. 🤘

Luv it! Subscribed!

I have a few of these, no idea why I can't stop buying them.

How do we feel about this pedal compared to the Catalinbread Soft Focus? I know these two aren’t exactly the same, but seem to cover a somewhat similar niche.

great video!

can this pedal make the sounds of a normal or more common reverb setting also? thanks

A legend, i want this pedal,, 100th boss one,,, thé série is insane,: adaptive distorsion, multi overtone, tera écho,,, wahou

Oh my God, I totally had that double space rack SGX 2000 unit.

It s great to try it on synth.thznks

Nice review - but you could have been a little bit more generous with more sound examples. Also: the combination with other fx pedals would be interesting. Maybe you'll spend a "Part II" ? 😉👍👍

I like the 80s Jan Hammer Miami Vice sound, is this the best choice or anyone have a better choice?

The true secret of this pedal is to combine it with the mo-2 infront in stereo. Kill dry both and tone all the way down both. give them just a tiny bit detune and feedback. Thank me later. For advanced use install a cv mod on the s-time on the te-2 and rock it with a exp pedal

I miss King of Queens

Hi dude! I really like the ethereal tones this pedal can produce but I don't like the ducking sounds. Is any configuration to avoid them? Help me please! Of you depend if I'm buying the pedal or not. Haha! A big hug from Mendoza, Argentina!

I got a DD 200 so I could have the TE as well. Still haven’t used it for anything yet. But it’s just a matter of time.

Wondering if the Boss Tera Echo pedal and the right delay pedal can get the Andy Timmons / Keeley HALO pedal effect or close to it...?

I own one of these and I can't figure out the freeze function. it's supposed to freeze what sound or chord you play when you hold down the pedal until the green LED comes on? Well I've done that and see the green LED but it doesnt sound like it's freezing that sound.

Yeah....I want it

Should have ran it into some drive/distortion. To hear more of its potential.

This pedal makes the sound from the "Star Hill" in super Mario RPG ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_6jDv3ho4GM.html

It’s in my GT100.

Its great with synths

I own an ME-80 which has a tera-echo setting. At first I had no idea how to use it, than I thought "why not just use it for leads" and I liked what it did.... however, I still find the traditional analog delay to sound best on a lead guitar. BUT, there was one song I covered where the Tera Echo killed it - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hezp0rHrf-M.html .

The dd 200 has this pedal in it basically

Kinda want to try this with a synthesizer

if you dig the tera check out shift line a+ astronaut reverb

Hi, what was the synth that you used ?

🤘👍🏿

be cool to hear it in context with his band.

Great demo… but you missed the freeze function !

Looks like you forgot to mention the (very nice) hold function. But good demo !

You get your hands on the slicer yet bud?

Hold function?

Great pedal!...if only boss pedals had a buffer that you can switch OFF

They had three pedals in the series

Just try one :)

I still don't like Boss Films, I won't change my mindset for those cheaper fittings...

Dammit, I play rhythm guitar in a punk band. I do NOT need this pedal, or the Multi Overtone. No, I do NOT need them, no, must… resist… must… not… spend… more… money… on… pedals… I don’t need…. aaarrrggluugggckk…

whats with the discount JHS set

отстойная педаль!

Sounds pretty useless to me, who on earth is going to gig onstage making a useless noise like that ? We wouldn't want our audience walking out
