Roland RE-201 Space Echo is the only effect that Noel used on Oasis’ debut album, Definetely Maybe. Accoding to Noel, it played a huge role in shaping his sound, next to his Marshall Model 8080, and a WEM Dominator.
We never messed with [effects] really. It would be way down the line that I got a pedalboard. The only pedal I used was the Space Echo, and I had this on/off switch to kick the delay in. And that was it.
Space Echo was a big part of the sound. We would go into the front of the Space Echo, and just turned the the preamp up full.
