Hi Jimmy, I have a feeling that position '5' may be the two head effect that you are looking for, but without having it in front of me I'm not 100% - the speed will have a bearing on this too, so you need to slow it down and increase it whilst listening, just plucking a single string to hear the pattern. You also need to keep the feedback off until you have found the pattern that you are seeking.

thanks dave..
i got to fooling around and digging out info from the short manual...and i reset the re-20 to 'long' delay mode....and this is the ticket...as you said, mode selector to 5....repeat rATE to ABOUT 9 or 10 O CLOCK..INTENSITY NOON or 1 oclock.....echo volume 1 o'clock..strum a lick and, bob's your uncle ,it now gets the echo i was looking for...right there..!..nice and very MARVIN...but Boss does not make it easy to find it sounds you want......they make a great unit but so many secrets..!...thanks for help..
