RT-2 Rotary Ensemble Pedal

Boss RT-2

Take a turn towards vintage modulation magic with the RT-2 Rotary Ensemble from BOSS, a compact source for authentic rotary speaker sounds that brings rich rotary emulation to any rig. In a conveniently compact pedal design, RT-2 gives you access to a wide range of rotary sounds and behaviors, with three modes that explore this classic effect in depth. Mode one offers a faithful recreation of the most beloved rotary designs in musical history, while Mode two captures a more decidedly vintage feel. Mode three brings a modern enhancement and edge to this classic effect, with increased presence through generous drive and modulation settings.

In either mode, two dual potentiometers provide compact controls for level, drive, and both fast and slow rotary speeds. At the center of the pedal controls is a virtual rotor display that dances around to indicate treble and bass rotor speeds, providing useful visual feedback that looks great on any board. Using the Speed footswitch input, you can connect up to two external switches for a variety of control options. Access fast and slow speeds directly, and use the brake feature to expressively intervene on speaker rotation. Four pedal modes let you customize your access to these features and bypass the pedal how you'd like, while switches on the back panel alter drive knob behavior and set the transition time between speed modes. Whether you're capturing the nostalgic magic of vintage blues tones or forging a path into new sonic territories, the BOSS RT-2 Rotary Ensemble is a captivating effect for any pedalboard or synth rig.
