Description
The Boss RT-2 Rotary Ensemble is a compact rotary speaker pedal designed for guitarists, but it's also a solid pick for keyboardists and vocalists after those classic, swirling modulation effects. With three distinct rotary voices onboard, the RT-2 gives you access to everything from authentic vintage rotary speaker sounds to modern, ambient textures. The pedal's dual-axis knobs let you control rotor speed, preamp drive, and the blend between horn and bass rotor. That means you can go from subtle shimmer to full, room-filling swirl, all with intuitive control. It's a versatile box for anyone looking to add spatial depth to their setup.
Practical features include a buffered bypass for signal clarity, external jack options for footswitches and expression pedals, and a Virtual Rotor display for visual feedback. The multi-function pedal switch makes it easy to move between slow and fast rotor speeds, with the Brake function even emulating the natural stop of real rotary speakers. Built to handle stage or studio use, the RT-2 is straightforward to integrate and delivers reliable, inspiring results. We've found it dependable for both traditional rotary tones and experimental modulation, and it's a great fit if you want more dimension from your pedalboard.
