BOSS RT-2 Rotary Ensemble Pedal – Authentic Rotary Speaker Sounds in a Compact Pedal

The BOSS RT-2 Rotary Ensemble pedal gives you the classic rotary speaker sound heard on so many top record hits. Designed to replicate the complex and expressive sounds of vintage rotary speakers (think Leslie), this compact pedal gives you iconic spinning, movement-driven sound, without the weight and bulk of traditional rotary speaker cabinet. Whether you're a guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, or synth player, the RT-2 Rotary Ensemble pedal lets you add lush, swirling tones to your setup with ease.

The BOSS RT-2 offers three selectable modes to fit any musical style or performance:

Mode I: A faithful reproduction of the iconic rotary speaker sound, offering the classic tone and movement that defines vintage organs and guitar music.
Mode II: An enhanced version of the vintage sound with a wider tonal range, perfect for pairing with overdrives and distortion pedals for extra spatial depth.
Mode III: A modern take, delivering intense modulation and added drive for powerful, present tones that shine through solos and arpeggios.

The RT-2 Rotary Ensemble pedal is powered by BOSS's cutting-edge modeling technology, faithfully recreating the spinning treble rotor (high-frequency horn) and bass rotor (woofer). The RT-2 features real-time rotor speed control, letting you adjust the speed between fast and slow settings for dynamic tonal shifts. Additionally, the Rise/Fall Time switch allows you to adjust the transition time between rotor speeds, letting you tailor the modulation to your performance.

The RT-2 adds a unique visual element to your performance with its built-in rotor display, using lights to indicate the speed of the treble and bass rotors. This makes it easy to see the modulation in action and helps you control the dynamic range of your sound in real time.

Just like classic rotary speakers, the RT-2 features a Drive knob that adds vintage-style tube saturation to the sound, from smooth warmth to gritty distortion. A rear-panel switch allows you to adjust the balance between the treble and bass rotors, giving you full control over your tonal characteristics. Your settings are saved and automatically recalled on the next power-up, so you can pick up right where you left off.

The BOSS RT-2 takes real-time control to the next level. The onboard footswitch provides four operational modes, allowing you to bypass the effect or change rotor speeds while performing. For even more flexibility, you can connect external footswitches for independent speed control or a brake setting to stop the rotors at their current positions for unique, frozen tones. An expression pedal can also be added for continuous control over speed, level, drive, and balance—perfect for dynamic live performances.
