Boss RT-2 Rotary Ensemble

The Boss RT-2 Rotary Ensemble: Advanced Rotary Speaker Simulation with Studio-Quality Flexibility

Authentic Rotary Tone in a Compact Pedal

The Boss RT-2 Rotary Ensemble is a powerhouse of immersive rotary speaker effects, delivering studio-grade sonic detail in a rugged stompbox format. This pedal is designed to emulate the complex motion and tonal texture of classic rotary cabinets with an authenticity that satisfies even the most discerning tone chasers. With three distinctive rotary modes and a high-performance DSP engine, the RT-2 captures every nuance of the rotating horn and drum speaker experience, allowing guitarists, keyboardists, and bassists to add rich, swirling dimension to their tone.

Studio-Grade Performance and Customization

With 32-bit DA conversion and a 48 kHz sample rate, the RT-2 preserves your signal's clarity while layering on intricate modulation. You can tailor your experience using dedicated knobs for slow and fast speeds, drive, level, rise/fall time, and more. Whether you're chasing smoky jazz textures or searing psychedelic swirls, the RT-2’s onboard controls and intuitive layout let you dial in your ideal rotary sound without menu-diving or secondary functions. Plus, its buffered bypass ensures your signal stays strong and true when the effect is disengaged.

Versatile Expression and Control Options

The RT-2’s control flexibility sets it apart. Plug in a footswitch or expression pedal (sold separately) to expand your live performance capabilities. Switch between slow and fast speeds, engage a brake function, or sweep through parameters like level and drive in real time. The pedal’s four different footswitch behavior types adapt to your playing style, giving you total control whether you prefer toggling or press-and-hold operation.

Dual Outputs and Custom Output Modes

Take full advantage of stereo setups with dual output jacks and configurable output modes. You can run traditional stereo rotary speaker simulations or split your wet and dry signals across two amps or channels for creative mixing possibilities. The RT-2 adapts seamlessly to mono, stereo, and wet/dry rigs, making it an essential tool for stage and studio.

Reliable, Road-Ready Build

Built to Boss’s legendary standards, the RT-2 is ready for demanding use. The pedal can be powered by a 9V battery or an optional PSA-series power supply. Its visual virtual rotor display shows treble and bass rotor speed in real time, while the CHECK indicator provides a battery life check and speed status at a glance. With a compact footprint and rugged construction, it delivers boutique performance in a board-friendly form.
