Experience iconic rotary speaker tones in a compact, pedalboard-friendly form with the BOSS RT-2 Rotary Ensemble Pedal. Inspired by the legendary Leslie speaker cabinets, the RT-2 delivers lush, swirling rotary sounds with deep tonal control and authentic rotary behavior. Whether you’re chasing subtle, chorus-like shimmer or fast, expressive modulation, the RT-2 lets you sculpt the perfect rotary sound for guitar, keyboards, or even vocals.
The RT-2 features independent controls for slow and fast rotary speeds, selectable rise and fall ramp times, and a tube-style drive circuit to add warmth and bite. A built-in Brake function stops the simulated rotors naturally, while stereo outputs spread your sound for a rich, immersive experience. The intuitive virtual rotor display gives real-time feedback on your horn and bass rotor speeds, all in a rugged single-pedal enclosure. With its extensive control options and compact design, the RT-2 puts pro-level rotary tones at your feet.
