Description
Rotary Revolution
Rotary speaker cabinets sound amazing, but their size and weight make them impractical for anyone but the most dedicated vintage enthusiasts. Powered by the latest BOSS advancements, the RT-2 Rotary Ensemble distills this expressive spatial effect into a footprint that’s easy to integrate into every setup. This powerhouse pedal authentically recreates the complex sonic magic of its inspiration, supported by three sound modes, deep tonal shaping, and advanced operation with the onboard pedal switch and external control.
Features
- Authentic rotary speaker sounds and behaviors condensed into a space-saving BOSS compact pedal
- Three versatile modes include a vintage rotary sound and two modified tones with enhanced spatial effects
- Virtual rotor display with lights that indicate treble and bass rotor speeds
- Fast/slow rotor speed control
- Drive knob to add vintage tube saturation
- Rise/Fall Time switch adjusts the transition time between rotor speeds
- Drive/Balance switch assigns the Drive knob to control the saturation amount or the volume balance between the treble and bass rotors
- Four selectable pedal switch modes for bypassing the effect and controlling the rotor speed in various ways while performing
- Support for advanced control with external footswitches or an expression pedal (speed, brake, and other functions)
- Mono/stereo input and output
- Two stereo output modes: standard stereo (default) or individual wet and dry outputs
- BOSS five-year warranty
AUTHENTIC TONE AND FUNCTIONALITY IN A COMPACT FORMAT
● Classic rotary speaker and preamp tones, along with enhanced variations for richer ambience and a broader drive range.
● Advanced tone shaping with new dual-axis knobs to control rotor speed, preamp drive, slow/fast speed settings, and horn/bass rotor mix.
● The pedal switch enables seamless transitions between slow and fast rotor speeds, while
accurately capturing the tonal nuances during transistion
● Virtual Rotor display visually syncs the motion of the horn and bass rotors for intuitive feedback
MULTIPLE MODES FOR INSPIRATION & CREATIVITY
● Mode I: Authentic vintage rotary speaker and preamp tones, recreated using cutting-edge BOSS modeling technology.
● Mode II: Expanded tonal range delivers a more natural spatial ambience, making it an ideal match for drive pedals and beyond.
● Mode III: Enhanced modulation and drive range delivers a fuller tone with improved presence in the mix.
● Rear-panel Drive/Balance switch reassigns the Drive knob to adjust horn and bass rotor volumebalance, functioning like a hi/low-pass filter
EASY TO CONTROL
● Multi-functional pedal switch enables both speed (slow/fast) and effect (on/off) control.
● Dedicated speed jack supports separate slow/fast switching via external footswitches.
● Unlock Brake function emulates the natural inertia-based stopping motion of rotary speakers.
● External expression pedal input allows real-time control of assigned parameters.
Who's it for?
Guitarists who are interested in rotary or spatial modulation effects.
Keyboard players and vocalists who want that authentic swirling sound.
