Boss RT-2 Rotary Ensemble Rotary Speaker Emulation Compact Pedal
The Boss RT-2 Rotary Ensemble packs the immersive sound of vintage rotary speaker cabinets into a compact and flexible pedal. Featuring three distinct modes, including a faithful vintage emulation and two custom BOSS-tuned variations, the RT-2 is designed for expressive modulation with deep spatial character. A Drive control adds tube-like saturation or adjusts the treble/bass rotor balance, while onboard and external controls offer versatile switching, braking, and speed transitions. With stereo I/O, expression pedal support, and intuitive virtual rotor display, the RT-2 delivers iconic rotary tone for modern players.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the RT-2 is the perfect solution for players chasing rich, swirling tones without hauling a full rotary cabinet.
