BOSSRT-2 Rotary Ensemble Effects Pedal White
1/12
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The BOSS RT-2 brings rotary-speaker-style movement to a compact pedalboard format, offering three modes for different takes on the effect. Slow, Fast, Drive, and Level knobs keep core adjustments close at hand; the Drive control can also be reassigned to set the horn-and-bass balance. Its footswitch manages rotor-speed changes or bypass, and the CTL/EXP jack expands real-time control with compatible external switches or an expression pedal. Stereo I/O and buffered bypass suit it to pedalboard and recording chains alike.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Pedalboards needing selectable rotary movement without carrying a rotary speaker cabinet.
- Live parts where switching between slow and fast rotor speeds is part of the arrangement.
- Stereo guitar or keyboard signal paths needing a rotary-style modulation effect.
