Just in the Door at Northeast Music Center, The New Boss Rotary Ensemble Pedal, The RT-2

Rotary speaker cabinets sound amazing, we love them, and the folks at Northeast Music Center know that true Rotary are large in size and weight which makes them impractical for mot musicians for both logistics and stage size. Powered by the latest BOSS advancements, the RT-2 Rotary Ensemble employs this expressive spatial effect into a small footprint that’s easy to integrate into every setup. This stompbox size 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.

Three Versatile Tones

Use the RT-2’s three-position Mode switch to call up the classic rotary speaker voice and two modern variations developed with custom BOSS tuning.

Mode I—A faithful reproduction of the most famous vintage rotary speaker design, realized with the latest BOSS modeling technology. This mode adds traditional rotary color to any instrument, from guitar and bass to organs, electric pianos, synthesizers, and more.

Mode II—The vintage rotary sound, enhanced with a wider tonal range. This mode provides increased spatial performance when paired with overdrive and distortion pedals.

Mode III—Provides enhanced definition with intense modulation and drive settings, adding power and presence to arpeggio playing and solos.
