Boss has unveiled the RT‑2 Rotary Ensemble, a streamlined successor to the RT‑20, packed into a single‑pedal, compact format.

Key Features

• Three process modes: Mode I delivers classic Leslie 122 tones; Mode II expands spatial range with richer mid content; Mode III adds higher definition, presence, and drive :=.
• Virtual rotor display centrally shows treble and bass rotor speeds, aiding visual mix control and visibility on dark stages.
• Dual‑concentric knobs & switch control:
  • One knob handles Level and Drive (tube saturation) adjustable via rear-panel Drive/Balance switch.
  • Second knob sets Slow/Fast rotor speeds, with a Rise/Fall switch to choose transition slew time.
• Performance flexibility: Four footswitch modes, ability to hook up external expression pedals or switches for speed/brake control.
• Routing and outputs: Handles mono or full stereo I/O, with a wet/dry split option.
• Warranty: Covers five years, matching Boss’s compact series standard.

Context & Pricing

Released July 2025, the RT‑2 retails for approximately $239.99 / £233 / €269. It condenses the RT‑20’s feature set into a modern footprint while maintaining its sonic integrity.

Why It Matters

The RT‑2 delivers a full Leslie emulation—including motor-driven rotor transitions, bass/horn blending, and even saturation—without the bulk of classic cabinets or dual-pedal footprints. The compact design, intuitive visual feedback, and flexible control options mark it as a potent tool for guitarists and keyboardists seeking authentic rotary textures in live and studio contexts.
