“A faithful reproduction of the most famous vintage rotary speaker design”: The Boss RT-2 Rotary Ensemble captures that vintage Leslie mojo in a compact pedal – and its display is worth the money alone

Boss RT-2 Rotary Ensemble: the compact gold stompbox is sitting on an electric piano and there is an S-style electric guitar in the background.

Boss has dropped some fresh pedalboard candy for players looking to nail some of those retro psych electric guitar tones as popularized by, y’know, the cosmic genius of the likes of James Marshall Hendrix and David Gilmour, with the RT-2 Rotary Ensemble packing all of the swirly modulated mojo of a rotary speaker in a compact effects pedal.

And while it might be small – just like a regular Boss pedal – the RT-2 is packed with features, with three modes offering three different styles of rotary speaker.
