The rotating speaker sound is one of the coolest sounds in electric guitar. Jimi Hendrix has used it. David Gilmour has used it. Stevie Ray Vaughan, likewise, was a fan. The problem is that the vintage hardware is large and impractical, and expensive.
Luckily, players looking for that psychedelic mojo and spatial movement have options – the Uni-Vibe for instance – but Boss might just have dropped the best of the lot, the RT-2 Rotary Ensemble, which is a feature-packed rotary speaker simulator with three modes, various speed controls, mono or stereo operation – and it even has a Drive knob to emulate the saturation you get from the original unit’s tube-driven preamp section.
