DESCRIPTION

The Boss RT-2 is a next-generation rotary sound processor designed to deliver the lush, swirling textures of a classic rotary speaker with stunning realism and full creative control. Powered by high-resolution 48 kHz audio and advanced 24-bit AD and 32-bit DA conversion, the RT-2 produces crystal-clear sound with ultra-responsive dynamics. Thanks to Boss and Roland’s exclusive Adaptive Focus technology, the signal remains exceptionally clean, reducing unwanted noise while preserving every detail of your tone.

The RT-2 offers deep customization, allowing players to control speed, drive, and level with intuitive knobs, while the MODE switch and RISE/FALL TIME settings give you full command over the rotary effect’s transition and character. A buffered bypass ensures your core tone stays intact when the pedal is off. Designed with dual inputs and outputs, plus a control/expression jack, the RT-2 integrates easily with footswitches, expression pedals, and other accessories for on-the-fly performance control.

Compact, road-ready, and built to inspire, the Boss RT-2 is perfect for guitarists, keyboardists, and creative musicians looking to capture vintage rotary sounds with the flexibility and precision demanded by modern music.
