Anyone using the Boss RT-2 Rotary?

[Len Amaral]

I recently acquired a Boss RT-2 Rotary pedal. Still making adjustments and playing with it. Has anyone used this pedal?

I've heard them used on 6 strings before, and spent a bunch of time with the Digitech rotary pedal myself.

I have two "hornless" Leslies here that I need to try out with my steel, one of these days.

I used one for a while maybe 15 years ago. It is a pretty decent unit. Mine died and I switched to a Tech 21 Rotochoir, but the Boss is a pretty cool pedal.

I've used the larger RT20 a few years ago which has the 20 something rotary parameters same as the Boss SE70 multi. The 2 appears to have most of the same features. Both are based on Roland/Boss rotary algorithms which is huge with tons of parameters to adjust such as rise and fall time of rotor and horn, fast, slow etc.

Add one of the FS style pedals and you can also have a brake.

I have the Multi-FX unit SE70 which is what the pedals' are based on. I use the rotary progams in it all the time with the pedal steel. I've always gotten compliments on it's authenticity of sound.

I expect the newer pedals add more updated settings.

Boss rotary has one of the best sims of the leslie sound and features galore along with superb quality. Although I've never used the RT2, I would probably pick one up if I didn't already have a rack full of leslie sims. I'd bet that you'd be well pleased with it.

Hadn't kept up with the pedals so didn't even know about this 2 pedal.

Always been fond of the old RT-20. A cool pedal.
Never tried the RT-2.
