Add some classic rotary speaker tones to your guitar or keyboard rig with the BOSS RT-20 Rotary Ensemble Pedal. The rotary speaker sound has been adding mojo to guitar sounds over several decades, gracing countless recordings from the Beatles to Joe Bonamassa. The RT-20 is modeled on the famed Leslie 122 speaker, and recreates those legendary tones, but without the bulk and weight of a massive rotary cabinet. Rather, you can place the RT-20 in your guitar's or keyboard's signal chain and enjoy the rotary speaker effect on your tone. Four modes are offered, ranging from a traditional rotary speaker effect to a classic '60s/'70s Uni-Vibe type effect. You can even add some grit by using the Overdrive control. The RT-20 can operate in mono or stereo, and has a connection for an optional expression pedal (sold separately) to control the rotor's rotation speed in real time.

Rooms, halls, plates, springs, it’s all here, alongside more esoteric processes, such as octavized shimmering, as well as the characterful Lo-Fi, Slowverb, and Storm. Classic Roland units have also been emulated, such as Space Echo (the RE-201), and SRV, based on the SRV-2000, a popular unit in the 1980s. The RV-500 provides its sound using 32-bit AD/DA conversion, 32-bit floating-point processing, and sampling rates of 96 kHz.With a panoply of parameters in every effects type, you’ll be able to control your tone to an extensive and deep degree.

A tap tempo/control footswitch offers more in the way of on-the-fly manipulation. A and B footswitches not only provide bank selection tools—they also give you the ability to engage two reverb as once in a variety of modes (series, parallel, and parallel to different amps/destinations come to mind).
