BOSS RT-20Q Overview

The BOSS RT-20 Rotary Ensemble Twin Pedal is a simulation of rotary Leslie-type speakers of the type popularized by organists. Not only does it let you adjust almost every aspect of the speaker's performance, it also introduces features indispensable to guitarists.

Four different effect modes combine various speaker models with varying distortion. You can vary the speed of the horn and the bass speaker independently. An expression pedal input gives you real-time control of parameters while you play (for an authentic Gregg Allman sound), while the Brake feature lets you momentarily stop the speaker's rotation. And the rotating graphic display tells you how you've got the speakers set before you start playing.

The RT-20 is a comprehensive speaker simulator with features that make it useful for guitarists, keyboardists, and many others.

Four Internal Sounds
Four separate, fully-editable modes give you a wide array of sonic options.
Overdrive Circuit
When guitarists use a rotary speaker, overdrive is a must. So, BOSS built an overdrive circuit into the RT-20.
Separate Bass and Horn Adjustment
The virtual horn and bass speaker can be independently adjusted and controlled in real time, for sounds you can't even get with a real Leslie.
Expression Pedal Control
Plug any expression pedal into the input jack, and a variety of features can be controlled in real time as you play.
Virtual Rotor Display
For a finishing touch that's both helpful and really cool looking, a rotating indicator shows the rotation speed of the virtual horn and bass speaker by the speed of the red and blue lights, respectively.
