All user reviews of 4/5 for the Boss RT-20 Rotary Ensemble

So we have a boss pedal in the line twin, as the RC-20XL.

I think my fellow testers have well explained the thing: a model of all that is digital!

A point to add: the ability to connect the keyboard on the device, provided to switch the button on the front side.
Note also can connect to two amps in stereo on stage or else!

Finally, we can put an expression pedal (boss of course, the same story with the SAP adapter ... € 24 with us anyway!) For real-time to vary the speed of HP.

Not because I put 10 for the digital, there may be more opportunities to put in the beast.
But hey, there, I compare with the Holy Grail of the Univibe: THE Roger Mayer (Pope effects Hendrix) Voodoo Vibe ... I had the privilege of trying to Angel Music (Valenciennes). [Besides, she has yet to be! I was not able to offer it to the final (> 400 €)]
Indeed, one of Mayer includes a tremolo with selectable waveform.
In fact, the Voodoo Vibe is all analog!

As for the integrated overdrive, I'm pretty lenient ...
It is nice to add a crunchy note no more ...
But after the turn to starboard, is unthinkable without an equalizer beefy ass!
So here, add a disto OK, but if it is not able to set a minimum with a tone knob is a blow to stack with a total of 36 effects of the spray!

Hence the 5

UTILIZATION

I agree, the manual is pretty cheap ...

Anyway, after that the experiment for each
What matters is to find the sound you are looking.

For me, it was the sound of Jimi Univibe for my Start and that of Hammond for my keyboard: John Lord (Deep Purple) & Bernie Worrell (Parliament Funkaedelic)

Otherwise the consequences of setting the knobs are clear on the sound that comes out of your amp

SOUND QUALITY

While there, as I have the characteristics of sake, both here I want to tell you how I felt the way jimiz of sound when the knob to select the effect on IV!

THE best recording of Hendrix fire to feel the song remains the Univibe Machine Gun Live at the Fillmore East (soliiiiiii anthology for my part

Then with the keyboard, then the knob on I or II and rolls Poupoule!
Easily get the sound of Bernie the Elephant as the Colonel's Ghost Buckethead Claypool Bernie Brains (C2B3 for short) when he puts his two agreements on the continuous p ***** of Buckethead's solo (I recommend warmly album released in 2004)

In all, the boss takes up the pavement compared to the voodoo vibe ... but without the tremolo!
As it were, the sound is roots, I found easily on the SRV Cold Shot (album Could not Stand The Weather).

OVERALL OPINION

In short I am not disappointed, for a price divided by two compared to the roger mayer!

9 Pasqua, saying that Mayer is the very high end, but for the pros (Clapton used it on any album I know ...) or the rich (such p'tét c! ?!?)

That's my opinion after receiving two weeks ago and tested on Start and keyboard ...

8 because the addition of the overdrive is a reflection of what to do or not do better: add the phasing or other dac but if you can not adjust as you like ...
It is one that can do more can do less or I start something without going all the way!
Too bad ...

This is a rotary modlisateur his cabin in the form of double effect pedals.
Choice for a guitar or a keyboard with a select button, a headphone output, input and output mono or Stereo.
Serves as a bypass pedals, the other ordering slow / fast.
By pressing two, we simulate a stoppage of the rotor and the two horns Aiges.
The technology is numrique. The slow and fast speed are adjustable sparment.Il is well reproduced the opposite direction of rotation between the rotor and the like on a real horn!
The LED display shows in blue the rotation of the rotor.
The LED display indicates the rotation in red cones.
The button "rise time" to simulate belts Entran dtendues more or less. A rglage way, the rotor takes longer than acclrer cones and even for dclration. At bottom, rotors and cones are synchronous. The rotor speed and the cones become scabs APRS rgime established.
A button "drive" to simulate a saturation well but be careful to correct the gain on the mixer and the legalization because you will open your ears!
Finally, a balance direct / effect, and determination of the effect, then a slecteur of four types of effects depending on the wishes DSIR.

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple, as the record because there are not too many parameter.
The RT20 does modlisation a leslie cab with adjustable saturation.

SOUND QUALITY

The effect is more Russian than the BOSS SE-70 that I have for 19 years but the technology and processors have been volumes ...
Too bad there's no SETTING THE slow and fast spares for the rotor and cones because there against by the SE-70, like rglage Acc lration also indpendant between the rotor and cones. Espron one day it will be a Intgr RT20 "Next-Generation" but that does not exist today ...
She uses a ELKA X705 28. Gnial, it is closer to the couple B3 and Leslie 122 for the X705, and Whereas c'tait rput dj as a clone of B3. And, no numrique but analog. This organ has nothing to envy ralisations Current Contents sinusodaux sounds or flute drawbars.
Only small BMOL: The blowing out of the organ as the RT20 will tend to emphasize more on the cones. But with a little filtering of white noise, everything falls into place.

OVERALL OPINION

RT 20 is my all Frache this week.
For the price of this, there is nothing wrong. Qualitprix good value and a solid Casing. A more than raliste Submitted in my BOSS SE-70 but less comprehensive rglages not trsgnant but for my use.
And my old Chorus BOSS CE-3 will be able to use something else. Rest try my trmolo BOSS TR-2 upstream branch to see ...
But when one of modlisateur trmolo / vibrato B3 complter ultimately this?
I would also have an AIM on / off and more and delivery PSA230 power supply but with a supplier offered a pack BOSS RT20 + BOSS PSA230 the same price ... Looking good ...
Otherwise BOSS provides 6 AA batteries of 1.5 V in the bote. But the power supply or batteries are prconiss because alkaline batteries last about 10 am, 6 hours of salt according to the instructions!
