That new Boss Rotary pedal

No. I'm actually getting rid of my Neo Instruments Mini Vent II. But, I'm not planning to replace it with another digital rotary pedal. It sounds great, and authentic, in a recording, but so does a quality plug-in.

When I try to explain why I don't like digital rotary pedals, it end up coming across like I hate digital, but I don't. I use a lot of digital amp and effect sims. When I leave the house to play, I always take something like my HX Stomp along. But, I find all the digital rotary-sims to come across flat and uninspiring in person, where an analog vibe or phase pedal will have depth and a 3D quality, for examples.

I'd like to have an old H&K Rotosphere because it's analog and sounds authentic, but I couldn't justify the high prices in the used market. So, I bought a Pigtronix Rototron. The Rototron does not sound as authentic as the Rotosphere, or even the Mini Vent II, but it has that depth and 3 dimensional quality that I find inspiring in analog modulation boxes.

The Boss RT2 sounds great in the clips. It sounds authentic. Maybe, I'll talk myself into one. :thu:
 
I dial leslie type stuff in on this.

I read that to hear the full effect of this digital rotary, you have to use the 2 stereo outputs, which makes sense. But I also read that one is wet and other dry, and I’m not exactly sure what that means. Sure does sound good in the demo!
And $249 is a bit steep.
