NEO Instruments Ventilator II Rotary Speaker Simulator

General

It's not often that a newcomer sets an industry standard, but that's exactly what NEO-instruments did with the Ventilator. This compact rotary speaker simulator emulated such a realistic Leslie sound, that it quickly became a beloved pedal. Meanwhile, the competition didn't sit still, producing better pedals akin to this one. With the new Ventilator II, NEO is one step ahead of its competitors again. The sound is just as impressive while its housing is much more compact, and due to doubling regulator functions, the number of sounds has increased remarkably. Don't take our word for it - try the 'Leslie in a box' out for yourself! Like the previous model, this pedal is suitable for keyboard and guitar.

A Closer Look at the NEO Ventilator II

Those who want to recreate the pulsating sound of a rotating Leslie 122 speaker, needs to know what they're doing. NEO instruments showed the world what they could do with the Ventilator I, and now they've taken things a step further with the Ventilator II. Besides the customary stop, slow/fast and bypass switch, you'll find regulators with double functions. This means you have the possibilities of the original Leslie cabinet at your disposal - but that's not all! Have a look at the specifications for an overview of the controls. The whole thing is wrapped up tastefully in a durable metal housing, and is of course equipped with True Bypass.

Extended Controls:

A true Leslie-lover will know that the Leslie 122 houses two rotating drums that are both adjustable in turning speed. The Ventilator II is based on this concept, but instead of two physical drums, you control two virtual ones. You can adjust not only the speed, but also the acceleration and balance between the drums. The built-in overdrive has the same fat, warm sound as an original Leslie 122 at full capacity. Just like its physical counterpart, you can also fine-tune the distance of the microphones in relation to the lowest and highest drum (dist Hi/ dist Lo). There is a switch for lo/hi input located on the back of the pedal that makes it suitable for a large number of different instruments.
