Put Rotary Cabinet Action on Your Pedalboard

Love the sound of an authentic rotary cabinet, but hate the bulk and inconvenience? Put Neo Instruments' Ventilator Pedal in your rig and get the performance, without the hassle! The Ventilator emulates a Leslie 122 rotary cabinet, right down to the independent treble and bass rotor speeds, the crossover (800Hz), and even that rich tube drive that the classic cab adds to your sound. This amazing 2-footswitch pedal even includes microphone placement emulation, so you can choose the perfect setup and sound for your rig. Love the sound of your amp, but want that rotary magic? Switch off the Ventilator's speaker simulator. And, thanks to true-bypass switching ensures that your sound is completely intact when the Ventilator is switched off.

This amazing pedal lets you adjust rotary speed and acceleration, so you get that outstanding rotary speaker vibe from your existing rig; it's perfect for touring players (or anyone who wants that Leslie vibe, without the physical cabinet). The road-tough Ventilator is housed in a rugged aluminum chassis and it's knobs are recessed, so you get worry-free performance onstage. A remotely switchable rotary stop means you're not tethered to one part of the stage when you're using the Ventilator. This pedal makes a rotary rig a reality!

Neo Instruments Ventilator Rotary Cabinet Emulation Pedal Features:
  • Faithful replication of the model 122 Leslie's rotary effect
  • Independent emulations of bass and treble rotors
  • Faithful replication of the original's mechanical properties
  • Speaker simulation emulates the 122's frequency response
  • Same 800Hz crossover as the original
  • Adjustable rotary speed and acceleration
  • Drive section simulates tube saturation in the Leslie's amp
  • Variable placement of virtual microphones
  • Relay-equipped true-bypass circuit
  • Speaker simulation may be switched off for guitar amps
  • Port for a remote footswitch/half-moon switch
  • Remotely switchable rotary stop
  • Rugged die-cast aluminum chassis and recessed buttons
  • Simple, straightforward analog handling

Neo Instruments' Ventilator Pedal puts all the nuances and character of a rotary cabinet right on your pedalboard!

Neo Instruments Ventilator is excellent!

by Marie Taylor from Utica, NY

Music Background: A keyboard players wife and enjoyer of music.
I purchased this product as a birthday gift for my husband. As youngsters we would haul around his giant leslie cabinet when he played out. A few years back he sold the leslie. Missing the effect o... read more [+]f it, I saw him researching this ventilator and I took advantage. We are both amazed and very pleased with the awesome effects it puts out. Now when he packs up his gear, he picks it up with one hand, chuckles, and says..."should I take the leslie or leave it home...right...I'm taking it!" I highly recommend this product. close [-]

And you can just say it again. Wow! I'm a-blown away, like in an Oklahoma twister?
Man, do I know leslies, not actual organ leslies, mind you, but almost every rotating device for guitar the ma... read more [+]rket has had to offer, even a bheringer 50 bucks pedal, I' m the sucker for the thing, I'll always give it a shot, or in the bheringer case, won't give a a shit.
This here ventilator...( wonder if they got the title from 'Ventilator Blues' a murky leslie'd piano sounding track on The Stone's Exile on main street. I, myself, owe a lot of my rotating desire to, first and foremost, George Harrison on Abbey Road, Something et all, Clapton's signature rotating Badge riff, and surely Mick Taylor ...or was it Keef? on Let it loose, the fast speed rotation on the descending bass d maj arpeggio still gets to me. Well, yeah, and then there's Gilmore, Floyd did record at Abbey Road, after all. I'd guess probably the Mecca of all rotating speakers for guitars (and vocals) would be the ole' 147 cabinet they kept there, now the opperation's been sold, and you know how these things go...mon, did I get sidetracked )...is the ultimate experiece. Period.
I've had Boogie Revolvers, loved the progressive speed pedal, found them hard to mike, andI have been using Hughes & kettner's Rotosphere for over 10 years, apart from the more complicated and thorough Motion Sounds, they're the best serving units I've come across. This Ventilator thang goes a couple of notches over, and as far as fooling my ears and brains, I'm looking no further, for now...
What I did was split it stereo on the new EC Tremolux and an ole tweed Champ. Do that and you are in a room with the actual walnut monster, in your mind, it's that real.
I' m sure getting another one, I fear it might break down, or run out, and I just can't be without it any more. The mike distance parameter makes a lot of the difference, but it doesn't stop there. It's a typically hearing to believe case, don't take my word on it.
You think modelling won't fool you, well think again, smart-alec, or don't, just do it, get it, you' ll thank me.

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
