Back in the 1970's I owned Leslie 825 and a vintage 147 for my Hammond M100. Today it's a Roland VK7 with a Leslie sim that is shrill and unsatisfying... so I bought a Motion Sound (real deal) but i... read more [+]t's 80 pounds and problematic outdoors - the inboard mics are also shrill.April 30, 2013 Music Background: Pro Musician The Ventilator solves all that. It not only provides the best-I've-heard rotation simulation, it also models how the old 122s and 147s altered the tone, giving it body and rolling off the highs just enough to let this Roland just scream without the harshness. Pumped through my Mackie SRM450s my rig is now every bit as good as the old M100/147 combo at 1/10th the size and weight. Happy camper. close [-] Excellent

Bought it to use with my Roland VR-700 V-Combo. Amazing difference in not only the leslie sim, but the Leslie 122 modeling as well. Has that high end roll off modeled just right, and actually gives ... read more [+]you that sense of swirling around you instead of just at and away from you. Also allows me to use the Hammond model in my Jupiter-80 when I can't bring the V-Combo. Very happy with the purchase. close [-]

by Brad Reid from Arkansas
Getting back into playing, I was looking at Leslie simulator pedals. After previously owning a Leslie Model 16 (same as Fender Vibratone) and also a Hammond C3/Leslie 147, I knew this was going to be... read more [+] a long search. February 25, 2013 Music Background: hobby player now I heard about Neo Ventilator on YouTube and watched clips with both guitar/amp and keyboards demoed. I was astonished by how close it sounded to a Leslie (both the Fender Vibratone/Leslie Model 16 and a 122). Yes, there were less expensive options, but none approached the sound/versatility of the Neo. After receiving and using it, I was truly sold on it!! I don't have any keyboards right now, but I know that if I do get some, the Neo will have a place in their use. Sweetwater's customer service is second to none, and It was on my doorstep two business days after ordering the item. When I have ordered from other online retailer's it would usually take 5-7 business days to receive. close [-] Happy Camper!

I haven't been this happy in a Very Long time! When you run a hot signal into the ventilator (which they recommend), the typical hiss that you hear coming from your stereo PA speakers slowly pans back... read more [+] and forth (as the Leslie horn simulation spins at slow rotation). This is the (exact) sound of the great "Hammond Beast" waiting to be let out. It will inspire you to play a screaming solo as you change the rotation back and forth from fast to slow. Raising the "overdrive" slightly past 12 o'clock puts just the right "edge" on your tone. It reminds me of the time I ran two microphones from my Leslie into a Marshall tube amp, placed the Marshall amp (facing me) on top of my B3 as it blasted me right in the face (while I pretended to be Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, etc. This is the exact same thing (minus the ear damage). close [-]

I've owned a Leslie 147 for many many years. I know it inside-out! I recently had my Hammond B3 modified so I could hook up the Ventilator at the same time as the Leslie 147 while switching rotor spee... read more [+]ds on both from one switch. Recording both outputs allows me to do instant A/B comparisons between the Leslie and the Ventilator. For me the results were quite surprising! I expected there to be some tonal differences for at least these reasons: the Ventilator was modeled on a Leslie 122 (not a 147), plus there is the factor of microphones and mic preamps on the 147. Nevertheless, with relatively neutral settings on both units, the sound was so close to identical that I could not tell the difference! Well actually there are certain undesirable artifacts from the 147 (relay switching sound- not usually perceivable in a music track) which gave it away since the Ventilator does not produce these artifacts (which is good!). The Ventilator also has a variety of very useful controls for altering the sound, including a tube overdrive knob which can produce more distortion than my Leslie cranked all the way up. Along with this, you can overdrive the input which also adds up to a classic overdrive effect. All in all, the Ventilator is pretty much perfect and I would never hesitate to use it on professional gigs and recordings. close [-]
