UPDATED Ventilator II Rotary Effects Pedal — $549
IN STOCK

The Ventilator II is an effects device that emulates and faithfully reproduces the famed Leslie Model 122 rotary speaker sound. The company, based in Fulda Germany, is manufacturing the Ventilator ll as a second-generation piece to its successful Ventilator and a companion to two existing “mini VENTs” designed for both guitar and keyboard. The original Ventilator was used by many high-profile touring artists including Chuck Leavell (Rolling Stones) and Craig Frost (Bob Seger). The Ventilator II is being used on the latest tours including Dawes, James Taylor, Styx, and many other major artists.

Housed in a rugged metal chassis measuring 6”x 5.25”x 2.25” the Ventilator II fits easily on the top of a keyboard rig or on a pedalboard. Three rotary pots allow adjustment of rotor Speed Control (slow to fast), Balance, and Drive. In addition, separate pots control a unique virtual mic placement feature – one for the lo and one for the rotary high – that simulates different microphone positions for each “driver”.  Three footswitches provide Bypass, Speed Control, and Stop.

• Faithful replication of model 122 Leslie's rotary effect

• Ready to connect to guitar or keyboards

• The Drive section simulates tube saturation in the Leslie amp

• Speaker simulation may be switched off for guitar amps

• Rugged die-cast aluminum chassis and recessed buttons

• Internal stop switch lets you stop rotary simulation for dramatic effect

• Fine-tune sound with separate mix/distance controls for Hi / Lo rotors

• Expression pedal input for Speed or Mix control

Leslie Rotary Effect “Cream” Pedal — $399 IN STOCK

Hammond Organ USA announced the release of their Digital Leslie Pedal at the 2013 Winter NAMM. Designed and built in America, the Leslie Pedal allows the distinctive rotary, moving sound of a Leslie to be added to any, guitar, bass, keyboard, or studio rig.

Derived from the state-of-the-art Digital Leslie onboard the new Hammond Sk series stage keyboards and the flagship B-3mkII Organ, the Leslie Pedal evokes vintage 122 and 147 Leslies, and the Model 18, basis of the classic Vibratone Guitar cabinet made famous by Stevie Ray Vaughn and others. The fourth model replicates the distinctive PR-40 stationary speaker cabinet, which was standard issue with Hammond Organs in the 50s and 60′s, and a “secret weapon” for many vintage studio guitar recordings.

Rotary controls allow adjustment of virtual mic placement, ramp-up and down speeds, overdrive, horn and bass balance, EQ, and overall volume. Three footswitches provide true bypass, speed and brake control, stereo in/out. A gain switch allows the Leslie Pedal to be used in a guitar effects chain, or direct inject into a sound reinforcement system/keyboard amp.

12V DC Power Supply for Ventilator II Effects Pedal — $20

Vent Mini for Organ or Guitar — $399 (Special Order)

The mini Vent II combines the functionality of its predecessor’s mini Vent and mini Vent for Organ. Furthermore, an extended parameter set allows for even more detailed fine-tuning of custom rotary sounds. Parameters now include SPEED, BALANCE, DRIVE, DISTANCE, and MODE (GIT / KEY). While the hardware remains the same, the new mini Vent II is a much more flexible device, enabling classic sounds as well as effects apart from the rotary mainstream. Two different settings can be saved to memory and be selected by the A-B switch on the back of the unit. The effect algorithm has been further improved, now using a smoother modulation curve for the Distance parameter. Therefore the basic sound is identical to the top-of-the-line model Ventilator II. The Switch Mode Routine allows the user to change functions of the footswitches, e.g. using the BYPASS switch as STOP switch while BYPASS is selected by pressing both switches at once. Here’s an overview of the features:

• Compact enclosure, 4″ X 4″ x 1 1/2″  (10 x 10.5cm)

• Footswitches for Bypass, Slow/Fast

• LEDs for Bypass, Lo Rotor Speed, Hi Rotor Speed

• Internal Stop Function for the rotors

• Mono input

• Stereo output

• Input Gain select (Hi / Lo)

• Extended parameter set (Speed, Balance, Drive, Distance, Mode)

• Bypass Status memorized on power off

• New modulation curve for the Distance function (same as Ventilator II)

• Only one model for guitar and organ

• Switch Mode routine for customizing footswitch functions

• Factory Reset option

• Includes 12-volt universal power supply with 4 adaptors to use anywhere in the world

Please note: All Ventilator products utilize the same 12V DC power supply. We recommend using the factory supply for the best results.
