Ok... good luck with the show Joan. :) I won't be able to make that unfortunately as I am in the UK :(

Anyhow, as you have mentioned Guido's new remote pedal for the Ventilator, the cats out of the bag so to speak… so I guess I can mention it also :)

I did beta test the pre production device for Guido and can confirm that it is a seriously useful accessory for the Ventilator. You can set this baby up for virtually any combination of switching with regard to run/stop & slow/fast... it has an internal programmable eight position switch so that you can set the device to your exact requirements. You can have just fast/slow if you prefer to keep the rotor running! I prefferred the Leslie 760 style setting myself, but there is also a Leslie 122 style if you prefer that! If you find using a half moon switch inconvenient, then this is the ideal accessory for the Ventilator. I have used the Neo Instruments foot pedal for the last few weeks with out any problem and can confirm it is of a very rugged construction that is ideal for the gigging musician. :)

Be sure to check out Joan's stand at NAMM for a demonstration and possibly a guide on the price.
