That shop is variable. I would seem that the Vent in the video was set to a close-mic setting therefore he got more chop.
Same as a Leslie. Move the mics closer to the horn/rotor and you get more modulation.

I have to say.... I really liked the Lex in this video. It seems less
"choppy" and it seems to effect the tone less.

I would imagine that if this is being sold primarily for guitar that guitar
players might not like devices that would alter their tone. The Lex seems
to have a nice neutral character to it, which is a big plus for me.

I know the Ventilator is like a religion to some people ( as were boutique
tube preamps a few years back) but I would be inclined to give the Lex a
shot if I were looking for an outboard sim.

But since I have a Numa and am satisfied with the onboard sim it is a moot
point. Hopefully we will be able
to save the 300 to 500 dollars or so for outboard sims and tube preamps
in the future and apply them to the purchase of clones that don't need them.
