I think the Vent will please the player, not the audience............I have briefly tried one...........however having done some tests with real Leslies, onboard effects and sims most people couldn't tell the difference. The like all the swirlyness about the same...........

My solution was to buy a 860 Leslie and preamp for less than a Vent, it needed a lot of work but I need to hear air moving and it is small.
Just lacking in low bass but that isn't a deal breaker

Strymon Lex vs. Neo Ventilator pedals pt. 2



As for an organist, I do not think the VENTILATOR can take any EXP PEDAL TO RUN he amount of DRIVE,
it's just some on/off and BRAKE things, and HALF MOON switches.
The LEX can ASSIGN EXP PEDAL pedal to any of the DRIVE or knob parameters which there are 8 of,
not 4 as one would think.

The "hidden menues" gets all 4 KNOBS to adjust 4 additional functions.
Not so on the Vent I think

Strymon Lex and Roto Choir  pedals are much less money and seem to be comparable to many aspects of the Vent from what I heave read and heard (on Youtube). It seems that the Overdrive is not quite as good on the Lex or Rotochoir as the Vent with the Lex coming closer. I own the Vent and its OD is better than I have ever heard from any keyboard, pedal  or amp that I have tried.

The title says it all. The consensus seems to be that the Neo Ventilator is the creme de la creme, the ne plus ultra, the bee's knees of Leslie sims. I have no reason not to believe that.

I don't have enough money to buy one. Is there another Leslie sim out there that's pretty good, acceptable, tolerable, for less money?
