much space. My favorite feature of the Destination Rotation is the footswitchable drive.
Kick it in for dramatic saturated rotary shimmer, and leave it off for glistening textures.
One drawback is the lack of stereo outputs; if you’re looking for a wide, panoramic sound,
this won’t be able to achieve that, unless you feed it into another pedal that has stereo
capability. But if simple and straightforward is your thing, give this one a look. If rock star
endorsements are your thing, this one has Joe Walsh’s stamp of approval.
NEO INSTRUMENTS
VENTILATOR/MINI VENTILATOR
The Ventilator is a faithful recreation of the famed Leslie 122 rotary speaker. Speed,
Acceleration, Balance, Drive and Distance knobs deliver powerful rotary sculpting, and
the recessed knobs ensure you won’t knock them around when you’re stomping on
your board. This is definitely overbuilt and should last a lifetime barring some sort of
gig disaster. The Mini Ventilator features preset rotary speeds and is control-free with
only two footswitches for bypass and speed. The latest offering from Neo, Ventilator II,
appears to replace both models, as it is streamlined into a smaller package, yet features
the robust feature set of the original. Try out all three models if you can and see which you
prefer. Though they differ in their controls, they all sound great, and you can’t go wrong
with any of them.
