Neo Ventilator - the best you can get IMO - the older version was a bit better and sounded more orignal i think... but i have bad ears.
the Pigtronix Rototron seems not to nail the sound right.

I had an older version Ventilator and it was indeed the best sounding IMO too, but I found it didn't play that nicely with fuzz.Sparkfriction wrote:Neo Ventilator - the best you can get IMO - the older version was a bit better and sounded more orignal i think... but i have bad ears.

I like my old Korg G4 - fat and ugly but I really like the way it sounds. Stereo ins and outs.

Re: stereo rotary pedal recommendations
I'm partial to the Boss/Roland/Cosm rotary sound, it has everything I need out of the effect (sounds great recorded direct), and is built into my Fantom XR, so I can also use it on groups of sounds/whole mixes.

The BOSS RT-20 always sounds perfect for my purposes. I play my KORG BX-3 through it and it nails the tone. I used it last night again and the audience loved the sound - as always.

Re: stereo rotary pedal recommendations
i have to say, i am not a big fan of rotary with fuzz and preffer phase shifters or chorus ..depends.Chankgeez wrote:I had an older version Ventilator and it was indeed the best sounding IMO too, but I found it didn't play that nicely with fuzz.Sparkfriction wrote:Neo Ventilator - the best you can get IMO - the older version was a bit better and sounded more orignal i think... but i have bad ears.
The problem is the overall design and how we did get used to our signal chains. i dont like phaseshifter/uni vibes behind fuzz pedals (i know some fuzz pedals will not work right with a pedal in front) but its the only option for real stereo use. Or you go the abusing route with one chain/site with fuzz and the other with different dirt or clean.
i just think a phase shifter would be the better choise for stereo swirl with fuzz/dirt as an effect imo. a few of them have stereo out. Also, a tremolo with stereo out will work "better" for dirt and would give you way more of the wide feel. With a trem, its cool because of the panning. one amp with reverb and the other dry would give you some back forth feeling. one clean, the other overdriven the up/down thingy. Lots of options. i just do stereo split at the end with my time factor which is cool for some of the delay modes but my chain will not give me any rotary / vibe stereo feel.
long/short: the design of pedals who mimics leslie speakers, are not the best choise for fuzz. IMO - but we get used to it because of the logic and how we build up the signal chain.
damn, i really need more coffee. - it kind of hurts to read my post

It's made by the guy who runs spin semi conductors. He has done a lot of cool stuff with Alesis as well
