Good point. Those harmonics don't harness themselves, after all.

Dude, those crystal lattices be fuckin 'spensive n shit

I'll bring my board home from the practice spot tomorrow night and post my current collection.

I did one of those excane style shots like 4 years ago when I moved into my house.

Holy shit I only have 5 of these pedals left, everything else is gone.

I plan on contributing to this after my move in 2 weeks after everything is unpacked!

I seriously only have three pedals that I've owned for longer than a year.

Hey Chank... lots of good stuff there. :thumb:

How is the ventilator (rotary speaker simulator)?

Here my stuff.

Minus the Faye Sing which I sold.

The 2525 is on loan to a friend in St Louis. You know, Christmas spirit and such. Also, that is a gorgeous Ab-synth. Amongst many other gorgeous things, that is.

Thanks, sylnau.

The Ventilator is an interesting pedal. It's probably the best Leslie simulator I've heard. As it is however designed for keyboard players, I've got a number of issues with it. When it's in your signal chain, it's definitely the dominant pedal. And by dominant, I mean fussy. It doesn't, for me anyway, always play nicely with other pedals. So, I've had to adjust all the other pedals in the chain to make things work with it.

(This might go on for a bit. Since you asked, I've got a lot to say about it. Maybe too much?)

My main guitar has pretty low output pickups. They suggest using a boost before it when using it with low output pickups. Not a bad suggestion. It's kinda difficult to dial it in though. The input of the Ventilator is pretty sensitive. There's an indicator light that tells you when you're "overloading" the input. (I kinda hate those.) What may be "overload" for a keyboard player, may not necessarily be overload for a guitarist. So, it's pretty subjective.

I haven't fully explored what it can really do that's not your typical Leslie sounds, but I'm gradually trying out different things. It sounds pretty amazing with lots of feedback, with high gain pedals placed both before and after it in the chain. I've also been playing a lot of rhythm stuff though it, which sounds great. I do use it for normal Leslie stuff when I'm playing slide and stuff like that. It's kinda fantastic like that.

So, is it worth the bucks? IDK. It pretty much does one thing really well. If you need an amazing Leslie sound, this is the pedal to get. If you only wanna get close, something cheaper would do. You can almost get there with a phaser and a tremolo. It's pretty expensive for what it does, but I had major GAS after I heard Burgs' demo. I've thought about selling it, but I eventually wanna get some organs. So, I'll keep it.

Thanks! The sparkle on that AB-Synth is awesome... Tom really did a great job!

I also have a friend in St. Louis. Might be the same guy.

Thanks Chank... I might get the Dr. Scientist Reverberator onre of these days... R0 is a rotary speaker simulator.

yallerhon have some great things too.... I always wanted to try the Shiva.

You're welcome, syl.

I'm jealous of your Demo Tape Fuzz. I'm definitely gonna pick up one of those sooner or later.

I love seeing these types of pics. I'll see what I can do over the next day or so. I finally sold a bunch a little while back so it's not nearly as impressive. Not that it's ever been great...

How much pages excane will fill? :animal:
