Love the sound of an authentic rotary cabinet, but hate the bulk and inconvenience? Put Neo Instruments' Ventilator Pedal in your rig and get the performance, without the hassle! The Ventilator emulates a Leslie 122 rotary cabinet, right down to the independent treble and bass rotor speeds, the crossover (800Hz), and even that rich tube drive that the classic cab adds to your sound. This amazing 2-footswitch pedal even includes microphone placement emulation, so you can choose the perfect setup and sound for your rig. Love the sound of your amp, but want that rotary magic? Switch off the Ventilator's speaker simulator. And, thanks to true-bypass switching ensures that your sound is completely intact when the Ventilator is switched off.

This amazing pedal lets you adjust rotary speed and acceleration, so you get that outstanding rotary speaker vibe from your existing rig; it's perfect for touring players (or anyone who wants that Leslie vibe, without the physical cabinet). The road-tough Ventilator is housed in a rugged aluminum chassis and it's knobs are recessed, so you get worry-free performance onstage. A remotely switchable rotary stop means you're not tethered to one part of the stage when you're using the Ventilator. This pedal makes a rotary rig a reality!

Faithful replication of the model 122 Leslie's rotary effect

awesome sound and ultra portable especially with my 2 blues juniors. You gotta use 2 amps for sure with this baby! Only drawback is I can't run my Boss gt-10 stereo output through the ventilator. I was so happy when the store was able to order it- they liked it so much they ordered 44 of 'em! Go ye forth and lesliefy...

I have played my fair share of B and C3s as well as clonewheels through real Leslies and a range of sims. This unit leaves every other sim in the dust. The ramp up and down are excellent, but that's not unusual these days. What sets this unit apart is the fact that it seems to add tube harmonics - gentle to heavy overdrive - and something that sounds like a speaker in a wood cabinet. Nothing can quite equal swirling sound waves on stage, but I've had a number of musicians at gigs come up and tell me how close this sounds to the real thing. The unit is pricey, but worth it. Besides, think of what yuo'll save in chiropractor bills from not lugging around 150 pounds of 147

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
