Mini Vent II by Neo Instruments

The Neo Instruments Mini Vent II is a rotary speaker simulator pedal designed to provide the lush sound of the VENTILATOR II in a compact and easy-to-use format. It is suitable for enhancing the sound of organs, keyboards, guitars, and bass. The pedal features authentic rotary speaker emulation with extended parameter settings, including Speed, Balance, Drive, Distance, and Cabinet Mode. It offers a switch mode routine for customizing footswitch functions and comes in a compact and rugged enclosure.

The Mini Vent II utilizes a 32-bit SHARC DSP for signal processing and features 48kHz, 24-bit analog-digital and digital-analog conversion. The pedal has a noise level of -80 dBA, an input sensitivity of -10 dBV (Hi) and 0 dBV (Lo), and an input impedance of 1MOhm. The output level is at +6 dBV with an output impedance of 100 Ohms. It is recommended to use a load impedance of 10 KOhms or more.

The pedal weighs 1.1kg (2lbs 6oz) without the power supply and has dimensions of 100x105x55mm. It operates on mains voltage of 100-240V, 47Hz-63Hz, with a current draw of 200mA. The connectors include Input Mono, Output L, Output R, and DC In. The Mini Vent II comes with a 12V DC 500mA power supply and includes 4 adaptors for universal use.

The pedal also offers silent foot switches for Bypass and Slow/Fast with LED indicators, a stop function for the rotors, and the ability to memorize bypass status on power off. Additionally, it includes two user presets that can be stored in memory and recalled via the A-B switch.

The Mini Vent II is highly regarded for its meticulous emulation of a Leslie 122 Rotary Speaker, tube drive feature, and its flexibility in customizing sound through various editable parameters. It is suitable for integration into any setup via its mono input and stereo outputs, making it ideal for pedal board rigs.
