This pedal sounds GREAT! BUT.....to me it is absolutely the most difficult pedal to dial in that I have ever owned. I am not running mine in stereo. Again, for me with any hair or dirt in my sound it is just REALLY hard to get the pedal's rotating sound to sound even remotely like the sound that I am inputting to the pedal. To hear it, the top end or horn simulation can get mighty abrasive and brittle sounding. If you turn it down, then you cannot hear the Leslie effect like you probably wanted to. And my beef with the thing is at fast rotating speeds. And having to go into a different "programming mode'' for each knob / control, does not help with that dialing in process either. One more time the pedal's Leslie emulation sounds really REALLY good. But the coloration that it adds to hairier guitar sounds, and the fact that you use two different modes to set the volume, it can make tough ultimately to get the volume where you want it. It does for me anyway. Oh btw, I am fairly OCD about the sounds that I "try" to achieve with my meager setup. And maybe THAT is my problem.
It doesn't have stereo input, only stereo output. The L input is only there so you can run a stereo signal through the pedal when it's in bypass. If the pedal is in bypass, both signals will pass through. If it's active, the L input is ignored while the R/Mono input is used.
No discussion on signal chaining. Disappointed. Front of amp, where best inline with other pedals, effects loop, or even running stereo would have been very useful to know.
If you want the real deal rotary effect get the GSi BURN, nothing compares to that. This Neo thing is the same price, and the GSi is for keyboards, organs, etc. not for guitars only like this Neo pedal
+Casey Trombley ~ Keyboard guys use this unit all the time. There must be a hundred YT videos of them doing just that. But for the same money you can pick up a used Roland GR-20 and have a much more realistic organ sound along with a hundred others.
@@ebookpioneers @caseytrombley4807 For the price of pedals nowadays you can buy a nice Leslie cab from the 70s. ...if it's really about "realistic sound".

This pedal is honestly best demoed by a Hammond or organ sim
Why skip speaker mode 3? That is the closest to the real 122 tone
Mine doesn't take the stereo input signal for some reason.. only the R/Mono input.. am I missing something??

Rotary simulators sound much better in stereo rather than mono. In my opinion this is the closest you can get to a real Leslie for guitar.

This is a keyboard pedal , ridiculous test
