Description
Introducing the Neo Instruments micro Vent 16, a compact stompbox that packs a punch of a classic Vibratone. This effects pedal captures the iconic rotary speaker simulation technology that Neo Instruments is renowned for, and brings it to your fingertips. What sets it apart is its analog blend circuit, which allows for latency-free parallel processing of wet and dry signals, delivering that classic rotary sound that is so sought after.
The micro Vent 16 is designed to serve up a newly designed simulation of a Vibratone guitar amp. With the algorithm simulating the capture of a Vibratone with one mic, you can adjust the distance from the cabinet, giving you greater control over your sound. This pedal is ideal for adding that final polish to your rhythm and lead guitars, allowing them to sit perfectly in the mix.
The micro Vent 16 comes with two adjustable speeds, adding to its versatility. You can control Speed 1 continuously from slow to fast, while Speed 2 is selected via a 3-way switch offering the standard speeds - slow, fast, and stop. The creative combinations are limitless. The Ramp parameter lets you determine the acceleration and deceleration between the two speeds, providing you with more ways to experiment with your sound.
