Ha! Yep! Rotosphere!! That's what I use. I've never tried the Korg (way too big), but the Rotosphere kicks ****.

I was wondering whether Joe had tried the Neo Ventilator - from the online clips (not usually the best way to review a pedal, I know!!) it sounds amazing - closest pedal I've heard to the real thing.

I've been keeping my eye on the Ventilator ever since it came out. At $500 new, I won't be buying one anytime soon (I wouldn't pay $500 for a new Rotosphere either, I got mine used for $275.)
From all the reviews I've read over the last year, there seems to be a 50/50 split of those who like the Ventilator better or the Rotosphere better. A few things I've read:
Ventilator sounds too sterile & digital, drive sound is better on Rotosphere.
Ventilator can be more subtle with it's "mic distance" control.
Rotosphere is noisy when run in front of the amp (silent in an fx loop), but has a more organic tone & feel (it's analog, the Vent is digital.)
Ventilator is king, period.
Ventilator is really good, but I'm not selling my RS for it.
This review is what killed my GAS for the Ventilator (not saying I won't buy one used in the future... I'd still like to try it):
"I've owned the RS for a few years, and bought Ventilator with the intention of selling the RS to recoup some $. I A/B'd them for 2 weeks and found that they were so close it wasn't worth the ~$200 delta, so I returned the Ventilator for a refund. In fact I think I slightly preferred the fatter sound of the RS. Either way, they're both excellent faux Leslie effects."
