It’s supposed to be the closest reproduction of the B3 Tonewheel organ.
I'd love to try one, but they're beyond expensive for a full kit dual manual. The technology is really cool, but hard to justify when you can get the real deal for a fraction of what they're asking for one.
I have a Nord C1 with a Neo Ventilator and it's a pretty darn good imitation that I can throw in the car and haul around. I use it for recording parts for people and haven't had any complaints yet!

I will admit that the NEO Ventilator is the best "Leslie-In-A-Box" out there. Run it through the mains and peeps can't tell the difference. "B" players are not only playing the organ but the Leslie too. Fun stuff.
