  • Richie had the idea and had a friend of his make a case and put delay, sans amp and RK distortion pedal in it.
    Tech21 saw it and said they’d make him a production model.

  • Arrrgh. I watched 20 minutes and he never changed the value of the „range“. This would have changed sound dramatically. Very poor.

  • I mostly like your reviews. But you should know what Q on the envelope means. The same as on an Equalizer. The sharpness or quality of the effect. And range is the frequency.

  • Those built-in effect SUCK. I'm glad I found this video and now know not to buy it. Better off getting the smaller SansAmp Bass Driver DI.

  • Seems that the Fly Rig is very convenient tool for Touring Bassists and Sound Crew!
    Let’s face it,..on most gigs in a band,..(and you’re NOT the Star in the group)..you’re NOT gonna need/get to use too many FX on tunes anyway unless they have been produced with the specific tones!

    Plus,..if you’re doing your job in the “Bass Role”…you won’t need so much anyhow….but with this unit at least you CAN variate the sounds or perhaps get to play around with ideas to fatten up things.
    But best yet is you can be assured to have a great tone ANYWHERE you hit!!!..????????????✨????????????????That’s Cool!!

  • Love it. I'd be totally sold if it had a "blend" knob to mix the sansamp sound with the dry sound of the bass like the VT bass DI

  • Xlr out is important to connect or can we directly connect to the amp out put? I bought it last week but couldn’t get any power with the adaptor I am worried please help me out to connect

  • You could just use the FX return on amps to bypass the amps pre-amp and not worry about the tonal differences from running just DI. You'll get some from the speakers but significantly less without any potential preamp coloration.

  • Sansamp Bass Driver is way much better. I compare it side by side when I bought the Bass Driver. Just my two cents.

  • This whole line could learn a thing or two from the bass rig. Pre/post boost switch and an XLR out would be great on my RK5

  • Disappointed in you Captain! Why didn't you break all the rules and plug a guitar into the Bass Amp? You could have been on to something just like the guys who discovered the Fender Bassman made a great guitar rig.

  • Hey Captain! It's not almost the ability to in-ear without needing an amp. I've used my Bass Fly Rig to do just that. Played more than a few gigs where my entire rig fit right in the bass guitar case. DI comes out of the side via XLR and goes to the house. Bass to the input and a long extension for my headphones coming from the output with the headphone switch on. Use cable ties to keep the two cables together and tidy. It's nice not having to lug around a heavy amp and cab. For the metal gigs we played, I get a nice gritty tone from the sansamp section and hit it fairly hard with the compressor. Works mint! If Tech 21 would come out with another Fly Rig oriented towards metal players, I'd ask for the Sansamp Bass Driver DI circuitry instead of the VT bass circuitry the Fly Rig has. That and a bit more comprehensive compressor. Eliminate the chorus and Octafilter units and add a real distortion unit. Include the boost as well but instead of the pre/post option, give me a second channel that I can assign as my distortion and blend in with the dry as I see fit.

  • So I can just swap my entire pedalboard with this single one, same offects 😀 all in one
    BUT there is a big problem.. it lacks of drive switch on the board, while on my mxr distortion, where you can keep eq clean sound and only with a second switch engage Drive. Here you can only have drive sound, or equalized one. A big miss for me..

  • Phenomenal demo, great job.  I think I personally prefer the sound of the BOSS ME50B.

    Reply
  • Q, at least in EQs stands for "Quality" and changes the width of the frequencies affected. High Q means a small range of frequencies around the center…

    Reply
  • You guys should review the sans amp bass driver di pedal. The pedal that most bass players use

    Reply
  • The other Tech21 amp emulation pedals also work great for bass. The Blonde is FAT and clear, great vintage sound.

    Reply
  • I vote for Mick and Pete to demo the "regular FR5". I'm especially interested in hearing it plugged straight into your recording interface (not into an amp).

    Leave the Kotzen FR5 for Bea.

  • Intro reminds me of so many bands I've been involved with – trying desperately to get the attention of my bandmates, but they're staring at their hands

  • when you want just fuzz or octave, you turn the Q all the way down, and the range knob acts a a tone control.

    Reply
  • Wah Q controls the size of the frequency boosted at toe down/toe up positions (smaller is always better to get classic wah sounds), Range controls the range of sweepable frequencies (usually lows to mids, low mids to high mids, mids to highs).
