Tech 21 Richie Kotzen RK5 Signature Fly Rig (v2) - w/ Signature OMG Overdrive - available in an updated third version - https://www.ladkorguitars.com/item/tech-21-richie-kotzen-rk5-signature-fly-rig-v3-new-id2673 The Richie Kotzen RK5 Signature Fly Rig was developed in close cooperation with Richie, his input was invaluable. He is meticulous in all aspects of playing, singing, songwriting and tone. Richie's attention to detail on the RK5 was no less. Since the debut of the original RK5 in 2014, Richie's needs have changed - both on the road and off. Therefore, we jointly developed version 2 to add some new features and follow the same form factor as later Fly Rigs, such as Bass and Acoustic. The RK5 v2 contains the same delay with tap tempo, a powerful booster, and Richie's Signature OMG overdrive. New features include a separate reverb with a choice of room size, a rotating speaker effect (rotovibe), compression, fuzz, a headphone setting, and an XLR output. Another innovation is the on/off button for the SansAmp section. Richie previously used his RK5 with the SansAmp on or off. Now it is either on or off during performances, so he no longer needs a separate footswitch. When Richie is on tour with a constantly changing backline on stage, he can always get his sound at any volume. In Richie's latest releases, The Damned and Riot, all guitars were recorded directly into the line. If you have seen Richie on tour in recent years (and if you haven't, you really should), you might have noticed that he uses two RK5s. He continued this practice with the version 2 unit so that it is possible to quickly switch between different settings for each of the effects. Richie is actively involved in the entire design process. The professional and personal relationship with Richie is an important event in our history. BOOST + COMPRESSION BOOST - a separate pre-booster for solos, up to approximately 12 dB. The COMP feature uses old 50s and 60s all-analog FET technology, which is inherently warmer, more transparent, and more musical than other compression methods. OMG OVERDRIVE + FUZZ OMG is based on the Richie Kotzen Signature OMG pedal, which provides a wide range of overdrive, from clean to aggressive. You can add personality to a clean amplifier channel or use it to push an amplifier's overdrive. Controls: Drive for overall gain and overdrive level, and Tone for adjusting treble and midrange frequencies. The FUZZ switch changes the character and attack of the overdrive to a fuzz-style sound, making it thicker and grittier. SANSAMP Fully analog SansAmp technology allows the RK5 to run directly into recording station mixers and speaker systems, as well as supplement the sound of guitar amplifiers. It can be used for line recording and enhancing previously recorded tracks. The RK5's SansAmp section contains a 3-band active EQ, as well as Level and Drive controls. To overdrive the sound, you can use the Drive, the Boost functions, and add overdrive from the OMG section. Or all three. Each method provides a different sound. REVERB + TUNER The separate footswitchable reverb has a single smooth control. It provides smooth adjustment, making it easy to set the desired amount of reverb. Choice between a large and small "room". The chromatic tuner is activated using the REVERB / TUNER footswitch. You simply hold the button to engage the tuner, which mutes the instrument's sound when in operation. DELAY + ROTO WITH TAP TEMPO The DELAY sounds like a vintage tape delay. It contains controls: Delay Time, Repeat Amount, and a separate "Tap Tempo" button. There is also a Drift control that adds a random, unpredictable element to the modulation for a vintage sound. ROTO changes the delay function to a rotating speaker effect. Tap Tempo then changes the rotation speed. Just like in the original device, it will gradually transition from slowing down to speeding up to reach a new speed. At the same time, Drift changes the distance between the virtual microphone and the rotating speaker. At the maximum level, it adds a tremolo effect, modulating the volume synchronously with the pitch modulation.
