    Default NPD! Tech21 RK5 FlyRig

    Received today. Wanted to stop lugging an amph everywhere. Guitar> RK5> PA. Thats it. No fuss. Here's the blurb from Tech 21: http://tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/rk5.html

    Set it up tonight at practice. Was blown away with the quality of tones this little box has. More to come later.

    Anwesome pedal. Have checked it last year. Seemed very tiny, but was sturdy built. Sound quality was convincing, especially the overdrive's Plexi sounds were very organic.

    Congrats!!!

    The more I play this thing is the more I'm liking it. The OD from the OMG is warm and organic, and the boost nails that body in the solos. I've set the SansAmp to the edge of breakup and kick in the OMG for a little more in the choruses. Roll down the volume on the guitar, kick out the OMG and kick in the DLY with SansAmp for the verse section....sweet. Next, run it through an amp, see what happens.

    I need this... its nice... no.. it's awesome to have a great, reliable sound in such a small footprint.

    Gigged with this every weekend since.
    Thoughts: When running straight to PA, the level on the sansamp is usually about 9:00, and the low (bass) is set really low... 7-8:00. Its a relief to go to smaller churches and not have to set up an amp, just run through the PA. Reliable tone, this is a great unit. For bigger stages though, I'll lug an amp. YMMV.
