@@davelanciani-dimaensionx I do like the addition of the Tuner and XLR out though. Also.. I think on the new ones.. You can put the boost before OR after the distortion. That's cool. Still happy with mine.. Might keep it and get a new one too. Whichever way you look at it... Great value, and built solid. Not had even one problem with mine in 6 years and I use it every day

I have had the RK5-v1 since it was released and I saw a Brett Kingman demo of it. Sold! When I heard that Kotzen had worked with Tech21 to re-engineer the pedal to work for him today, I waited with bated breath. It was worth the wait. This is basically all you need to do any gig. All in one small, light pedal. I really want to proclaim my love for it on a mountain top. lol I tried to tell someone about it on a forum today and they said.. It sounds okay, but it is still digital. I reminded him that the entire drive section of the pedal is all analog, but he could not get it. He didn't want to get it. He argued about it. It is nice to see you showing this gem the love. I have gigged with this and it always works and is super easy to plug and go. No amp to drag around. You are a smart guy and stay open minded. Even in our advanced age it is very important to keep our eyes, and ears open. The cost of this is around $329 USD, which is worth every penny... PS. Richie Kotzen uses two of them at the same time, so he can use Fuzz and Roto on one and OMG and Delay on the other. Keep on rocking it J-Man...

@@tjnugent62 Yes. Especially so if you hook it up to a powered stage monitor system and a guitar amp 'at the same time'. A good tube amp and PA system bi-amped in this way will sound very much like a great tube amp. Playing with a small guitar amp simultaneously with an Electrovoice Zlx15 powered stage monitor produces a very very tubelike sound. It has a power and softness in the sound. Maybe the Sansamp factor ... And bi-amping. This sounds way better than a good tube amp alone. And it sounds great by itself thru the PA or powered speaker because the switches and controls enable you to warm up and supercharge the sound, without an amp. This rig enables a player to use a lot of great approaches.

Hey Jonathan, nice playing. When you mentioned you use this unit in church I really tuned in. I use the original Fly Rig 5 to play in church. I prefer the sound of the Plexi over the OMG (even though I prefer the red/black color :) ). I'd love to know how you overcome the limitations of the unit with today's modern worship music...dotted 8th delay, shimmer reverb, swells, etc. I love the simplicity and portability of the unit...as well as the great tones and it being all-analog signal path, but I really wish it had CHORUS separate from delay and the ability to get different delay modes such as dotted 8th and some different reverbs such as shimmer. So many worship guitarists have gone Helix, but I have avoided that because I don't need 100 amps and 250 effects (or the price tag). They are cool and sound very good though. I've just been thinking of how I can achieve the worship tones that are prevalent in so many recordings these days. Thanks and I appreciate your thoughts and your playing. Blessings. For my own original Christian hard rock/metal band...I have a Mooer 005, but I've been thinking of getting the PRS MT15 and running my Fly Rig into the front end...that will essentially give me a 3 channel amp with a nice clean with reverb, a Plexi crunch tone, and that 6L6 glorious roaring metal gain channel on the amp. I still don't have chorus though :(

The V2 can do dotted 8th. You press a delay change button. This RK has roto, I think the v2 would have the dotted 8th button there. If you don't have dotted 8th setting, just tap in a triplet....... Also, look at the NU-X Atlantic reverb delay pedal. Check out Pete Thorn's review. It does shimmer, and all that ambient stuff you're probably looking for.

I want to buy this for simple jams but maybe is not the type of overdrive that I want,,,,I use a BBpreamp as a crunch sound, and add a ts9 for overdriven solo
