The Tech 21 Richie Kotzen RK5 Signature Fly Rig v2 is a multi-effects pedalboard designed in close collaboration with Richie Kotzen, offering a comprehensive range of features tailored to his playing style. The pedal features an analog SansAmp section for amp emulation, providing warmth and dimension expected from a vintage tube amp. The Boost section offers an independent 12dB clean boost for saturated overdrive, while the Comp switch engages an old-school FET-based compressor for subtle smoothing or all-out squash.
The OMG overdrive section, based on Richie's signature pedal, delivers a wide range of overdrive from clean to aggressive, with the addition of a Fuzz button for a thick, wooly fuzz-style tone. The RK5 v2 also includes an independent reverb with a choice of room size, a rotary speaker mode, compression, and a tuner. The delay section offers vintage tape echo and roto effects, with a dedicated tap tempo switch for easy adjustment on the fly.
The pedal is equipped with a 1/4" instrument input, 1/4" main output, and an XLR balanced output. It features buffered bypass switching, a chromatic tuner, and operates on a 9V DC 200mA power supply (included). The all-analog signal path ensures high-quality sound and smooth response to playing dynamics. The pedal's compact design makes it a convenient all-in-one solution for guitarists, capable of replacing an entire pedalboard.
The RK5 v2 measures 12.5" L x 2.5" W x 1.25" H and weighs 20.7 oz. It is housed in a rugged, all-metal casing with metal footswitches and jacks, ensuring durability for stage use. The pedal also includes a silent-switching feature for seamless operation during performances.
The Tech 21 Richie Kotzen RK5 Signature Fly Rig v2 is a versatile and comprehensive multi-effects pedalboard, offering a wide range of tones and effects in a compact and robust package.
