I fried my first one with a different power supply. But pretty sure the ground was reversed. So as long as that matches, should be fine.
That being said, Tech21 isn't gouging for theirs, so may not be worth the risk.
I got about a half hour in to the unit last night and it’s so cool. The chorus is similar to my neo clone and the envelope filter is simple and tweakable to what I use it for. I like how the drive on the VT circuit has been dialed down a little bit without taking away from how good the circuit sounds. Boost works great when I want to beef up the drive. Tuner is convenient. Man, I love this thing so far. It’s nice to not have a big pedalboard in front of me. Super portable.
I've read through a lot of negative reviews here on this unit but they seem to only be centered around the Compressor and Octafilter but I guess it all depends on how much you regularly use Compression, Octave, Fuzz or Envelope. Obviously there are better stand alone options out there but for the casual user like myself, this pedal is nothing short of a dream. They are definitely usable with some tweaking.
Yeah, it's really a great little unit if you just want a touch of everything. Still love mine.
Anyone can recommend a battery operated headphone amp to mix the output (headphones or line level) with an auxiliary input? Something like the amPlug without any processing will be perfect (1/4" jack so no cable). Strictly for mobile use as I have other solution for home.
RE portable headphone amp...Phil Jones Big Head is exactly what you seek. I’ve got the same rig.
It's preference really. I guess it all depends on what you're looking to use the Fly Rig and Ultra for.
I always have the comp on but use boost, octave, and sansamp for extra grit and distortion. I plan on using the B7K Ultra as my main distortion and pre-amp (still waiting for it to arrive) and trying to figure out which order to put them and how to utilize the Sansamp at this point. My amp already has a great gain and overdrive circuit on it so it seems like I have options to plug and play with the tone.
The only complaint I have is the lack of an AUX input. That would have sealed a purchase for me.
Looks and sounds awesome to me!
Maybe an updated version?Brent
Seems like a great value. I don't have one but it does seem nice for those on a budget or want to ad a little something extra when playing live.... Just a quick ad, Tech 21 stated that they are adding a detuner to their chorus.
I would experiment and see what sounds good to you. Can’t go wrong either way IMO. BTW, why keep the Korg tuner when you could use the one on the fly rig?
I use the Flyrig for all my ampless gigs and it has worked great! I just use the sansamp section sometimes with the comp and every once in a while I use the chorus. Those three
sections sound awesome and the built in tuner makes this a perfect ampless solution!

I played around with the gated Fuzz on this unit last night and I love it. Can go from a light creamy style distortion to a full on nuclear bomb. The compressor matched up with it can smooth it out as well. I was using the OctaFilter section mostly for just an envelope but I have a Geezer Butler WAH coming in to take care of that aspect.
I picked one up in February. I love it. However, I'm a unique circumstance. My band has sound engineer and we have zero stage volume (minus the drums).
What sold it for me was the size, functionality as a headphone amplifier, DI and Comp.
Quality build, quality metal case and it first perfectly in my case.

Great question! Other than the fact that I like the accuracy and speed of the pitch black more than the fly rigs one, I also play in a metal band with my five string bass tuned down to A#. Haven't found another tuner able to register that low of a note and I don't like tuning off of the 12th fret
