Tech 21 bass fly rig

[ProfFrink]

The original rollout date for the bass fly rig was mid-April, then moved to May.
Is there a schedule available for the rollout?

There are now 4 different available dates on 4 different music sites,
everywhere from June through September.

Just trying to understand the process.

Thanks,
Kate

FWIW Thomann has them listed as available on May 5th.

Sweetwater still shows mid May. Mine has been ordered since they first went up.

 

[ProfFrink]

Thomann seem to have updated availability to June 10th.

Bad news...

 

[Joe Smithberger]

Glad I cancelled my Pre-Order but I still want one of these.

 

[BassikLee]

Sweetwater still shows mid May. I have one on order. The only thing this will do that my current board won't is fit in my gig bag. I don't NEED it. That said, I want it. I'll wait.

 

[BBQV]

I'll wait too. A little longer it seems, but still...

I just read up on what the filter/fuzz/octave thingy does. Now i want one.
The one gig where i don't need my big board, i usually just bring some preamp, and a LPF as the bare essentials. I set the preamp and LPF so i get an oldschool tone.
When i take the time and assemble my PT nano, i put on a tuner and a comp to fill it up.
And i recon i can do exactly that with the flyrig.
phew.

Did the original demo mention a headphone mode? I visited the site yesterday and under "other features" its lists headphone mode button? I do not remember that, although I could very well be mistaken. Could the delayed release be due to a revision of the original design? Again, all speculation.

 

[BassikLee]

It was there in all the namm demo videos

According to one mob out here in Oz, they already have it stocked for $393. I am going to call to confirm that before I hit 'Add to Cart'.

This Bass Fly Rig seems like it would be perfect for me but one improvement they could make right away would be to make it run on phantom power.

 

[BassikLee]

They've said it has too much going on inside to run on phantom.

 

[Hamish MacCleod]

Well... given the delays I cancelled my order. Since I am splitting my signal I decided to keep the lows clean through my VTRM and run the highs through my Pitchfork and Flyrig5.

There's now a pdf manual on Tech21's website. Should answer most questions people have until it's finally released:
Invalid Link Removed

 

[BassikLee]

That's interesting. Either they changed it since namm, or the manual has an error. Anyone else catch it???

Three guesses.

 

[BassikLee]

Never mind. I was looking at the signal path backwards.

Looking forward to this.

 

[ga_edwards]

Haha - I did the same thing at first. I've long wondered why multifx manufactures run their units left to right, not right to left at you would with stomp boxes. Tech21 comes along and corrects this issue and confuses us!

I note however they haven't disclosed the signal patch of the octafilter section. I wonder which order the fuzz, octave and filter sit?

 

[J.D. Detroit]

I see 5/9, 5/25 at GC, 6/15 at Sam Ash. I'll put this on the back-burner until they're in stock and ready.
Still looking forward to checking one out.

Interesting they put the compressor first in the chain.
