Tech 21 Steve Harris Fly Rig

[bassmonkeee]

Yeah, really sounds amazing in those demos.

Great playing too.

I could totally see myself getting one of these sometime in the future.

Agreed all around. This has killed GAS for anything else at this point. I just put four new pedals on my board so I have to cool it for a bit, but this already has a spot reserved for it. When the other two pedals I've been interested in recently BOTH showed up in the classifieds for good prices, I didn't even consider them. That's.....that's not normal.

I've shipped the original FlyRig back, and the SH1 has been preordered. I'm impatient to get it so I can try it on some gigs.

 

[Arthur U. Poon]

Tim's soundclips sound incredible! The tones he's getting out of the SH Flyrig are right up my alley. And TWO mid controls.

I'm a newcomer to overdriven bass tone, and running separate Clean and Dirty signals. The GED-2112 is the cornerstone of my amp setup, I absolutely love it.

Tech 21: You're killing me!!!

I don't hear much so far that I can't get with the the VTDI and/or YYZ, but I'll probably get one anyway because these Tech21 Sansamps are my favourite pedals!

@Gefilter1001 - do you have the VT, or have had it in the past? It took on a new lease of life for me when I figured out the character control is also a mid control, so I can boost it to 3 o'clock to get the clank I want, then back off the mids to compensate.

This looks very interesting.

Does anyone know if the channel select has a lazy pot like the pbddi or is it a direct switch?

Also, are you stuck with the same settings for both channel 1 and channel 2 with the only adjustable difference being the gain?

 

[Lowbrow]

Goddamit. DP-3X, YYZ, and now I'll need this one, too.

“Also, are you stuck with the same settings for both channel 1 and channel 2 with the only adjustable difference being the gain?”

Yeah. These seems to be the biggest limitation for me. Needing to use the same EQ for each channel. It’s really only a single channel with two gain/volume settings.

 

[dannybuoy]

I assumed Mid 1 and Mid 2 were for the 2 channels.

 

[hbabels]

I assumed Mid 1 and Mid 2 were for the 2 channels.

From what I've read is that one is pre gain and one is post gain but the 2 channels share the EQ if I'm understanding it correctly.

Correct, but you can have 2 different gain stages. So clean and dirty or just different levels

 

[hbabels]

Yeah the more I hear from this pedal the more I want it ! And just when I thought my pedalboard was done .... although apart from wireless this could almost replace my pedal board on some gigs where I don’t really need volume pedal or any other FX just clean and dirty. Or really clean ish and dirtier !

 

[Gefilter1001]

I'm loving the 2 level option as my Rics and Jazz basses are quite different as far as output and it's nice to not have to sacrifice tone or hold back digging in due to volume. Total package for me at the moment.

I just cant stop messing with this pedal...

Thank you! It really is my pleasure to do these.

 

[Jebberz]

This pedal sounds awesome with every bass. u suspect the player to play a role in this though. Good job

Now I know what I want for Christmas

i need to get it! im thinking for me, that pedals mids parallel with the dUg buttom and chunk sizzle could match what my big ol' rack used to do.

 

[Tieiririyi]

Can you please demo the James Jamerson preset? I wonder how this sounds with very mild overdrive. Can it imitate the old flip top sound?

+1 or even to hear as clean as it can go. I'm probably the only bass player who doesn't like to play with overdrive. Would be interested in the jamerson as well as the lynott settings.
