wardcheryldarcie thank you ✌️❤️
Hello Jonathan, I saw a lot of videos of the RK5 V2, but it was yours that helped me take the final decision. So, thank you very much! :) I got the unit yesterday and it's beautiful! The only disappointment is that mine came in a cardboard box and not the "tin box" like yours.
oh...cutting costs..✌❤
Another cool video Jonathan. Im subscribing.
Jowel Moises Ubaña welcome to the channel!!✌️❤️
Great playing there mate.
Thank you Ian!
Nice review. I played mine in high gain mode into the fx loop return of a boogie MV combo and it sounded thick and meaty!! Had to crank the treble knobs though
Very nice!
Excellent review 👍
Thank you✌️❤️
Great video! I have version 1 since day one. Been using it for the last 5 years until recently. The OMG side is great. I too wish it had a loop send return option. Looking into getting version2. You might have talked me into it.
🤓✌
OMG now that works ...sweet
🤓✌
So glad to find you did a video on this! You’re actually my go-to musician/reviewer because I feel all your impressions are genuine and true.
I’m joining the army and want some kind of small, headphone amp for after I’m finished basic training and doing my trades training. Did you ever try this with headphones and did it sound fairly good?
No I did not!! Stay safe when you are in the army! ✌🤓
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thank you Jon, bless you!
Hi Jonathan, interesting piece!
You have a special tone, no matter which guitar it is. I enjoy listening to you.
Best regards fm Zurich!
Danke!! ✌🤓
jip he is amazing!
I thought for a second you were opening a box of biscuits.
Joke aside, that intro was stellar.
georgesabitpol thanks man.. you are right. Like a box of cookies✌️❤️
wow one of the best demos of this pedal so far. those fingernails..must be a pro guitarist 😁 RK is such an amazing musician. only thing surpassing his guitar playing is his own amazing vocals.
You’re right... he’s an incredible musician✌️
Amazing they attach adaptors !
✌️❤️
Good Vid Jon! I’m really interested in this Unit, I wish it had a dedicated Chorus but maybe the ROTO Feature will work in place. Please keep up the Good Work my Friend. Cheers from the US!
Hi rick.. yes you can get chorus with some adjusting.. but sadly no chorus and delay together ✌️❤️
Excellent demo and superb playing. I real liked the original, but you have inspired me to purchase the new one. You get one of the most pleasant, beautiful and Harmonically rich lead tones reminiscent of Flying in a Blue Dream Joe Satriani
Thank you✌️❤️
Like your music...very nice
Steve Lee thank you steve ✌️❤️
The first few seconds of your playing sold me, got that smooth jazz vibe.. at 65, I just want to lighten the weight of my gear as much as possible. and def straight into the mixer or PA. currently using Headrush Gigboard at 7 lbs.. now comparing the RK5 with the DSM Simplifier mk2, both same price..
Glad to help
Still very happy with my original Flyrig Plexi.
The new ones look interesting I have to admit. A lot of useful features, same great sound.
Kiran Sequeira ✌️❤️
I have the V1 RK5, along with the original CALI Flyrig. These new ones do have more features, but I'm not quite ready to upgrade. Maybe later this year?
@@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
That’s very cOoL Jonathan....☝️🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶🎸🎶👍
Thank u ✌️❤️
Great video and excellent playing. By the way, what kind of video software do you use, if i may ask?
Stig B. Jensen thank you.. I’m using Moavi ✌️
Good job
Thank you Chuck✌️❤️
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...
Well like you, when I first saw/heard the RK5, I was sold! Haters will be haters.. don’t waste your time on them ✌️😄
Same thing with the all-tube crowd slapping a pretty solid state drive pedal in front of their amps. Uninformed opinions at best. The pedal sounds good AND convincing. What more could you want.
@@Nightingale1887 It really does feel like a good tube amp under your fingers.
@@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.
@@matthewbolduc2714 That sounds amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Love your playing bro !
I’m used to your high level sound from your helix !
This device is not as pristine yet you get great tone out of it !
t perry thanks brother.. I didn’t spend much time tweaking.. its actually pretty good ✌️❤️
Hello from Savannah Georgia !
Howdy ✌️❤️
Gracias por Agregar la traducción al Español Gran video amo ese Pedal, soy fiel seguidor a tu canal exitos amigo.
Gracias Mucho!!✌❤
Ok, help me out guys. Fly Rig 5 V2 or RK5 V2. I love that the RK has a Compressor, the V2 seems to be more versatile on the OD side.
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 :(
Touching on the subject of worship will be opening up a can of worms..(so to speak)...I dont know..I might just do a video about guitars in worship ?✌🤓
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.
Great review!! Thank you. Would you recommend using the XLR straight into a interface for recording? Thanks again
yes✌🤓
Thank you 🙏
I love pedal strips like this. I'm still waiting for a company to Make an Ambient atmospheric pedal that does it all. Like a sweet cavernous, shimmers and airy reverbs and killer clean and od sims with delays and choruses boosts and that would be my pedal. Oh and looper. Heheheh.
Robert Clark lol yes that would be lovely indeed!!✌️❤️
Try the valeton Dapper indie! I have one, and it ticks all of the boxes...
Hello,,I always see your videos,,,you are very clear in explanation and play very well,,,I have a question: if you compare the sound of this rk5 with ts9 or this kind of overdrive, you feel that the rk5 sounds with more bright or "harsh"? 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
Yes it is kinda on the bright side✌️❤️
Awesome Beautiful playing Jonathan you are awesome Bro !! I think i might have to buy one of these TECH 21 great Sounding pedal and some great feature's awesome Jonathan ❤🎸👍👍😊
Massimo Salvatore ✌️❤️
It would be awesome if you could help Tech 21 design a pedal for worship music.
✌💙
Hi Jon, what type of GnL Guitar you used in this video? Sounds great 💕
G&L Fullerton Deluxe Comanche
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks for your info 🎵
Hi...Nice video...By the way...I was wondering if this multi-effect pedal is more suitable for strats and teles as opposed to les pauls...? Will this pedal sound good with a les pau guitarl...? Sorry for the noob question...Thanks...!
Yes, absolutely✌❤
Hallo erstmal - pretty good sound and not much space on the pedalboard with all effects on. I like those "funky" tune at the beginning, why can i buy so less music from you? Even my wife comes into my tiny "studio" to listen - she recognises when you are on the speakers 😎.
Thanks for the review. 🖖
Lol!! Say hi to her for me!! ✌️❤️
This concept is awesome...I think if they took it just one step further and stereo'd it up at the delay with a pre and post button, it would be even better...just personal preference, of coarse...thanks for covering this!
You’re right.. actually all time based effects in stereo would be so awesome ✌️❤️
Hi, is there a difference in the tone when using the XLR out (as you said, there is a speaker simulator on it) ,,, vs the line out?
Yes there is...✌🤓
@@JonIsJustTooLoud wow, thanks jon, coz i just recently bought it, but haven't tried the XLR out yet,, i'm so exited to test it, tnx again!!!
@@KeyboardMac no worries😉
Hey Jon, which one would you choose between this and the Nux Cerberus?
Asking as I own the Cerberus but considering buying the RK5 V2 now..
If i'm using an amp..i would choose this!✌💙
Thanks Jon! I bought the RK5, compared both the Cerberus and Tech21 and decided to keep the RK5 v2.
Hi thanks for your great review. Question the issue with the popping sound on the reverb/tuner switch is this inherent with all the units ? Thanks
I’m afraid so
Thanks For your reply mate. I guess I’ll just have to live with it. I will just have to remember to mute the out puts on my desk when tuning
Hi, nice sound and 350€ is not expencive for that is a good option. LG Detlev
Detlev Cohrs ✌️❤️
Where did you buy this unit from please?

Or from sweetwater
Hi Jonathan… rk5 v2 or hx stomp?
HX stomp!!✌️❤️
I'm curious if you can use the XLR out to front of house with speaker simulation and the 1/4" out to your amplifier at the same time...
Yes you can
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I couldn't bare the suspense any longer, I just went and picked one up. I am blown away by how great this sounds direct to the board. It blows all the digital modeling stuff out of the water and super tidy, space saving solution.
J Dub lol... Yea it’s a great tool to have if you need sumthin small and portable. But it Erik not replace my Helix ✌️❤️
Can you tell me if they changed the drive sound at all on the V2? I have a V1 and am thinking of upgrading but don't want to lose anything tonewise. Thanks.
Yes they have...just slight;y..I have sold the unit...cant hep you much ✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud ok. I was wondering if it was a change for the better or otherwise? Thanks 😊
Ser can you answer me If I can use the 2 outs (jack and xlr) at the same time?
You should be able too but only the xlr Have a speaker sim✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud it's perfect, thabk you)
Hi Fratelo Jonathan I'm thinking of buying Fly rig RK5 V2 can you please tell me if they sound good going into Amplifiers Kind regards Brother God Bless ❤🎸😊
Ciao Massimo! It will work but I personally think this unit is meant to work directly to the board. You can still use it via the amp’s effects loop. Or just use it directly to the amp, with or without activating the amp section of the FlyRig ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thanks Brother have a good Friday following a great weekend ! Love your playing Fratello Jonathan ❤🎸👍
Mooer black truck floor rig.check it out.much better for the money👍...
What .no reply.😕......
Mike Cooper what?? You expecting one mike?? Hahaha. I was actually searching for the Mooer truck to review but no luck in getting hold of one. In any case, I got this because I’m kinda familiar with the layout and the sound✌️😄
@@JonIsJustTooLoud ok.😊...
i dont know but each time i read "richie kotzen" i have to giggle like hell :D you know what "kotzen" means in german? *giggles like a girl* kotzen....just google it :D
Unfreundlich no no.. hahaha i don’t want to.. he’s one of my favorite guitarist out there ✌️❤️
