Meticulous about every facet of his playing, singing, songwriting and tone, Richies attention to the details of his RK5 was nothing less. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the debut of the original RK5 in 2014, Richies needs have changed, both on and off the road. Therefore, we jointly developed a version 2, to incorporate some new features and follow the same form factor as later Fly Rigs, such as the Bass and Acoustic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe RK5 v2 retains the same delay with tap tempo, a powerful boost, and Richies Signature OMG overdrive. New features include an independent reverb with choice of room size, a rotary speaker mode, compression, fuzz, a tuner, headphone capability and an XLR Output. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother difference is an on\/off button for the SansAmp section. Richie previously would use his RK5 both with and without the SansAmp engaged. Currently, its either on or off during stage shows, so he no longer needs a dedicated footswitch. When Richies on tour with ever-changing backlines, hes always able to get his tone, and at lower volume. On Richies latest releases, \u003cem\u003eThe Damned\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eRiot\u003c\/em\u003e, all the guitars were recorded direct.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf youve seen Richie on tour in recent years (and if you havent, you simply must), you may have noticed he uses two RK5s. He has continued this practice with Version 2 so he can quickly switch between different settings of each of the effects. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichie is actively involved and responsive in the entire design process. Having both a working and personal relationship with Richie, is a tremendous highlight in our history. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"8\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" width=\"400\" height=\"790\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.tech21nyc.com\/products\/sansamp\/images\/rk5v2_boost_inset.jpg\" alt=\"Acoustic Fly Rig Comp\" width=\"400\" height=\"359\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4 class=\"intro_text\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"t21_red_header\"\u003eBOOST + COMPRESSION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp class=\"intro_text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOOST \u003c\/strong\u003eis an independent pre-Boost for solos, up to approx 12dB.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"intro_text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMP Switch \u003c\/strong\u003eengages old school, all-analog, FET-based technology from the 50s and 60s, which is inherently warmer, more transparent and more musical than other methods of compression. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"intro_text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"t21_text\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.tech21nyc.com\/products\/sansamp\/images\/rk5v2_sansamp_inset.jpg\" alt=\"Acoustic Fly Rig\" width=\"400\" height=\"359\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd rowspan=\"3\" valign=\"top\" width=\"437\"\u003e \u003ctable style=\"width: 437px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd width=\"407\" height=\"507\"\u003e \u003cp class=\"intro_text\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tech21nyc.com\/products\/amps\/images\/dug_rear.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.tech21nyc.com\/products\/sansamp\/images\/rk5v2_omg_inset.jpg\" alt=\"Acoustic Fly Rig\" width=\"400\" height=\"359\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4 class=\"intro_text\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"t21_red_header\"\u003eOMG OVERDRIVE + FUZZ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp class=\"intro_text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOMG\u003c\/strong\u003e is based upon the Richie Kotzen Signature OMG pedal, which provides a wide range of overdrive, from clean to aggressive.
