The CALI's distortion section is based upon the CALI/US Metal SansAmp Character Series pedals, which were inspired by amps in the mid '70s from the then-boutique shop over on the West Coast. While those hulking stacks are known to sound best at ear-bleed levels, the CALI section can painlessly transform your sound at the kick of a switch. You can completely change the personality of a clean amp tone or use it as an instant mod with a dirty amp tone. Engaging the Boost function is like having an extra "12AX7" pre-amp gain stage. Activated via its own footswitch, you can kick in up to 21dB of pre-amp boost. The range allows you to go from a state of mild overdrive to insane gain. Boost also operates independently to punch up any of the other functions. Sample settings in the owner's manual include the following styles: CALI: Metallica Clean and Heavy, Santana, Foo Fighters/Everlong Clean and Dirty, Eagles/One of These Nights, and Dumble.

  • - SansAmp tube amplifier emulator, is pre-voiced for clean tones. It includes 3-band active EQ, Level,
  • - and Drive to adjust the overall amount of gain and overdrive.
  • - Reverb, within the SansAmp section, is based upon the Boost RVB pedal. It emulates the rich ambiances of a vintage spring reverb without clattery pings, canyons of doom, or other annoying artifacts.
  • - Boost, kicks in up to 21dB of pre-amp gain. It can be used independently to boost the SansAmp and/or DLA functions, as well as on its own to boost the gain of your amp.
  • DLA is based upon the Boost DLA pedal. It is voiced to give you the sounds of a vintage tape echo
  • - and features Level, Time, Repeats, and Drift, which adds a random element to the modulation for authentic textures. A dedicated Tap Tempo switch makes it super simple to just tap in the delay tempo you want during your performance.
  • - All analog signal path; reverb and delay are mixed in parallel.
  • - Get 5 "must-have" gigging pedals for 1/3 the cost at 1/3 the size, without sacrificing pro quality tone.
  • - All metal housing in gunmetal finish.
  • - Metal footswitches and jacks.
  • - 1/4-inch high-impedance input.
  • - 1/4-inch low impedance output.
  • - Silent-switching, custom footswitch actuators.
  • - Utilizes included "auto-switching" 12V DC power supply. Self-adjusts to 100V-240V. It can be used anywhere in the world with the proper plug/travel adapter for the host country.

Tested the FlyRig 5 first through a Fender Pro Reverb, (40 watts). Sounds great! Blonde side very Fender-ish. Plexi and Cali both good. Through a tube electric guitar amp the Plexi/Cali can stand alone. When using the DI out to a LD Maui 28 linear array the Plexi/Cali didn’t stand alone so well… more for adding more dirt to the Blonde channel. Sounds very good through the Maui 28, my own disco! The big surprise was when I put the FlyRig5 in front of my little Laney Cub 8. The Cub 8 is a 5 watt, single 6V6, class A amp w/ a tiny 8” speaker, (they’re no longer being made by Laney). It sounded spectacular, very 3D. And Loud! Like a 25 watt amp. That’s what I’ll be traveling with in the foreseeable future. I had a FlyRig, the first or second type issued and was disappointed. The FlyRig 5 was a big good surprise. The reverb is good, 2 settings: Big room, and little room. Big room good for clean, Little room for dirt. The delay section is good with ‘Drift’ which sounds to me like the modulation on a DMM. Now, I can take the FR 5, the Laney Cub 8, a mini wah pedal, and leave my pedalboard at home. I got a Falken battery power supply to run it with, it lasts for 12 hours of playing.
