THE BLACK HAZE 2 IS THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION FOR A RICH AND CREAMY DRIVE SOUND FOR YOUR BASS OR GUITAR, WHILE KEEPING A SOLID BOTTOM.

Three different drive types Experience a world of sonic possibilities with three different drive engines. Choose between a deep low-end fuzzy drive, a more gnarly overdrive with Normal selected, or the Thin position, which adds tightness and presence.

Blend clean and drive signal The new Blend control lets you precisely dial in the perfect balance between your clean signal and the gripping drive. We’ve included a convenient Gain adjustment pot inside the pedal to compensate for any volume drop at your desired mix setting.

The Black Haze 2 runs on 9V DC but can be powered by up to 18V DC for enhanced headroom.

Created with the bass player in mind, the Black Haze 2 is also suitable for guitar.

The original Fly Rig, introduced in 2014, was a true game-changer for players in all categories, from touring pros to bedroom hobbyists, and expanded into a series. Each Tech 21 Fly Rig is much more than a pedalboard. In a single pedal. And no board. Less than 13” long and weighing just over 20 oz., each sleek, compact unit embodies an entire rig. At each core, is the all-analog SansAmp, which makes it possible to go direct to a PA or studio mixers and computer interfaces. For effects, you have the essentials and the ability to add some fun stuff, too. What you don’t have are crackling patch cables, dying batteries or ground loops. No stinkin’ van, heavy flight cases, cable spaghetti, and no dead weight. No stressing over what to pack and agonizing over what to leave behind. No dreading cheesy backline loaners and overheating at the mere thought of your touring rig going down. With a Tech 21 Fly Rig, you can relax. For fly gigs across the globe, jamming at the local hang, and last minute recording sessions, you’ll be the first one ready to go. Just pop your Fly Rig into your guitar case or backpack and head for the door.

Rotosound UltraMag are the latest string offering from British string manufacturers Rotosound and wound with Alloy 52 - a unique blend of 52% Nickel and 48% Iron. Alloy 52 has a higher magnetic content than traditional nickel strings helping to deliver more output, volume and sustain. Not to mention the added benefit of longer string life. The wrap material also has a low coefficient of friction helping to improve tuning stability no matter the environment you find yourself playing in.

Rotosound materials expert, John Doughty, explained the science behind the strings;

“With a composition of 52% Nickel and 48% iron, this highly magnetic string will certainly accentuate those middles and lows over their steel counterparts. Designed for use in the aerospace industry and high-end electronics, the low coefficient of expansion will help maintain tuning in wide-ranging environments. With its corrosion resistant properties and its unique blend of sound, it is a truly a string for the discerning player seeking that extra tonal character.”
