Fender Rhodes Active Retrofit Preamp, EQ & Tremolo - The RetroFlyer

Description: NOTE: We now have black, all black, mini Mk1A and dark blue face plates (check the picture). PLUS a new Mk V model. Leave a note when you order if you have a preference. The RetroFlyer is an active preamp with volume, mid boost/cut and fully adjustable tremolo. Designed to fit perfectly into passive Mark I and II Fender Rhodes. (as well as any model with 2" hole spacing on the rail) Avion Studios is a leading parts manufacturer for Fender Rhodes. But new and innovative parts are not nearly as effective if there are decades old electronics in the way. The RetroFlyer was over a year in development and the results honestly exceeded our expectations. You never knew your Rhodes could sound this good! There is a lot of info available on our site but here are the bullet points:High-headroom, high-detail, low-noise preamp circuitHigh input impedance with full frequency and dynamic rangeOn board 3-position high pass filter (20/60/130hz)7db Wide-Q Mid Boost/CutTwin VCA true stereo tremoloCustom faceplate w/ custom dual concentric knobs - both made in the USA! (faceplate may not fit all models but enclosure will) High quality, name brand components throughout (Nichicon, Kemet, Bourns etc)Extensive power filtering, power supply includedComplete kit installs in less than 10 minutes - power supply and cables included.1 year warranty with lifetime support. Detailed manual included. Designed, tested and manufactured by Avion Studios in the USA.The Retroflyer sounds fantastic. Or rather, your Rhodes did this whole time, you just couldn't tell. The bass is full, the mids are clear and the highs shine. It's like taking a blanket off the sound of your Rhodes. As with all our products we worked very hard to keep the price low because we want everyone to be able to have the best sound for their Rhodes. Please check out our website for further details and let us know if you have any questions.First you Retro-fit….then you Retro-fly!Below is a link to an introductory video we made for the Retroflyer where we talk a bit about some of the design and functions. Here's the link to Retroflyer Intro Video - check it out! > Here's a small sampling of some of the many unsolicited remarks from our awesome customers: ~So I’ve just fitted the retro flyer into my road worn/battered/broken tone potted/general mess of a mk1 Rhodes and it is alive again! The thing sounds amazing. Now I have a spare tremolo unit needing a new home too. Thanks.~Love these guys. Great communication, great product. Buy one!~Once I plugged it into my tweed clone it was perfect. Silent, responsive, clear. Exactly what I was hoping it would be. I’d thought my piano had several problems that might need fixing but it turns out it just needed the retro flyer! ~I can’t believe how good this thing sounds. I thought the video and samples were overselling it, but it sounds even BETTER. The tremolo is so musical, just the perfect compliment to the Rhodes. Thank you all so much for your work on this product.
