zemzero Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 Was looking at purchasing a rom/fx unit soon but the website has been down for a couple days. Anyone have any information? Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 We're unsure why his site comes and goes but he was just up again a couple weeks ago to take orders. Quote
SheaJeff[TK] Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 I've got an open order with him and just heard from him last week that his current build should be shipping to us soon. Quote
kman[TK] Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 I have an order in the current batch as well. Not sure why he's been having website issues lately, but AFAIK they're definitely still in business. Note, however, that as I understand it, he does ROM/FX orders in small batches, and he's wrapping up one batch now. He (normally) only does 2-4 batches per year, so best case, it'll likely be a few months before he does another batch. So if you need something up and running ASAP, I'd look into the iComm or perhaps one of the iPhone app options. Quote
Squimspickle[TK] Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 I have a current order placed also. It seems that the website being down coincides with when he is fully booked with his current orders. Maybe it's possible that he takes the website down so that he doesn't end up with a backlog of emails and order requests? Quote

I have a setup with the icomm from Ukswrath but since a buddy is interest in building a suit and I have some spending money, I figured I'd try a rom/fx and I can give the extra setup to him. I'm in no rush, the icomm is great as it is. Looking into adding a tk chatter mp3 to it. 1 Quote

I have heard so may good things about it. The only downside is that with the RomFx, you don't have an audio in for TK chatter. But I've only used it a couple times on my iComm system anyway. Just keep an eye out for when the RomFx website comes back online. Like someone mentioned above he only does 2-4 batches a year. I have been wanting one for quite some time. I just got lucky and got in contact with him a couple weeks before he was starting a new run. Quote
iceman25c[501st] Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 I also know he's hard at work with a run of Revo Vader voice changers as well. It's been quite a while since the last run there. Quote

I could swear I read the newer revision of the RomFX boards DOES have an audio in function so you can add TK Chatter. Quote

Oh, that would be great news! I didn't hear or see that. I would love to have that option. Guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks! Quote

Fingers crossed! Dark CMF mentioned the ability in this thread: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/36260-questions-about-romfx/ 1 Quote
ScaryGuy[TK] Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 I also have an order in John's current batch. I asked him about the possibility for an audio input and it was not possible. Maybe someone with some electronics knowledge could find the input of the onboard amp and add another signal into it. But no standard feature on the romfx classic. I believe there was a romfx pro that could play 3 different pre programmed sound bites. These could be controlled with 3 buttons in your glove with a cable running to the romfx pro. Not really a TK chatter option. Quote
zemzero Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Posted July 10, 2016 For anyone else wondering, I got in contact with him a couple days ago. Sounds like his next batch is in two months time, got myself on the waiting list. Quote
kman[TK] Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 Yes, his last batch just shipped out recently. I got mine on Friday. Quote
SheaJeff[TK] Posted July 11, 2016 Report Posted July 11, 2016 Yes, his last batch just shipped out recently. I got mine on Friday. Hopefully mine will arrive this week then. I just finished my helmet on Saturday so it will be just in time. Quote
SheaJeff[TK] Posted July 11, 2016 Report Posted July 11, 2016 Just got my system. Man is this thing awesome! Right out of the box, the microphone works a lot better than whatever my buddy is using on his iComm. Quote
Squimspickle[TK] Posted July 12, 2016 Report Posted July 12, 2016 Got mine last night too. I love the fact that you can control how loud you need to talk into the microphone before it picks up anything. So I can lightly cough, clear my throat and it won't pick any of the up, until I start talking. My iComm system picked up every noise. Loud music, excited people, PA systems all would trigger my iComm. So when I was at Star Wars night at a local baseball game I basically walked around with constant static bursts popping on and off. I eventually turned it off. Last night I tested my Rom/FX around my dogs barking and not once did it trigger the microphone. Also I love the fact that I can easily put my helmet on now too. I don't mind that it doesn't have an audio in port. I rarely play TK chatter or music anyway. I love all the customization options. Don't get me wrong the iComm system definitely works. But there is situations where it may not work the best. Quote
