tcf Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Trying to figure out if the rom f/x comes with an amplifier and/or a microphone, or if I needed to go ahead and pick up a radio shack amp and mic anyway. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK6540UKG Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 It comes with everything you need. Except batteries... For those, you can either run a single 9v battery, or the 'more power - longer running time' option of 8 x AA's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defyitall Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Actually mine came with a battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonitekid Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 (edited) defyitall said: Actually mine came with a battery. Ditto. The only thing I would suggest changing with the rom set up is the mic. The one that came with mine packed up after only a half dozen troops so I did what most of the UKG have done and swap it out for one of the flat mic "skype "type pc mics such as this: ------- ----- as you can see, its a mod thats not going to break the bank. If you stick with the standard 9v set up be prepared to go through a LOT of batteries. Personally I have found that once they have less than about 80% charge they will need replacing ( still good to run your helmet fans for hours though ) so I will eventually be going the 12v route. Having said that, I have seen most other voice amps available in use ( even owned one of the " halloween 3 voice " voice changers) and I have to say the Rom beats all comers hands down! That includes the Tricktoys. My sandie mate had one of those and it lasted 3 troops before the board broke. He now has a Rom. lol Edited December 5, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK6540UKG Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Actually mine came with a battery. Dam, how times change... They didn't have batteries supplied 4½ years ago... As for the mic, yes as Matt said above it's one of things that does need upgrading. I still have the original 1st version mic in mine, and still going strong after all these years... not sure why John replaced them TBH.

defyitall Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I think I was always planning on going with a headset mic so it wasn't such a big deal. I'll probably include the old mic in my old kit when I sell it to sweeten the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcf Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 i haven't worked up a plan for installing this, but can you run both the amp and cooling fan setup with 8-AA's? also, should you enclose the romfx in a box, or is it ok as is? seems like it would be fragile.

Best to keep the ROM/FX on the 8xAA's and have the fan on a single 9v setup. The board is a fairly robust bit of kit TBH... you get a balloon to put it in, so the moisture stays out. Mines been getting abuse for over 4 years now, and never let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
