UPDATE 19th March 2010: A small update I meant to post a while ago, but check out this video clip of the real Boba Fett, Jeremy Bulloch, back in the Fett gear, for the first time in the UK since Return of the Jedi, at a UK Garrison event last year using a ROM/FX I donated for his suit. Yep, the real Fett uses a ROM/FX :) Video here, enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bZQ7lCfqB4
UPDATE 16th March 2010: For a limited time I will be offering the ROM/FX kit in it's basic form, just the board itself, called the "ROM/FX Raw" for only £90 GBP plus shipping. It is the same great ROM/FX board that comes with the Classic kit but without any of the accessories. IMPORTANT: This is for existing customers or advanced users only that know how the setup should work and can use their own speaker, microphone and battery setup as these items are not included. So if you need a spare board, or have multiple costumes, this is ideal for you :) The Raw, as with the Classic and Pro kits in this current run, will be ready to ship in approximately 3 weeks time. Please click here to check the details on how to secure your ROM/FX Raw board, or even a Classic or Pro ;) If you have any questions before sending your payment please email me: john@romfx.com (Note: Please put 'ROM/FX' in the subject line of your email, thanks!)
UPDATE 15th March 2010: In honour of the UK Garrison's 10th Anniversary on the 23rd March this year, and in aid of Sport Relief, I will be donating £2 from every sale of the current run of ROM/FX Classic's & Pro's up until the end of March 2010. From each £2 donation, £1 will go to the UK Garrison Charity fund and £1 will go to Sport Relief. More information on each charity can be found by visiting these links: UK Garrison - Sport Relief
What is it?: The ROM/FX unit is a real time voice amplifier and voice changer with 8 random automatic static burst effects, which will make you sound like a trooper from a very famous film with 'Star' and 'Wars' in the title. It has an adjustable level gain which allows you to set the volume at which you need to speak into the microphone so that the microphone and amplifier are not constantly on. This helps reduce feedback and stops the amplifier from accidental triggering if you cough or breath too heavily into the microphone. There are also time and delay settings which let you adjust how long you have to talk for before the auto static bursts kick in and how long after you stop talking before they play. It can be easily mounted anywhere on your body or within the helmet of your costume.This is a very brief run down of what the ROM/FX can do. For more details please check out the 'TechSpec.' page for the full list of features and modes.
A brief history: I'm John (TK256) from the 501st UK Garrison. After over a year of developing during 2002 and 2003, the ROM/FX Sound Board was born. It's a completely custom made board with code written specifically for the project, meaning it has been designed from scratch to my exact specifications.It's taken a lot of hard work to get here, but I am 100% happy with the results, and I am pleased to say the members from the 501st and UK Garrison who have received their boards are happy too.
