ARATSTJ Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Any future plans to put the Dusk Tiger robot technology and chameleon technology - into standard (& custom shop) Gibson Les Pauls? I think if Gibson can get these into the marketplace at an affordable price ($2.5K tops)......then just maybe you'll see some serious market penetration. I'd personally like to see it in a Custom shop LP, AAAAA Natural finish quilt maple top. Cheers!
ARATSTJ Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 ? No answer was the stern reply! One wonders 'bout the photo if they don't exist? Hard to sell em (and bye extension for us to buy em) if they don't officially exist! :) Interested in the technology - but not in a dusk tiger with a bit of 70's wall paneling as the guitar top!. Whats up Gibson - tiger got your tongue? Cheers

2010Limited Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 They appear to be shipping now too! The plant is getting back into production after the flood. I got mine on Wednesday (Nov. 24th), which was a very nice surprise since Zzounds said it wasn't going to ship until December 26th! The serial number is the old style and tells me it was built on September 30th. But I am disappointed so far, because I planned to use mine alongside my Dark Fire, and mainly with the HEX (13-pin) output that comes out of the Dark Fire's RIP box, but it doesn't work; no sound. The 2010 Limited's MCK works much differently than the Dark Fire's does, and looking at the info (and manuals) posted here I see that my Limited is more like the Dusk Tiger. I also see that I should have never plugged the Limited into the Dark Fire's RIP, though no one bothered to tell me that. There doesn't seem to be any harm done, unless it's to the LoZ jack which I have not yet tested. So it seems I need a Dusk Tiger RIP, since the Limited doesn't include one. Anyone have one for sale? Or do you know if they can be purchased through Gibson? I waiting until Monday to call Gibson (figured this long Thanksgiving weekend would be a bad time to call) but if anyone has any information or advice it would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Zummooz Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Congrats 2010 Limited Dark Fire can be updated to DuskTiger Firmware, same as Limited. Mine is! By the sounds of it, your DF is still DF firmware, as per bought from new. So if that was updated it would all work the same as your Limited. Can only get RIP from Gibson, when they decide to sell them & anything else to us. I thought you could use DF 's RIP with Limited......But not absolutely sure on this ! For any, help, manuals, advice you need PLEASE go to this great forum on all Robot , DF , DT , Limited & other good things. Especially since you own a Dark Fire. http://www.futureguitarnow.com/forum/index.php?action=forum#c1 Cheers

Can you please give us an ETA on RIP's (for DF , DT, 2010 LTD) as how can you sell 2010 LTD without having an RIP available. Also heard somewhere that Dark Fire Battery will be available (finally) within 2 weeks time ! Can you please confirm this ? Thanks so much....Cheers

Also heard somewhere that Dark Fire Battery will be available (finally) within 2 weeks time ! Can you please confirm this ? Thanks so much....Cheers @ Zummooz: I feel your pain in a way. I am properly frightened that Gibson does not have any spare parts listed for the Dusk Tiger or the Robot2010/2011 versions. What happens if something goes wrong and the guitar is out of warranty? That is possibly going to happen at some point, right? As an owner of a Dusk Tiger, I am a bit disappointed that the store has not been updated with more parts. Most of the Robot parts that you see on E-bay are from cannibalized guitars.
RedSkwirrell Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I thought you could use DF 's RIP with Limited......But not absolutely sure on this ! That is not adviseable:- Also - only use the Dusk Tiger with the supplied RIP unit. Do not use the Dusk Tiger with the RIP supplied with the Dark Fire as this damage to the LP-Z circuit can also occur (Dark Fire RIP also acts as a charger, the Dusk Tiger RIP does not) The Dusk Tiger RIP unit has a circular blue sticker on the bottom to help you to distinguish between the two. Same for the 2010 Limited. Brgs Skwizz
