I have played the individual pedal versions of these units. I am also a Lone Wolf Endorser.

When the Fly Rig was announced, I remember sending Randy a link saying something like that should exist for harp (I also said it should have the HarpBreak and not the Attack).

I share this as I probably have a bias.

The Fly Rig will work as advertised. I have had zero issued with any Tech 21 gear and think it works great with harp.

I have a Joyo pedal on my board (copy of Tech 21) and a Harp Break.

Basically, the Fly Rig is going to try to sound like a full on amp emulation and you may find the Marshall component unuseable based on your mic choice.

The Boogieman does not emulate an amp. It doesn't have a cab sim either. You may find this gives you a more convincing and easy to control blues tone. It will also be less feedback prone.

The Boogieman was designed for use with harp mics, so if you are using one, it might be easier to tweak.

What mic will you use? What kind of music are you playing? What are you plugging into? Do you need a two stage amp?
