| The speed and low pressure operation of the Matrix demands a high flow regulator. The Rocket Regulator is perfect for the job. Our innovative external-thread front adjustment knob provides the largest air chamber available, giving you the finest adjustment ability and an incredibly low operating pressure. In addition, the Rocket is easily rebuildable with a simple Schrader valve. |

| The Dye Rocket Matrix Regulator is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore. |

| Review: |
This low pressure regulator does exactly what it is designed to do. I have shot over 12000 thin shelled paintballs with out a single chop!!! I have felt the bolt bounce off a few balls when I forgot to turn on the hopper but the LPR did it job when I forgot to do mine. The Dye LPR looks great, is simply built, and does what it is designed to do.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall a well designed and good looking product, does it's job well and should last forever with easily available repair parts (valve, o-rings). Buy this and be happy!!! |

| Review: |
This baby flat rocks!! Ultra low pressure operation, super smooth adjustments, killer looks, easily rebuildable, and like the RONCO guy says, "Set it and forget it". I set my velocity at 297, and she stays there all day. +1/-1 on a bad day. This is definately one for the record books. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it! If you don't I'll be sending you to the dead box too! |

| Review: |
The Rocket LPR is the factory LPR for Dye Matrix LCDs, and as such, I have one.
My Matrix works beautifully, and this LPR is fairly consistent. However, after about a case in one day, I began to get some creep, and the gun was chopping a little too much at the end of the day.
After a cleaning and regreasing, it works fine, but again, the lubricant decays too quickly inside it and it begins to creep. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Aside from the creeping, it's a nice LPR.
However, I always stand by AKA products, and I've replaced the rocket with an SCM 3. |
