Bass Effects

FREE THE TONE Black Vehicle

The FREE THE TONE Black Vehicle BV-1V is a bass overdrive pedal that is part of the Integrated Series, which was initiated as FREE THE TONE’s 15th- anniversary project. The pedal features a newly developed HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit for electric bass guitars, designed to prevent a thin sound and ensure uniform texture of the sounds when the unit is turned on and off. The HTS circuit also optimally feeds the received signals to the following circuit. Additionally, the Black Vehicle includes newly designed EQ circuits and a MIX circuit.

It features smooth highs, punchy mids, full but tight lows, and a natural and pleasing compression feel. The pedal is carefully crafted with high reliability components and a passive type tone circuit (hi-cut) to minimize phase error in the guitar signal. Key features and specifications include: \- Mode switch to select from four modes of different low frequency characteristics (cut-off frequencies) to adjust the lower register output to suit the characteristics of your guitar/amplifier. \- HI-CUT tone circuit to adjust higher registers, providing a natural change like the tone control on a guitar. \- Astoundingly excellent signal-to-noise ratio. \- FREE THE TONE’s original HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit for impedance conversion while fully bringing out sound characteristics of the guitar. \- Input impedance: minimum 390 kΩ \- Output load impedance: minimum 10 kΩ \- Power supply: 9-volt PP3 battery or AC adapter \- Current consumption: 11 mA (DC 9 V) \- Dimensions (D x W x H): 123 x 100 x 53 mm (including protuberances such as footswitches, jacks, etc. ) \- Weight: approximately 320 g (excluding battery) The Red Jasper RJ-2V is designed to provide a wide range of expressive guitar sounds, from subtle whispering tones to powerful and persistent drive sounds, while maintaining the original timbre of the guitar.

STRING SLINGER SS-1V

The Free The Tone STRING SLINGER SS-1V is an overdrive pedal designed to deliver the ideal American Blues sound. It features a viscous, clean-to-crunch tone with moderate compression feel, aiming to generate the best Blues sound. The pedal is part of Free The Tone's Integrated Series, which was initiated as the company's 15th-anniversary project. Key Features and Specifications: \- New HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) Circuit: Brings out individual sound characteristics of the guitar and amplifier while providing impedance conversion and establishing both the ideal sound and low noise. \- FREE THE TONE Custom Knobs: Custom turned brass knobs reduce vibrations in the shaft and wiper of the semi-fixed resistor used for each control and suppress harmonic components that might adversely affect sound. \- Casing Design: The dimensions and plate thickness of the case are optimized to deliver the best sound, with weight also considered for sound optimization. \- FREE THE TONE’s Unique IC Tone Plate: Metal plate for damping and shielding covers the top of an IC chip to make the most of the characteristics of the IC and prevent noise contamination. \- Passive Tone Circuit: Minimizes the phase shift in guitar signals. Technical Specifications: \- Input impedance: min. 500 kΩ \- Output load impedance: min. 10kΩ \- Controls: LEVEL, TONE, DRIVE \- Terminals: 2× 1/4" phone jacks (for input and output), 1× DC9V input jack (for AC adapter) \- Power supply: 9-volt battery (PP3/006P), AC adapter \- Current consumption: approx. 8 mA \- Dimensions: 98W × 120D × 51H mm (incl. protuberances such as footswitches, jacks, etc. ) \- Weight: approx. 640 g (excl. battery) \- Accessories: warranty card, manual, battery (PP3/006P), 4x rubber feet

FB-2 Final Booster

The Free The Tone FB-2 Final Booster is a full-range booster that can provide up to +20 dB of boost without degrading the highs and lows of the guitar signal. It features a circuit composed of transistors, without using IC chips, to provide natural tonal characteristics. The HTS circuit is built-in to preserve sound quality whether the effect is turned on or off. Additionally, the Final Booster does not reverse phase when the boost is turned on, addressing a common issue with other boosters. The specifications include: \- Effect Type: Boost \- Designed In: Japan \- Power Input: 9V Battery, 9V Adaptor \- Current Draw: 14mA \- Bypass Switching: HTS Circuit \- Circuit: Analog \- Enclosure Size: Standard \- Jacks: Side Mounted The Final Booster is designed to maintain the original tonal characteristics of the guitar or bass while providing a natural sounding boost.

Reverb

AS-1R Ambi Space

The AS-1R Ambi Space by Free The Tone is a digital reverb pedal with the following technical specifications and features: \- It utilizes a dual-core chip with a 32-bit main CPU and 32-bit co- processor, performing high-speed calculations using a 32-bit high precision DSP to generate sounds comparable to those from rack mount effects units, despite being a compact effects unit. \- Up to four settings of all knobs can be memorized as presets, which can be recalled by MIDI program-change numbers. \- It offers six reverb modes: SPRING, PLATE, ROOM, HALL, CAVE, and SERENE. \- The unique reverb modes "CAVE" and "SERENE" create sounds with a rich harmonic structure by adding complex reverberation patterns in multiple stages, resulting in unprecedented, transparent, and spatial reverb sounds. \- The unit contains the HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit, managing signals comprehensively from input to output to ensure no change in sound character when the effect is turned on or off.

AMBI SPACE AS-1R

The Free The Tone AMBI SPACE AS-1R is a high-end digital reverb pedal featuring a 32-bit dual-core chip and a 32-bit high precision DSP. It offers six reverb modes: Spring, Plate, Room, Hall, Cave, and Serene. The AS-1R allows up to four settings of all knobs to be memorized as presets, which can be recalled by MIDI program-change numbers. The pedal utilizes Free The Tone's original algorithm to create complex reverberation, providing natural and musical sounding reverberation suitable for electric guitars, basses, acoustic guitars, vocals, recording, and mixing. The unit also features the HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit, ensuring no change in sound character when the effect is turned on or off. The AS-1R is designed to output signals without compromising the original sound quality, as the original (dry) sounds pass through the unit from input to output as analog signals and are mixed with reverb sounds by the internal analog mixer.
