Free the Tone - SOV-2 OVERDRIVE

Although previously developing Providence effects devices in the past as
a 100% affiliate company of Providence, FREE THE TONE has now become an
independent company and can deliver their own products directly to
customers.

The FREE THE TONE SOV-2/OVERDRIVE pedal is not an
off-the-shelf mass produced product but is handmade by the designer
one-by-one in the FREE THE TONE custom shop.

Please try the full, harmonically rich overdrive sound of our original pedal.

The
SOV-2/OVERDRIVE naturally expands the sound and character of your
guitarÕs tone, providing an extremely expressive vocal-like overdrive
sound that fully retains the playerÕs picking nuances.

Warning: The power consumption of the SOV-2/OVERDRIVE pedal is 90mA/(DC9V), so the use of an AC adaptor is recommended.

Background & Development :

The
background of the SOV-2 begins with the original SOV-1. The SOV-1 used
no vacuum tubes, but as a result of many years of development it
successfully achieved the soft distortion and dynamics that are
characteristics of the best tube amplifiers.
We received numerous
requests from the SOV-1 users around the world for a smaller, lighter
version that would run on batteries or an AC adapter.

In order to
realize the requested modifications without compromising on sound
quality it was necessary to reconsider the power supply. The original
SOV-1 was AC powered and employed a precision power supply circuit of
the type used in recording equipment. The sound of the original SOV-1
was to a large degree dependent on an exceptionally clean, stable power
supply. It would be physically impossible to use the same power supply
in a compact version, so a new circuit had to be developed from scratch.
We
decided to use a high-performance (and very expensive) DC-DC converter
to deliver the ±15V power required by the original SOV-1 signal
circuitry. A highly efficient filter was designed and implemented to
prevent the converterÕs oscillator from interfering with the audio
signal. The signal lines were also laid out with extreme care in order
to optimize the unitÕs sound. What I have just described in a few
sentences actually took several years to achieve, but the results in the
SOV-2 are totally satisfying.

The SOV-2 is unique. It is an
ideal match for Marshall, Fender, and a wide range of high-end and
boutique guitar amplifiers. We sincerely hope that players will make it a
part of their music: nothing could be more gratifying for a guitar
effect designer.
