Free The Tone standard effectors are a new series of effects pedals based on the best of advanced technology and extensive experience by the designer who has been building system racks and handmade custom effects for top musicians for many years. These new pedals represent an advance in development standards focusing on every aspect of the design from the state-of-the-art circuitry to the layout of the chassis.

*A newly developed and very special input circuit HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) Circuit is included to prevent guitar signal degradation even when bypassed.
*It is an extremely versatile overdrive with a wide gain range of useable for everything from Blues to Jazz and Rock.
*The GIGS BOSON overdrive pedal delivers a much more dynamic range for the DC9V power supply than would normally be expected, and also has a very low S/N ratio.
*The newly developed input circuit has an input impedance switch (1MΩ/100kΩ), which works even if the effector is turned off. This enables better control of your sound than you could achieve with just a tone circuit, delivering the full power of your tone even when used with a solid-state amp.
*The Tone Control not only adjusts the sound quality but also enables you to bring out the detailed nuances of your picking.
*Reliable, high-quality parts are used to ensure long life and stable sound.

About HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) Circuit

The newly developed Free The Tone HTS Circuit brings a brand new concept to effect pedals.

The effected signal is sent to the Noiseless Effect On/Off Circuit. This circuit transfers the guitar sound faithfully without any feeling of dullness or distortion that is often unique to electronic switching circuits, because no switching element, such as a FET, is used. The effected sound signal or bypassed sound signal, selected by the Noiseless Effect On/Off Circuit, is sent to the Output Circuit and then to any other equipment connected after the effector in the signal chain. Regardless of whether the effector is on or off, the signal output impedance remains fixed so that a stable signal is provided all the time. And when the effector is turned off, the HTS Circuit outputs a signal that remains true to the original natural guitar sound.

The affected sound and bypassed sound managed by the HTS Circuit will always have the same sound quality, which solves a problem that has plagued players for years. Please experience the capabilities of the Free The Tone standard series effectors with the built-in HTS Circuit for yourself.
