Free The Tone Matt Schofield Signature MS SOV Special MS-1V SN:155

Dette er den første versjonen av MS SOV pedalen produsert i et lite antall for salg i 2013 før FTT SOV2. Jeg testet begge og kan slutte meg til beskrivelsene under. Denne er i en annen liga enn den masseproduserte etter min mening. Fungerer perfekt og er behandlet fint. De selges for mellom 3000 og 6000 + på Reverb/Ebay.

Matt Schofield has been exclusively using the Free The Tone Custom SOV-2 for many years now and Free The Tone is now honored to announce a special Matt Schofield signature model overdrive pedal, the MS SOV SPECIAL (MS-1V). This model is the most advanced special version of the SOV-2 combining the custom SOV-2 Matt has been using in the past with a newly developed and very special input circuit, called the HTS circuit. As in the FTT SOV-2, the power is increased internally to +/-15Vdc to provide a wide and dynamic range, and at the same time, it prevents guitar signal degradation when bypassed by implementing the HTS circuit. It also has a very low S/N ratio, and provides a fatter and smoother overdrive tone. The Matt signature model was born out of his request to prevent guitar signal degradation and at the same time, provide a natural guitar tone when bypassed, and we therefore implemented the HTS buffer circuits instead of true-bypass.

The MS-1V's tone is slightly clearer when compared to the FTT SOV2; there's a sense that the second harmonics generated from fundamental notes are more prominent. In other words, the difference is similar to a small 1dB boost around 2kHz if you were comparing the pedals via a mixing desk playback. It's the smooth tone and new switching system that makes the MS-1V a joy to use, especially when soloing higher up the fretboard.
