Free The Tone SS-1V

The Free The Tone SS-1V is a high-quality overdrive pedal that offers a wide range of tonal possibilities. With its extended dynamic range, brilliant overtones, long sustain, and quick but fat tone, the SS-1V is perfect for guitarists who want to add some extra punch and drive to their sound. The pedal also features a unique HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit that protects your guitar signal from sounding thin in Bypass mode.

The SS-1V is incredibly versatile and can be used to create a variety of different sounds, from a subtle overdrive to a full-on distortion. The LEVEL control adjusts the overall output level of the pedal, while the TONE control allows you to shape the EQ of the overdrive sound. The DRIVE control adjusts the amount of overdrive, letting you dial in the perfect amount of grit and saturation.

STRING SLINGER/SS-1V

User’s Guide

Thank you for choosing a Free The Tone product. Please read

this user’s manual thoroughly to ensure that you’ll benefit

fully from the advanced features, performance, and reliability

your Free The Tone product is designed to provide.

The STRING SLINGER boasts an extended dynamic range, brilliant overtones, long

sustain, quick but fat tone, and of course, the most important thing, pure and clean

overdrive sound. In order to realize all of these things, we thoroughly investigated

various electronic circuits and parts and all of the factors related to sound such as

materials and weight of the case and knobs, magnetic fields in the circuit, etc. After

a few years and many prototypes, we finally completed the STRING SLINGER. It

revives that ideal American Blues sound symbolized by the classic Black Face period.

Its viscous, clean-to-crunch tone with moderate compression feel can generate the

best Blues sound.

FREE THE TONE’s unique HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit is implemented to

protect guitar signals from sounding thin in Bypass mode.

The LED on the unit has the function not only to show the on/off status of the

effects but also to monitor the battery voltage. If it becomes lower than approxi-

mately 6 V, the LED starts to fade. Although the unit continues to output the effects

sound, we recommend to replace the battery with a new one in order to fully

exihibt its best performance.

Inserting or removing a plug from the

input jack while the unit’s output is

connected to an amplifier/speakers that

is turned on can cause noise that can

damage the speakers. If the unit mal-

functions or behaves abnormally, cease

operation immediately and refer the

problem to the supplier. If the unit will

not be used for an extended period of

time, remove the battery to prevent

damage due to chemical leakage from

the battery. When the battery voltage

drops too low for proper operation the

effect sound may become weak, the

output level may drop, or no output will

be produced at all. Be sure to replace

the battery as soon as possible if such

symptoms occur.
