In the “BLACK VEHICLE” we implemented a newly developed HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit for electric bass guitars. The HTS circuit, a synonym for FREE THE TONE products, prevents a thin sound, makes the texture of the sounds from the unit uniform when it is turned on and off, and feeds the received signals to the following circuit in an optimal condition.

In addition, newly designed EQ circuits and MIX circuit are also installed in the “BLACK VEHICLE”. The TREBLE and BASS EQ circuits affect only the drive sound. The unprocessed original signal (dry sound) is mixed with the drive sound in the MIX circuit. The EQ and MIX circuits minimize signal phase error, prevent the sound from being buried when the drive amount is increased, and realize an ultimate drive sound that has a clear pitch and contour of sound.

ARC-3 Audio Routing Controller

The Matt Schofield Signature Model “MS SOV SPECIAL (MS-1V)” discontinued in 2013 has been revived as a standard series pedal “MS SOV (MS-2V)” in response to an overwhelming demand from our customers. To reproduce the sound quality of the discontinued custom series model within the new standard model, we completely reevaluated everything from components to manufacturing process and performed sound adjustment, while keeping the specifications and features such as the HTS Circuit, and ±15 Vdc internal boost. Try the fat but smooth and wide-range “MS SOV” sound!
