Our Business Hours is Mon to Fri / 11:00 to 18:00 JPN time
We will close Sat and Sun, so we will reply to inquiry that received weekend on next week.
Your understanding will be appreciated.

We are receiving the customer order with first comes first serves basis both on website and at real shop.
So occasionally it will be sold out while having email communication.
Please understand in advance.

Japanese consumption tax is not required for international shopping. However you may be required to pay duty, tax and import fee when receiving your items in your country. You must pay all these duty, tax and fee as receiver/importer and we do not cover any of them.

-----------------------------------

Overwhelming dynamic range, sparkling overtones, expansive sustain, a fast yet fat tone, and most importantly, a clean, pure drive sound. To embody all of these, we thoroughly examined every element of the sound, from the electrical circuitry and components to the materials, mass, and magnetic fields of the case and knobs. After repeated prototyping over several years, we finally completed the "STRING SLINGER" and "FIRE MIST." The ideal drive sound evokes two sounds: the American blues sound of the Black Face era, and the British rock sound typified by golden Plexiglas panels.
"FIRE MIST" recreates that ideal British rock sound. Its outstanding response and edgy sound create the classic British rock sound.

The moment you play "FIRE MIST," you'll experience the true meaning of the term "amp-like."


*NEW HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) Circuit: The Integrated Series features a newly designed HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit. Unlike conventional buffer circuits, this circuit maximizes the sonic characteristics of your guitar and amplifier while converting impedance, achieving both excellent sound and low noise.

*FREE THE TONE Custom Knob: We developed a custom FREE THE TONE knob made from machined brass to suppress vibrations in the shafts and wipers of the semi-fixed resistors used in each control, and to suppress harmonic components that adversely affect the sound. The knob's diameter and weight were determined through repeated sound tests to obtain the ideal sound. It produces a clean overdrive with little muddiness, "distorted but not muddy."

*Sound Casing Design: The length, width, height, and thickness of the casing all affect the sound of the overdrive pedal. For the Integrated Series, we carefully calculated all dimensions to determine the case size that best suits the ideal sound. The weight has also been carefully designed to prioritize sound.

*IC Tone Plate: A FREE THE TONE-exclusive metal plate that covers the top of the IC, providing vibration isolation and shielding at the same time. It maximizes the characteristics of the IC while providing shielding to minimize noise contamination.

* Passive tone circuit: The tone circuit uses a passive circuit that minimizes phase shift of the guitar signal.
