SOV-2 FREE THE TONE 

SOLD OUT ...We will not be getting any more.

Providence products have always been known for their amazing sound quality and uncompromising design ethic.  Yet believe it or not, there is a level of excellence that surpasses even these lofty heights.

The Providence Free the Tone custom shop was developed to offer the highest level of sound quality and performance possible, period.  Most FTT products began life as an idea in the mind of professional touring and recording musicians who required a very specific product to meet their needs.  These artists then came to Providence to bring these ideas into reality.

All Providence Free The Tone products are designed and hand-assembled by Providence chief engineer Yuki Hayashi.  All components are hand-selected to exacting tolerance ranges and even different types of solder are used in various sections of the circuits to assure the highest level of sound quality and performance possible.  Waiting lists of 6 months or longer are not uncommon for FTT versions of Providence pedals, particularly the FTT SOV-2.

AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE U.S.

This stringent manufacturing process created a heavy burden, and earlier this year Providence discontinued the FTT series of pedals in an effort to focus attention onto other projects.

We were lucky enough to get our hands on five of the last FTT SOV-2 models to be produced by Providence before “Free the Tone” was no more.

The Free The Tone SOV-2 Overdrive delivers refined performance in a compact pedal. Its overdrive is thick, wide-range, and remarkably natural, effectively expanding the guitar's inherent tone. This is an extremely expressive overdrive that fully retains the player's picking nuances.  The SOV-2 is an ideal match for Marshall, Fender, and a wide range of high-end and boutique guitar amplifiers.

From a satisfied FTT SOV-2 user -

"I still think this is the best, most organic and amp- like pedal I’ve ever owned...  There is something about it that you can actually feel in your touch.  I did turn it on while guys were playing my best amps and no one ever knew it was on as they were complementing me on how nice the amps were sounding, guys who just hate pedals... It was a very good buy!" - Mario P. - Quebec
