Overdrive, distortion & fuzz effect pedal

The FREE THE TONE String Slinger Overdrive SS-1V effect pedal revives the ideal American Blues sound symbolized by the classic Fender© Blackface© amplifiers. Its viscous, clean-to-crunch tone with moderate compression feel can generate the best Blues sound.

In order to achieve this concept of ideal sound, FREE THE TONE began by restructuring all of the components in an effects unit based on a great expertise and extensive experience cultivated and accumulated over the years.
FREE THE TONE 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, etc. After a few years and many prototypes, they finally completed the STRING SLINGER.

The instant you play through our STRING SLINGER, you will understand the true meaning of “Amp-like.”

Si vous jouez et aimez le Blues, dire de la F T T String Slinger SS-1V qu'elle est une mauvaise pédale serait un véritable mensonge. C'est une "plutôt bonne " pédale d'Over Drive de Blues. Toutefois son prix est hors de proportion avec ses qualités. La Blues Driver Boss (la BD1 est environ trois fois moins onéreuse ... !!) est à la hauteur de cette même String Slinger. Cela, pris en compte ma propre maîtrise de jeu d'une quinzaine d'années de Blues et avec les outils suivants : guitares (Fender strat Custom Shop reissue serie L Hartman Krafter, Fender Strat original 66 rosewood , Fender Tele De Luxe Mapple 79 - S1 original, Les Paul Gibson 2008 model reissue 58) ; amplis (Blues Junior Fender - Canabis Rex, Marshall JTM 45 original 76 - 4X12 Celestion Greenback cab, Laney LionHearth 15- 2X12 Vintage 30, et Fender bassman Tweed reissue 2X12 Weber Vintage).
Bref, je lai achetée et je vais la garder mais vraiment "sans plus". Par ailleurs - mais c'est un autre sujet, moins important certes - Star's Music précise sur son site que la pile est fournie, ce qui n'est pas le cas ... une fois arrivée chez vous par la Poste. De plus, munissez vous d'un jeu de clef Alen pour fixer les trois boutons de potard. Ce n'est pas franchement grave, mais comme disait ma grand-mère : "cela la fout mal !" pour du MAJ. Pour conclure, une plutôt bonne pédale de Blues pour la scène (très facile à régler) et dont le son ne devrait pas vous décevoir (SRV, Albert King, John Mayer) mais dont le rapport Qualité/Prix n'est absolument pas justifié (320 € !!). Bonne journée.
