Free the Tone Announces the RF Phase Modulation Delay Future Factory FF-1Y

A modulation machine that features a random fluctuating phase modulation function.

Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan (January 24, 2019) -- ā€œCreation of a new soundā€ ā€• this was the motto for the development of the Future Factory FF-1Y. In general, the phase of a low frequency oscillator (LFO) used in these modulation circuits changes regularly at a preset frequency. However in the Future Factory we succeeded in creating a new modulation sound with a unique method in which the signalā€™s phase changes at random when the signal crosses a certain attenuation level. This creates an unprecedented effect in which a fluctuating spacious sound seems to float in the air.

Highlights:

  • World-first Random Fluctuating Phase Modulation Function
  • 3-Band Equalizer, Soft Clipping and Dual Delay Units connectable in parallel or series
  • 32-bit High-Precision DSP
  • Built-in HTS Circuit and Analog Mixer
  • Instrument and Line Input Level Switching
  • Delay Phase Invert, Trail Function, Tap Input
  • MIDI Support (128 Presets)

Future Factory FF-1Y carries a suggested retail price of $420.00, and can be purchased after March 21, 2019, through our North American dealers listed at: https://www.freethetone.com/en/dealer/

This Japan-made Guyatone brings back memories of hitchinā€™ rides around the U.S.

This oddball vintage Guyatone has a streak of Jack Kerouacā€™s adventurous, thumbing spirit.

The other day, I saw something I hadnā€™t noticed in quite some time. Driving home from work, I saw an interesting-looking fellow hitchhiking. When I was a kid, ā€œhitchersā€ seemed much more common, but, then again, the world didnā€™t seem as dangerous as today. Heck, I can remember hitching to my uncleā€™s cabin in Bradford, Pennsylvaniaā€”home of Zippo lightersā€”and riding almost 200 miles while I sat in a spare tire in the open bed of a pickup truck! Yes, safety wasnā€™t a big concern for kids back in the day.

Fifteen watts that sits in a unique tone space and offers modern signal routing options.

A distinct alternative to the most popular 1x10 combos. Muscular and thick for a 1x10 at many settings. Pairs easily with single-coils and humbuckers. Cool looks.

Tone stack could be more rangeful.

When you imagine an ideal creative space, what do you see? A loft? A barn? A cabin far from distraction? Reveling in such visions is inspiration and a beautiful escape. Reality for most of us, though, is different. Weā€™re lucky to have a corner in the kitchen or a converted closet to make music in. Still, thereā€™s a romance and sense of possibility in these modest spaces, and the 15-watt, 1x10, all-tubeSupro Montauk is an amplifier well suited to this kind of place. It enlivens cramped corners with its classy, colorful appearance. Itā€™s compact. Itā€™s also potent enough to sound and respond like a bigger amp in a small room.
