Description
Free the Tone MS-1V MS SOV Special Overdrive
Why we love it
Fat, smooth, exceptionally expressive, detailed, and wide dynamic range overdrive. This is the original limited Matt Schofield signature edition with Matt’s signature on the pedal.
Condition
This is a super clean early serial number (S/N MS078) example of the MS-1V in Excellent (near Mint) condition with minimal signs of prior use, such as scattered minor fine scratches and scuffs in the paint, that do not impact sound or functionality. The original packaging and instructions are included.
Manufacturer Description
This model combines the original custom version of the SOV-2 used by Matt for many years with the very special HTS input circuit. As in the FTT SOV-2, the power is increased internally to +/- 15Vdc to provide a wide and dynamic range, and at the same time, it prevents guitar signal degradation when bypassed by implementing the HTS circuit. It also has a very low S/N ratio, and provides a fatter and smoother overdrive tone. The Matt signature model was born out of his request to prevent guitar signal degradation and at the same time, provide a natural guitar tone when bypassed. This is why we implemented the HTS buffer circuit instead of true bypass. We provided Matt with a prototype and he made the following comment: “The latest pedal is great! I used it, and love it, for the whole of my last tour. Best version of the SOV ever for me.”
