User’s Guide
Thank you for choosing a Free The Tone product. Please read
this user’s manual thoroughly to ensure that you’ll benefit
fully from the advanced features, performance, and reliability
your Free The Tone product is designed to provide.
The SILKY GROOVE is a compressor featuring a natural and smooth sound. This unit can
provide you with a broad range of sound making from heavily compressed effect sound without
dry signal to fast and strong tone composed mostly of dry sound. Setting the DRY MIX knob to
the leftmost position, the unit outputs the effect sound only. Turning the knob clockwise
increases the dry sound. When the knob is at the 12 o’clock position, the proportion of the
effect to dry sounds becomes nearly 1:1. Please note that turning the knob fully clockwise does
not make the dry sound 100%. The SUSTAIN knob adjusts the depth of the compression.
Turning the knob clockwise makes the compression deeper. The ATTACK knob sets the attack
of the sound. By turning the knob counterclockwise, the unit operates to suppress the attack
sound more strongly and turning it clockwise makes this suppression weaker. The LEVEL knob
changes the output level when the effect is turned on.
The SILKY GROOVE is also equipped with FREE THE TONE’s original HTS (Holistic Tonal
Solution) circuit that protects the bypassed guitar signal from becoming too thin or losing
tonality.
The LED indicator on this unit functions not only to show the effect on/off status but also to
monitor the battery voltage. When the voltage becomes lower than about 6 volts, the LED starts
to dim. Although effect sound is still output in this state, we recommend to replace the battery
with a new one to keep full performance of this product.
NOTE: No battery is shipped with this package. Please prepare a suitable one separately.
Inserting or removing a plug from the input
jack while the unit’s output is connected to
an amplifier/speakers that is turned on can
cause noise that can damage the speakers.
If the unit mal-
functions or behaves abnormally, cease
operation immediately and refer the
problem to the supplier. If the unit will not be
used for an extended period of time, remove
the battery to prevent damage due to
chemical leakage from the battery. When
the battery voltage drops too low for proper
operation the effect sound may become
weak, the output level may drop, or no
output will be produced at all. Be sure to
replace the battery as soon as possible if
such symptoms occur.
