The appearance of the SOV-2-CS is finished according to specifications designed for musicians. The die-cast case is unpainted, and the markings such as letters are printed on labels and manually attached one by one. Inside the back cover, there is a handwritten signature of the developer, Yukihiro Hayashi, on each unit.
BACKGROUND & DEVELOPMENT
Next, optimization of the signal path was carried out. It is a well-known fact among designers that sound changes with the design of the signal path. A considerable number of prototypes were made, and efforts were made to get closer to the intended sound. As a result, it took several years to complete the SOV-2, but satisfactory results were achieved.
The SOV-2 has unique characteristics and is an effect pedal that matches not only Marshall and Fender amps but also many boutique amps. To increase sound variations, it is also recommended to use it in combination with other overdrive pedals. As a designer, there is no greater joy than to have many people explore its potential and find it helpful.
FEATURES
- Wide dynamic range and powerful expression based on ±15 Vdc internal boosting
- Incredibly high signal-to-noise ratio.
- Exceptional sound stability by using long-life high reliability components.
- NOTE: Due to relatively large current consumption, we recommend to use an AC adapter.
