This unparalleled delay effect unit Future Factory FF-1Y is the fruit of Free The Tone’s continuous pursuit of sound quality and new functionality, and the culmination of our latest creative endeavors. The Future Factory incorporates two delay modules that can be used as a stereo delay or easily used in Monaural mode by connecting them in series. This enables the creation of a sound similar to that made by vintage devices. The delay sound’s bandwidth is narrowed but harmonic overtones are added. By distorting the delay sound and adding it to the dry sound you can create an unprecedented, musical sound. This is a useful feature for guitarists and bassists, as well as saxophonists, violinists, DJ’s, or keyboardists.įor the users who will mainly use this unit in Monaural mode, we added a soft clipping circuit to one channel of the delay.

This 3-band EQ can select a frequency to match the instrument to be used. Tonal adjustments of delay sound are indispensable for handling various musical phrases. The FF-1Y has a dedicated 3-band equalizer for delay sound.

(This function works best when used in Stereo mode.) This creates an unprecedented effect in which a fluctuating spacious sound seems to float in the air. However in our Future Factory, we succeeded in creating a new modulation sound with a unique method in which signal’s phase changes at random when the signal crosses a certain attenuation level. In general, the phase of a low frequency oscillator (LFO) used in these modulation circuits changes regularly at a preset cycle.

Many digital delay units that implement a modulation function have been introduced to date. “Creation of a new sound” ― this was the motto for the development of Free The Tone “Future Factory” FF-1Y.
