FREE THE TONE was established in 2002 as a company that designs and produces custom products, pedalboards, and tour systems for professional Japanese guitarists and bassists. As the words “THE HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SYSTEM DESIGN” express, instead of focusing on single components, the company approaches the entire system design in a comprehensive way. FREE THE TONE believes in helping musicians improve their performance and aims to develop trouble-free products by understanding how musicians use them in live performance or recording situations. An environment that allows concentration on performance has a positive effect on sound, helping to unleash it.
