Intellitouch Releases Freedom One Digital Wireless
System
The industry's first wireless system with a receiver built into
a pedal tuner.
OnBoard Research Corporation has now created the industry's
first wireless system with a receiver built into a pedal tuner. The
new Intellitouch Freedom One is a digital wireless system for
guitar and bass, providing a high-quality digital wireless link
between a guitar and a pedal tuner, eliminating the cable normally
attached to a guitar.
The Freedom One has two components: A compact wireless
transmitter that plugs directly into a standard 1/4 inch output
jack on a guitar or bass, and a pedal tuner with a 1/4 inch output
that connects to an amplifier or to other effects pedals. When
using the new Intellitouch Freedom One, the performer is free to
roam away from their pedal board while playing.
The Freedom One's pedal has a built-in tuner with a large
backlit display that changes from red to green when in tune. The
tuner is automatic, chromatic, and displays the measured musical
note on a large LCD screen for fast, easy tuning. The pedal also
has a backlit footswitch that is easy to find on a dark stage. The
footswitch turns on the tuner display and mutes the output while
tuning.
OnBoard Research is conscious of the environment, and recently
released the industry's first rechargeable tuner. The Freedom One's
pedal tuner also has a useful feature to save batteries - a backup
input jack for an audio cable, so that the pedal tuner can still be
used without the wireless transmitter. If a user wishes to consume
no batteries while practicing, they simply plug the pedal into a
standard 9v effect pedal power supply and connect an audio cable
from their guitar to the extra input jack on the pedal. This
feature's purpose is for the environment and is not needed for
performance, as the Freedom One's transmitter squeezes an
astounding 10 hours out of a single AAA battery.
The Intellitouch Freedom One model #WT1 comes with OnBoard's
legendary Limited Lifetime Warranty, and has a List Price of
$149.95.
