Electro Harmonix Freeze

Post by johnnyseven »

I'm quite interested in one of these:

http://www.ehx.com/products/freeze

Being the only guitar player in my band I could make good use of one, I only hope it'll allow you to play over the frozen guitar sound. Looking forward to when somebody posts a demo on the interweb somewhere.

Sounds like the DD-3 Hold feature, plus a "fade out" option but minus control of the sample time. Hmmm.

I could never get the hold on either of the DD3's i've owned to work properly! Hopefully it'll work like the feedback on the Boss Super Feedbacker Distortion that Adam from Swervedriver uses, I had one for a while and was more successful in getting that function to work and it was a lot of fun to play with.

It's freeze from the HOG. So it's more like infinite sustain than infinite short loop.

I might get one, if I can mod it. I already have a HOG, but I've always wanted to freeze and then pitch bend my frozen stuff, and a Freeze + a HOG would let me do that. However, the dry signal cannot be defeated on the Freeze, which is a problem for me. If I can cut a trace right before the dry signal is mixed, and then add a flip switch though, I'd be golden.

Back when my DD-6 worked the 'warp' function was my favourite feature...

This freeze thing looks amazing though... anybody got any idea how much they are gonna cost?

Well, all it's doing is sampling a very small time amount of your guitar, right? Looping it over and over to give the impression of infinite sustain, yes?

Same thing.

Yeah, fairly chuffed to see this, but it doesn't exactly seem worth £80+. I was expecting a more modest price like £45 or so.

Same here. Funny how we get drawn by the fucked up part of pedals can do.

I only used to use it to fill the gaps between songs :)

I recently discovered you can fuck up the tracking on a Boss PS-5 with a Floyd Rose, it confuses the pedal and makes wonderful noises. 8)

The Boss Super Distortion and Feedbacker did something similar albeit less complex.

My favourite thing to do was...

DD-6 --> Big Muff --> U.S. Fuzz --> Friends behringer digital delay (Maximum Repeats)


Just hold down the warp and play with the delay time on both pedals...

Crazy Shit
