All user reviews of 4/5 for the Electro-Harmonix Freeze

His retainer, it is what you play when you snap.

Digital effect.

An input, an output jack and a 9V power supply input which is the only option of pedal power (no battery power supplied), provides an EHX transformer 9V 200mA and with the pedal.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is very simple, a 3 position switch to set the operating mode of the pedal and a knob that adjusts the volume of the drone (sound sustainé).

The manual is adequate, we will retain the technical, explanations of modes 3 and the explanation of the change time (adjustment) to fade in and fade mode or "slow".

The three modes:

-Fast: the pedal retains what you play when you hold your foot on the footswitch, the drone goes away as soon as you remove it.

-Slow: the drone comes in fade-in and fade out by hand, all with 3 selectable settings (1: in 200ms 400ms out / 2: Out in 200ms 1s / 3: 800ms out in 3.2 s) you need to keep the foot on the switch.

-Latch: each time you press the switch you capture what you play, you're not obliged to maintain the switch, quickly press twice to turn off the pedal.

The pedal is easy to operate, however it will take some practice beast depending on the use we want to do.

SOUND QUALITY

The "nickel effect, you can create beautiful drones and layers of sound, can ambiancer beautifully, ideal for breaks and intros solo.

I love his big synth its type.

On bass guitar like it works very well.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 weeks. Before I used the method "hold" from my SYB-5 but it was less effective than the freeze.

The price / quality ratio is still very interesting to me.

I would do this choice without hesitation.

The Freeze freezes a note or chord and we just
play along.
A volume for its frozen.
3 options: 1son frozen still pressing the switch.
2idem rise and fall with the volume gradually
3son frozen switch without getting depressed.
No battery, a power supply provided.
First experiment with a one spot.
The sound stopped for no reason .. Very annoying for this
effect that extends the sound! Test with the original power supply,
same problem. You start thinking about security, but
without the pedalboard, direct in the amp when it works
same .. Re test with one spot, but it works very slight
buzz, finally, on a single power supply Danelectro, phew, it works
no buzz. Fortunately I had a lot of PSU.
the passage I opened the pedal and found it a bit cheap
for the price, finally jsuis not electronics.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration.
I would like to order the effect telepathically,
but do not want to get chipped ..
It is well thought out, but often we want
to add a disto on his non-freeze
and we must tap dancing, or change
the knobs on the guitar ..
My dream would be a freeze with double loop.
One for its frozen (it is possible to make
modder for this loop)
Another for its dry ..
And an expression pedal! With the possibility
freeze a sample longer.

SOUND QUALITY

Before, I imitated the sound with the mod of a delay digitech rp 250.
With the expression pedal I went from 0 to hold rehearsal.
But it was difficult to use, and the sound was often
tock tock tock .. With the freeze no tac (sometimes a bit
but still much less noticeable), slightly better agreement
defined. The sound is not frozen a bit, actually it depends on what you
sending it. If I play over it, it sounds good, if you listen
Only it sounded somewhat artificial. With effects over
we just go very far. Mod delay, pitch.
My clean sound is far from clean too ..

OVERALL OPINION

Over the past week.
I like this for solo improvisations
to experiment with sounds weird.
Still difficult to really embed the
heart of a component, but the possibilities
are there. It is not yet perfect, but
the effect is so fun!
