ELECTRO-HARMONIX Freeze

EHX Freeze is basically a "ripped" and placed in a separate box Freeze function from the well-known Electro Harmonix HOG effect. As a Sound Retainer, it is capable (when the box's momentary switch is pressed) of adding infinite sustain to the currently playing note or chord, which you can then improvise over. By depressing the switch and depressing and holding it again, you can instantly apply an additional sound base/surface.

The shape of the transition (bridge) between notes/chords is decided by the setting of the three-position switch. In Fast mode the effect is fast and stops immediately when the switch is pressed, in Slow mode the effect is slower (fade in) and longer after the switch is pressed, in Latch mode the effect has an immediate start and continues after the switch is released, by pressing again the effect is immediately replaced by the newly played note/chord - in this mode the freeze effect is switched off by pressing twice.

The pedal's main Effect Level control determines the volume of the sustained tone (the output of the clean signal does not change). The pedal is wired as a buffered bypass. The included adapter is used for power supply.
