The original freeze has a loud click noise every time you step on the pedal. I had the switch modded to avoid the clicking noise. Does this pedal have the same clicking noise when you step on it?
I've owned 3 originals. Never had that issue. 1st was stolen, 2nd I broke the mini toggle, and 3rd is on my board now. Maybe you had a dud. EHX has always been great at not having those sorts of qualities.
The only reason I haven't bought a freeze was the lack of control over the effect. So thank you for this. EDIT: I forgot to add "control but with no space sacrifice"
Which switch did you use in the Deep Freeze? I own the predecessor (and I love it!!!), but the switch is way too loud! Did you use soft switches in this series? Would be SO cool!! Greetz!
Great sounding pedal, on my wishlist! That guitar strap is also the best looking guitar strap I've seen in a long time - what is it and where can I get one?
Hi there, what I am really searching for is a pedal that can give me a scat jazz singing effect. Roland have a synth that does this but I'm not interested in all the other effects. Love it if Electro-Harmonix could produce this effect in a pedal.
0:50 is that a new version of the Freeze on the right??? It looks like the whole pedal is painted white instead of the old EHX pedals that are the bare metal case with a label on the face, like the superego on the left... Confused why they would be making that if the Deep Freeze seems to be able to do everything the old one could plus a lot more? Unless they were making an updated looking version of the freeze before, and they abandoned it to make the Deep Freeze for the pico line. Interesting
Any tips for where to place in the signal chain? My initial thought was behind drives and distortions, but looks as though you got great sounds from placing before and after
That really depends on the distortion circuit... I'd try both and listen to what you feel sounds best for what you're trying to do. Personally, I'd place it after distortion to maintain the integrity of my gain pedals characteristics.
The freeze has been around before the superego. I believe the notable difference between the two is that on the freeze it only freezes 1 layer while the super ego can freeze multiple
Interesting. I have the original Freeze pedal, which I try to incorporate into my setup; even pairing with a Blurst to add some additional movement to a drone. Turning it more into a sustain isn't the direction I personally expected it to go and was thinking more along the lines of some built-in reverb effects.
Interesting pedal, but I'll stick with my Schecter guitar that has the sustainiac in it. My personal experience with pedals that add tons of sustain is that you either get tons of static, too, OR you end up with notes sounding as though they are on a repeat with subtle clipping. Might just be my own experience over the years.
