Shootout + Opinion: TC ELECTRONIC INFINITE & MINI vs ELECTRO HARMONIX FREEZE, DEEP FREEZE & SUPEREGO 

I have the TC Electronic Minipedal. I was not far away from sending it back because of the same reason you mentioned at the end of your video. But but then I made a toneprint by myself: I deactivated the reverb and the modulations, took the infinite setting and routed damping to one and fade in together with decay at the other knob. Now it is not longer washy and instead very natural. You have to use it a bit different then the EHX freeze pedals. The infinite sustainer works a bit more like a delay. It samples a little piece and plays it forwards and then backwards. For this reason it sounds like there would be a modulation if the beginning and the end of the sample are different. If you want stable unmodulated sounding sustain you have to wait a little longer, when the sustain of the guitar is more stable. I use this as a feature because the moment of activation has a big influence on the sound. But I had to practice a little until I got all the sounds I want.

best part of the superego is the fx send and return. always fun to run your pedalboard through it and manipulate your freeze with each turn of a knob from a different pedal in the loop

The SuperEgo+ is the best & I also love my Gamechanger Plus pedal.

Thx, trying to choose myself right now

Superego is fun to tinker with but adds too many unwanted extra layers to the clean sound. These extra layers make the original sound mushy, unpredictable and even unstable. I'm not saying it makes the pedal completely unusable but the extra "morph" definitely prevents it from being used in a stage or studio situation where a fixed guitar sound is crucial. Not to mention that it only fits in an airplane hangar.

How would you rank the sound quality between the 3 EHX pedals? You think the og Freeze is significantly clearer?

Thank you!

A lot of the appeal of the individual units is personal preference, I preferred the attack and decay of the Infinite pedals. I actually didn’t like the EHX pedals at all, some of the morphing sounds were almost painful to listen to - but, as I said, it’s personal preference. It’s worth noting that the TC Electronics Infinite pedals are totally customisable via the Tone Print app. So, if you want to change the sound and the way the sound starts and ends, the parameters of each of the controls changes and the curve of that change, plus selecting size of reverb, etc, you can completely set it up to your own preferences. You have three user memories to use for personal settings, plus how the other four modes work can also be customised.

Can the infinite gliss?

Missing the Gamechanger Plus.. I’ve tried them all and prefer the TC Infinite… The EHX drone doesn’t modulate and sounds fake.
