Of the dozens of effects pedals I have had in my possession over the years there is none better than the stompbox that I’m talking about in this week’s video. Pair it with an Ibanez Gary Willis signature bass and you have a tone that you could build a career on!
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott :)

nice ringtone, if you want to have a heart attack lol

@thedondeluxe6941 4 года назад

I remember wanting a pedal like that for years. Imagine my joy when I saw that Electro-Harmonix had launched exactly the pedal I was thinking of! Bought one immediately and have thoroughly enjoyed it ever since.

@bannanapancake 4 года назад

I watch a lot of different bass players, Christian McBride, Mono Neon, Gary Willis(nice bass btw), but side from Gary, Scott is probably the most visually fluid players I’ve watched, small movements all over the board and smooth transitions! I’m a Devine fan for life!!

@colinjackson3662 3 года назад

Ok, this is not going to be interesting to anyone, but... Back in the day (I am pushing on 60) I used Taurus pedals and various synth sustain pedals etc.. But now for 100+ units of exchange, wonderful. I've had mine since your first review and it still keeps delivering on bass, keys or guitar! From one Northern Lad (but Lancashire) to another, keep up the good work...

@Jesslayc Год назад

The freeze pedal does wonders, especially when you are playing in a three-piece group. Can really fill out a ton of space while the guitarists are screwing around

@Evanjb156 4 года назад

Just got this one for christmas. I'm absolutely loving it. It's been fun for a compositional tool and I feel like it's going to help in ear training so much.

I‘m using an Electro Harmonix Freeze Sound Retainer for practicing intonation on my fretless for some time now. Since your first short video about this stompbox. Thanks for the hint.

@stephanhoing8269 4 года назад

This is still high up on my list of pedals to buy since your first video on this pedal :D Until then, I have to make do with TC's Flashback II, which can do a similar thing. Set to the 2290 mode with Feedback at 0, Level and Delay to taste, you can use the MASH Button to repeat a note (or phrase, as long as it is the lenght of the Delay-time). Kind of like a looper, but without the hassle of deleting loops to change notes. Just play, press and hold the footswitch and you're in business. Release, play new chord/note/phrase, press again and voila! The downside is that you still get an attack each time the chord/note/phrase starts again. On the one hand rubato is of the table, unless you choose to ignore the pulse, but on the other hand the pulse works as a metronome. You could also set the Feedback to a higher value to let the note fade out after releasing the footswitch.

@aaronbusby3752 4 года назад

Definitely think I'm gonna get one of these so I can spice up some of my more simple root note bass lines. Great video as always Scott, lovely for a Saturday morning

@curtisharvey4852 4 года назад

I have the Electro-Harmonix Super Ego, which is their tricked out sustain pedal, and it's great for creating ambient pads, washes, and drones. It has an auto feature, as well as effects, and a number of knobs for how the sustain attacks, sustains, repeats, and layers. There is also an Ego pedal with fewer functions.

@ferox965 4 года назад

For me, the pedal is the Tech 21 DP3X dUg Pinnick signature. Tuner and compressor on it, small, bulletproof and retains my sound on every rig I have.

I bought the EHX Freeze because of that previous video you made on the merits and utility of the pedal. Not only good for bass guitar but for electric guitar as well. I freeze a chord and explore what scale notes and passing notes work well over it. This pedal plus a looper pedal are my practice buddies. Cheers!

@rome8180 4 года назад

I've had one of these on my wish list for months. Rick Beato also uses one all the time. For jamming/improvising purposes, they seem like they'd be more useful than a looper pedal.

@Motzkie 9 месяцев назад

Hallo Scott - you can do it also with a Looper. You just have to step on twice to get it working. Thank you for giving your knowing in such a kindfull way. Good luck and a good health forever.

@MarcoH72 4 года назад

@buzzmattn6539 4 года назад

Fun thing... I ordered one a couple of days before (saw your other video about it) and now I'm happy to see another great video about it. Can't wait to get my hands on this!

@brettmarlar4154 4 года назад

Looper pedals like the Ditto Looper (TC Electronic) are great for this as well, because you can play an entire chord progression and play over that. Plus it will help you with your time as you gotta play from a one to a one! (Of course I'm referring to beat one.)

@cmvb 3 года назад

this is sustain...Ditto is looper hehe. both great and different

@brandonmalone1893 8 месяцев назад

Yea a sustainer is much different...I tried to use my looper as a freeze...not nearly as convenient as an actual freeze pedal

@Beeblebroxologist 4 года назад

I've got one of these, it's great and was the last one in the shop. My previous sustainer (Boss CS-3) could only sustain a note I was holding - useful for some things, but not really what I was after. (The Freeze [or at least my version] doesn't have a battery option if that's a deal breaker for people.) I also use my freeze to help tune my ring modulator...can't say that improves musicianship, but it sounds cool. A looper can provide a bit more dynamic context, and they're really fun too.

@bigboi3272 4 года назад

This is a great demonstration on the importance of modes and relative minor (aeolian)

@lorenzouva6615 4 года назад

I think probably a looper is a good choise for practise, especially if you're alone. With a bit of praticse you can simulate a drum, chord changes and practise over them

@citizenbxtr883 4 года назад

Yes but the point is that you can keep changing key on the fly. Once you have committed to a loop by definition you are stuck in a repeated circle. Looping is an amazing tool but momentary latching has a slightly different functionality ⭕👌

@lorenzouva6615 4 года назад

@@citizenbxtr883 i get your point, i's not the same, but it's another option and more affordable. And yes, you can't change the key on the fly, but you can simple make a chord sequence, for example the first four bars of autumn leaves, practice over it. I know it's a little bit more intricate, but it's just another valid option to the freeze pedal and for practice

@MasaTheSlayer 4 года назад

Gamechanger Audio has this Plus pedal which is fancier version of this one. I use Pigtronix Philosopher's tone which is also sustainer.

@dm4728 3 года назад

Can someone explain to me why this is better for practicing than using a loop pedal? I don't have any pedals myself, but I imagine that a loop pedal can do somewhat the same thing as the freezer, but in addition to that you can play chord sequences with it. Still very helpful video :D

@viktor4174 4 года назад

A looper is good for a longer sequence, a few bars of chords. This pedal is kind of a one chord at a time deal. You just play and hold one note/chord and noodle a bit, then release the chord and on to the next one. With a looper you record a chord progression and it loops until you stop it.

Have you checked out the Gamechanger Audio “Plus” pedal? It is a sustain pedal designed to be like a piano sustain pedal. Expensive. But I love mine. Very natural feeling and quite robust in its abilities. There are videos on RU-vid about them. They have a nice “swell” feel so that they don’t have a hard start and stop. And you can set it up to allow you to build sounds.

EH Superego pedal's pretty good too. You can set a level so it will also grab a note automatically on loudness, and new note on same loudness. Also you can stack individual grabbed notes to make close voiced drone chords, impossible to play on conventionally tuned bass or guitar. EH Pitch fork is good too as you can change the pitch of a Freeze already grabbed note. The Pitchfork will also take 5v in to it's EXP in so you can program pitch shifting using a VC sequencer like a Korg Volca SQ-1. I use a pitch vibrato pedal after mine, switched in and out, so a long drone doesn't become too irritating.
