For lush, organ-like effects, hold down the Freeze's pedal switch -- or use the "Latch" setting for endless sustain that lasts until you click the switch.
Freeze, Retain, and Sustain Your Sound With This EHX Stompbox
Plug your guitar, bass, or whatever instrument you play into the Electro-Harmonix Freeze Sound Retainer pedal, and you'll immediately introduce some new ton your game. This sampling pedal is great for solo acts; you can use it to hold out chords while playing a melody before making a chord change. If you use this pedal in conjunction with a distortion pedal, reverb pedal, octave pedal, or anything else really, then you'll be able to get quite experimental and produce sounds you thought your axe could never make. The Freeze features fast, slow, and latch settings, as well as an easy-to-use effect level control dial.
Freeze Your Sound: Sustain Chords and Drones -- Play Melodies On Top
Having a sampling pedal like the Freeze Sound Retainer as part of your arsenal of effects will give you another level of control for performances, recording sessions, or even just experimenting around by yourself. Aside from getting a little sonically weird, you can also use this pedal as a simple vamp generator if you need a repeating droning sound while playing licks or melodies. This is perfect if you're learning modes and need the tonic note, or key, to stay consistent while changing through the modes with respect to that root note or key -- a nice little exercise for learning some melodic theory.
Fast, Slow, and Latch Settings
The Electro-Harmonix Freeze pedal features three settings for you to employ: fast, slow and latch. The fast and slow settings determine how long the delay on your signal lasts. Simply step down to engage the sustain, and lift your foot up to end it. Flip the switch over to the latch setting, and you're in for some completely continuous sustain. This setting is perfect if you want an interesting atmospheric sound to envelop your song from beginning to end during your performance.
Great Addition to Any Pedalboard
This pedal is lightweight, durable, compact, and pedalboard-friendly. Using this tool in conjunction with an octave pedal, reverb pedal, distortion pedal, delay pedal, and a whole host of others will get you sounds that most people wouldn't know an axe could produce. Fire your guitar through this pedal, and let the endless sustain begin!
