Sweetwater Advice

Robert Johnson

On its own, the Freeze can be a great source of inspiration for any guitar player.� Put it before an electro-harmonix POG and/or delay and it's outright incredible.� Layering and texturing is the name of its game and it certainly does both very well.

Shoegazers, Noise rockers, Post rockers, Experimentlists: This is a must-have pedal for you! Combine this pedal with reverbs, delays, and modulation and you will have an all-new sound palette for your guitar rig.

Make mine Frozen

I've been having a ball with this pedal since it arrived the other day. Looking forward to tomorrow night's rehearsal when I can break it in with the band. So far I really dig using the momentary switch with mid level decay while soloing. Grabbing accent notes and holding them - then bending them to get some really cool dissonance. A totally new twist. Gotta love a new toy.

Perfect For What It Does

The Freeze is a great pedal for creating sustain tones and drones underneath your playing. The quality of the freeze sound is superior to both the EHX HOG and the Roland VG-99, both of which I have extensive experience with. It is simple to set up and use and is also pretty quiet.

You will find that the Freeze works particularly well when fed into a chorus or similar modulator to liven up the sound a bit. The frozen sound can be a bit bland by itself.

E-H Freeze

From the first demo to the unit I just received from Sweetwater the Freeze is living up to its promise. It is simpler than looping pedals to get musically usefull results with this box. It is instanly intuitive to freeze passing tones to change chords over to creating synth bed like sustained chords to riff over. Freezing reverb tails really expands the atmosperics palette for psychobilly and surf guitar. Can't wait to put it across the fx bus in the mixer. My only concern is the toggle switch that I use my shoe on to change from Latch to Slow. That's just me. Nothing wrong with the pedal. Good job E-H!

Great New Effect from EH

A cool, inventive pedal, especially for us bass players. Highly recommended. I look forward to what new and weird stuff EH has in store in the future.

fun little thang

This thing does exactly what it says! Grabs a note or chord and freezes it, allowing you to play licks over a drone. You can get some really interesting effects if you time your pluck just right while doing a mute...gets an interesting swelling pulse. Reallly cool if you use with some octave pedals, synths, etc (it plays well with other pedals). Sounds awesome on bass too!
