Electro-Harmonix Pico Deep Freeze Sound Retainer Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Deep Freeze Sound Retainer Effects Pedal: A New Level of Sonic Control
The Electro-Harmonix Deep Freeze Sound Retainer Effects Pedal combines advanced sampling and sustaining features into a compact design, offering an array of creative possibilities for guitarists. Based on the popular Electro-Harmonix Freeze and Superego pedals, the Deep Freeze takes everything you loved about those pedals and enhances it with new modes and more control. Whether you're looking to freeze a section of your playing, create lush harmonic backdrops, or experiment with dynamic sound layers, the Deep Freeze delivers a range of unique options that will inspire your playing and expand your sound palette.

Three Modes for Versatile Sound Creation
The Electro-Harmonix Deep Freeze features three unique modes of operation, each offering a different approach to sound retention and manipulation. In Latch mode, pressing the footswitch samples and sustains a portion of your playing until the switch is pressed again, allowing you to create lush, shimmering chords or long bass pedal notes. Moment mode allows you to freeze sound as long as the footswitch is held down, offering you the flexibility to add dynamic modulation to your performance. Finally, Auto mode tracks your playing dynamics, automatically freezing notes when your signal crosses a certain threshold. This mode adds a new level of interaction between you and the pedal, allowing you to control your sound in real time with your playing intensity.

In-Depth Control for Precision Sound Sculpting
The Deep Freeze doesn’t just sample your sound—it gives you the tools to shape it to your liking. With controls for Speed and Layer, you have complete control over the attack and decay times of your frozen samples. In Moment and Auto modes, the Speed knob dictates how quickly the sampled sound fades in and out, while in Latch mode, the Layer knob allows you to control the attenuation of previously frozen layers, giving you the ability to create complex, evolving textures. These additional controls let you fine-tune the way your sound evolves, whether you're creating subtle shifts or dramatic changes.

Blending Wet and Dry Signals for Seamless Integration
One of the standout features of the Electro-Harmonix Deep Freeze is its ability to blend your dry signal with the frozen effect. The Dry and Effect knobs allow you to adjust the mix of your original sound and the sampled effect, giving you complete control over how much of the frozen sound is blended into your performance. This feature is invaluable when you want to keep your dry signal intact while enhancing it with the rich textures of frozen tones. Whether you’re layering a deep, sustained chord over a rhythm or adding a subtle atmospheric texture, you can adjust the balance to fit your needs perfectly.

Compact and Durable Design for Easy Pedalboard Integration
The Electro-Harmonix Deep Freeze is housed in a durable, compact Pico-sized enclosure, making it an ideal addition to your pedalboard. Despite its small size, the Deep Freeze packs an impressive array of features, offering more control and flexibility than many larger pedals. This rugged construction ensures that the pedal can withstand the demands of both live performances and studio sessions, while its small form factor allows it to fit seamlessly into even the most crowded pedalboards. The inclusion of a dedicated power adapter further ensures that you can plug in and start creating without worrying about extra accessories.
