Members The Lou-Dog Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 I could definitely find a musical use for one at some point.... Great idea for a pedal......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poltergeist Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 definitely would have one, and will get one at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BAXANDALL Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 Wait. How much are they? Seems to me if you can barely afford a Freeze you should probably think about buying food instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cirrus Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 Seems to me you might have a bit of an ego about what you're doing Loobs since you're telling people not only that it's what you do, but also that it's somehow better and the next step up from using pedals rather than it just being a case that you use whatever you want to do whatever music you want.

Members onyxrhino Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have one. I don't gig, but if I did I'd probably use it. I don't use it a ton, but it can be really nice for mimicking a second guitar (i.e. sustain a chord and play a fill) or to fill out a melody line with drones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orourke Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 blasphemous? hardly. A lot of people on here are afraid of just plugging into their amp and seeing what they can come up with, or assume that if you don't use 4 delays, 5 fuzzes, 10 modulation pedals you must be playing blues rock. It's usually either all the ego driven 'I need this pedal' mentality or just a crutch for bad musicianship. I've been there with the pedal lust and having to run a big board but really it didn't do me a ton of good as a musician and it's refreshing to come out the other side of it. Sorry Loobs but I'm probably not the only person here who found your post a little insulting. I've never personally seen any evidence of this old canard that guys with huge pedalboards use them "just a crutch for bad musicianship". Most of the guys I've seen with lots of effects are either great players looking to expand their sound or guys that don't have great chops but are very inventive and have a vision. I think there are a lot of musicians out there that are intimidated by big effects boards, they don't that the technical mind to know how create great sounds with the stuff. To each his own, there's room for the guy plugging straight in and the person who wants to process the hell out of his sound. Neither way is better than the other. As far as the Freeze pedal is concerned, I've been tempted to get one. I have a thing for drones and symphonic textures. I love trying to get my bar band to sound like an orchestra. So holding those chords might be cool way of doing that, or it could just wind up being another pedal that get's thrown on the shelf till I have time to put it up on CL.

Members magnum pi Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 If I could afford it I would have every pedal ever. Also, I think I could get in to using a freeze. I like pedals that limit you a bit and kind of force you in to having a cohesive sound, I guess its just a question of how many pedals you want on your board at once and prioritizing.

Members Poltergeist Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 how does it sound in front of the amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members misterstomach Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 I would like to have one. When i had a cathedral i liked using the infinite function to create drone notes, usually under slower clean parts. I really liked it and could definitely see the use in a dedicated pedal for that sort of thing. I've wanted one ever since i had the cathedral, but haven't been able to prioritize spending the money on one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jenesis Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've got one. I like it. Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eti Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 Too many other pedals I'd rather have before a freeze. But if I could afford, say, 10 new pedals a freeze would be one of them. But then again, I'd prolly get a HOG if I could afford that many pedals.

Members pepperduck Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have one. Not essential to my setup but it adds a lot of interesting ideas. It wouldn't be the end of the world if I didn't have it, but its a fun tool to have We seem to have quite a bit in common. I might have to change my Avatar to Ashy Larry, or Buck Nasty.

Members Aristotle Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have one on my small board. I like it. It's a unique tool, but it wouldn't say it's as integral to what I do as an overdrive pedal or a looper. I have one on my board, to me it's the most innovative pedal in the last 30 years. It is certainly innovative; a future classic for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mind_Riot89 Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've got one, mainly because it's the closest I can get to live looping without loops going out of time due to the drummer not being able to hear me. If that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Warpsmasher Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've had a HOG and a Freeze, and found myself wishing both were more like the Teaspoon CAS, or the grain shifting of the KP-3. Longer sample time god dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members n!k Posted February 24, 2012 Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 Have the HOG, love the Freeze/Glissando function. The frozen chord does sound a little "compressed," even with the filter bypassed, but I don't think it's bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Will Chen Posted June 20, 2012 Members Share Posted June 20, 2012 Had one since it came out and love what it does, but haven't incorporated it into anything yet. Though on the cusp of some ideas for including it into some songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually either all the ego driven 'I need this pedal' mentality or just a crutch for bad musicianship.True. But I can't buy talent. Only pedals. And yes I would love to have a Freeze. I've used the Freeze from my ME-25 on several songs I've recorded and love it even though the frozen tone sounds like a washed out stuck reverb.

Members Reauchambeau Posted June 20, 2012 Members Share Posted June 20, 2012 I want a second one on my board. I play bass in a band that improvises live and the ability to freeze chords and easily change chords is incredible to me. it sounds better on bass chords to me, than guitar, it suits the lower register better (to my ears).if I played bass in a conventional band it would be pretty much useless as I'm sure it is to most players in general.
