Members tape Posted August 9, 2010 Members Share Posted August 9, 2010 I've got some naughty plans when I get mine. such as downclocking the oscillator (or emulating one with a variable pulse) for ultra lo fi ness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Coma Larkin Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 One of my favorite things about Bill's demos is that they don't seem to have that shrill clickiness at the beginning of picked notes that I associated w/ most other EHX demos. I'm not sure if that's just the way that Larry DeMarco plays, YouTube compression, or the overall sound of EHX pedals these days but it makes me cringe.

Members woolyh Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 Now that I think about it, this is the first decent demo of the Freeze that I've seen. That stuff from NAMM didn't do is justice.+1 great demoLarry Demarco's losing his touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members baranger1 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks Viper.A lot of the youtube demos you hear are live in a phone booth sized room at Namm with a camcorder mic crapping out at everything it hears.Add to that the youtube audio is the worst!It takes mids and garbles them up to the point it makes me crazy.On top of it, when to that when I do guitar pads its ALL mids!Mp3,s sound like final records compared to youtube audio.They keep getting the video better but my god the audio compression is so weak.There again the price is right and 90% of whats up there is just people talking into their camcorder.BillOne of my favorite things about Bill's demos is that they don't seem to have that shrill clickiness at the beginning of picked notes that I associated w/ most other EHX demos.

Members thezeng Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 That was awesome.Bill, do you find it better if the freeze is placed at the beginning of the chain, rather then after all effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baranger1 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks thezeng!Well there never is a right and wrong order for any effect but.. I like this one in the front of the chain and that,s where I place it.The effect is mono and I often like a stereo effect at the end of the chain to widen the sound when recording.Also if there is a modulation effect like chorus, placeing it before the freeze only freezes a very tiny bit of the chorus effects sweep.Having the chorus after the Freeze lets it modulate the frozen signal giving it the effect that it is a very long sample or or non static sound.I would place a compressor in front of the Freeze.Again this all goes out the window when you sit down and experiment!BillThat was awesome.Bill, do you find it better if the freeze is placed at the beginning of the chain, rather then after all effects?
