Three selectable modes control how that capture behaves. In Fast mode, sustain begins the instant the footswitch is pressed and holds for as long as it's held down. In Slow mode, the captured signal fades in gradually before sustaining, then fades back to silence gradually on release, with the fade duration selectable across three preset lengths. In Latch mode, the captured sound continues sustaining even after the footswitch is released, allowing further sounds to be captured on top — useful for building sustained chord progressions — with a double-tap on the footswitch used to kill the effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA single Effect Level knob sets the volume of the sustained signal, which sits alongside the unaffected dry signal at its original volume, allowing the frozen sound to be blended in at any level from a subtle backing texture through to a fully dominant drone. Because the Freeze's underlying circuitry requires it, the pedal uses high-quality buffered bypass rather than the true bypass found on most other EHX pedals — a deliberate design choice necessary for the sound-capture technology to function reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKEY FEATURES: Electro-Harmonix Freeze Sound Retainer Pedal\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfinite Sustain At The Press Of A Footswitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freezes any note or chord indefinitely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 Selectable Modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast (instant sustain), Slow (gradual fade in\/out, 3 preset durations), Latch (sustains after release, double-tap to kill).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffect Level Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blends sustained signal against the always-present dry signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStatus LED:\u003c\/strong\u003e Illuminated while the effect is sounding or fading out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuffered Bypass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Required for the sound-capture circuitry to function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDerived From The HOG's Freeze Gliss Function.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9.6VDC-200mA Power Adapter Included.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Electro-Harmonix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58518677487951,"sku":"FREEZE","price":114.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/3344\/9551\/files\/f1.webp?v=1787157075","url":"https:\/\/www.audiodirect.co.uk\/products\/electro-harmonix-freeze-sound-retainer-pedal","provider":"Audio Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
