FREEZE
Infinite Sound Retainer
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix FREEZE pedal! At the
simple push of a button, the FREEZE will allow you to sustain individual notes and
chords indefinitely. With three different modes of operation, it’s easy to set up just
the right type of sound retention for the club, the studio or your bedroom.
– CONTROLS –
EFFECT LEVEL – Controls the volume of the sustained sound. The output
always contains the dry signal at its original volume
MODE SWITCH – Selects between one of three effect modes: AST, SLOW, and
LATCH. See the MODE DESCRIPTIONS section for more detail.
STATUS LED – The LED is on while the effect is sounding or fading out. When the
LED is off, the effect is completely silenced and the output contains only the pure dry
signal.
INPUT JACK – Connect the output of your instrument or another effects pedal to
this jack. The input impedance presented at the INPUT jack is 2.2 MΩ.
AMP JACK – Connect the AMP jack to your amplifier input or the input of another
effects pedal. The output impedance at this jack is 470Ω.
9V Power Jac – Plug the output of the supplied AC Adapter into this jack located
at the top of the FREEZE. The FREEZE’s current requirement is 140mA at 9VDC.
The polarity of the power jack is center-negative. The FREEZE accepts most Boss
style AC Adapters.
– MODE DESCRIPTIONS –
FAST – When the footswitch is triggered, the FREEZE will immediately sustain the
current input. The sound will be sustained until the footswitch is released, at which
point the effect will immediately disengage.
WARNING: Your reeze pedal comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix
9.6DC-200BI power supply (same as used by Boss™ & Ibanez™: 9.6 Volts
DC 200mA). The reeze requires 140mA at 9VDC with a plug that is center
negative. The reeze does not take batteries. Using the wrong adapter may
damage your unit and void the warranty.

SLOW – When the footswitch is triggered, the FREEZE will sustain the current input,
fading in the effect. The sound will be sustained until the footswitch is released, at
which point the effect will fade out slowly. The speed of the fade can be set during
slow-speed initialization. See below.
LATCH – When the footswitch is triggered, the FREEZE will immediately sustain
your current sound. The sound will continue to be sustained upon releasing the
footswitch. When the footswitch is triggered again, the FREEZE will immediately
replace the sustained sound with the new current input. A double-tap on the
footswitch will silence the effect.
– SLOW-SPEED INITILAZATION –
The speed at which the effect fades in/out in SLOW mode can be adjusted by
following these steps:
1) Unplug the power jack
2) Hold down the footswitch
3) While holding down the footswitch, plug in the power jack (LED will blink)
4) Move the mode switch to the preferred setting based on this table:
Switch Position Fade-in Speed Fade-out Speed
Up 200ms 400ms
Middle 200ms 1.0 sec
Down 800ms 3.2 sec
5) Release the footswitch, the REEZE is ready for normal operation.
The FREEZE will retain the chosen fade speed through power cycles and will not
change until reinitialized.
