Electro-Harmonix Pico Deep Freeze Sound Retainer / Sustainer Pedal. Expanded Freeze in a pico-sized package! Sitting between the original Freeze and Superego pedals, the Pico Deep Freeze can instantly freeze a moment in sound, acting as a sustain pedal to hold chords and notes as a backing layer or as a platform to transform your tone into new, experimental textures. In addition to the original Freeze’s capabilities, the Deep Freeze adds layering, adjustable attack/decay speeds, glissando, dedicated DRY and EFFECT volume controls, and three operation modes: Latch, Moment, and Auto. Latch mode freezes sound with a tap until bypassed, Moment mode sustains only while the footswitch is held, and Auto mode automatically freezes new sounds when it detects signal above a threshold, allowing virtually hands-free operation. GLISS controls morph time between frozen sounds for smooth transitions, while SPEED/LAYER adjusts fade times in Moment and Auto modes or controls layering in Latch mode, enabling even impossible chord combinations. Product Highlights: Compact Pico chassis. Instantly capture and freeze input sound. Three modes—Latch, Moment, and Auto. DRY and EFFECT volume controls. SPEED adjusts attack/decay in Moment and Auto modes. LAYER controls layering in Latch mode. GLISS sets morph speed between frozen sounds. Selectable bypass topologies. Power adapter included. Product Features: Power Jack: 9VDC, 100mA center-negative. Mode Button: Selects Latch (green), Moment (orange), or Auto (red) mode. Dry Knob: Adjusts dry signal level. Effect Knob: Adjusts frozen signal level. Speed/Layer Knob: Controls layering amount in Latch mode, fade time in Moment mode, and decay or attack time in Auto mode. Gliss Knob: Sets morph speed between freezes; full counterclockwise disables gliss. Output Jack: Audio output. Input Jack: Audio input. Footswitch & LED: Engages/bypasses effect; LED color indicates mode. Product Specifications: Circuit: Digital. Bypass: Buffered Bypass. Audio: Mono. Power Supply: 9.6VDC-200mA power adapter included. Dimensions (in): 3.65 x 2.0 x 2.0. Current Draw: 100mA. Year Released: 2023. UPC: 683274012490.

Layer and gliss controls allow dynamic sound transitions by adjusting how sustained tones evolve and shift over time. This creates smooth blending and unique textures, making it ideal for musicians who want advanced ambient effects in both live performance environments and professional studio recording applications.
Freeze mode control allows sustaining and layering sound by capturing and holding audio for continuous playback, enabling evolving textures and soundscapes. This enhances creative expression, making it ideal for musicians who want advanced ambient effects in both live performance environments and professional studio recording applications.
Layer control allows building complex sound textures by stacking sustained audio signals for evolving and immersive soundscapes. This expands creative potential and enhances depth, making it ideal for musicians who want advanced ambient effects in both live performance environments and professional studio recording applications.
Energy efficient design optimizes power consumption by reducing unnecessary energy usage while maintaining full device functionality and performance. This improves long term efficiency and sustainability, making it ideal for users who want cost effective and environmentally conscious operation in both home and professional smart system environments.
