About This Item
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.
