Freeze Sound Retainer : does what it says

very nicely indeed. the sound really is frozen, and what you get feels like the last thing you played has been stopped at some sonic event horizon - this does mean that the quality of the sound has little feeling in it and is as flat as a pancake but (in my case) liberates you to create all sorts of cool contrapuntal b3 type effects bt rapidly switching the sustained note but keeping it floating across bars. it's a simple effect that really has the potential to be a huge musical tool. build q is EHX usual, ie simultaneously both rugged and slightly crap. but toggle switch is blissfully quiet. all in all - a bargain and an essential addition to a pedalboard. ehx really should make the gliss freeze on the HOG 2 available as a sep. effect, though. they'd sell a million.
