Arctic Sustainer
The EHX Freeze is a compact sound retainer pedal that captures and sustains a momentary snapshot of your guitar signal, allowing you to layer sustained chords or notes over your playing. It features three modes, Fast, Slow, and Latch, for different sustain behaviors, and a simple control layout with Effect Level and Footswitch. The Freeze is widely used for creating ambient textures, pads, and drone effects, making it a versatile tool for both live performance and studio work.
