Electro Harmonix Freeze maybe?

Is there anyway the ultra can produce something of this nature? Im considering purchasing it but i wasn't sure if something like this could be done. Any insight would be awesome. Thanks guys!

Do a search. It's been covered pretty extensively in the past. Yes, it can be done.

Actually, I've yet to find anyone's suggestion that works like a Freeze pedal, includes Yeks. I own a Freeze- clean tone in, clean held note out, works immediately without needing to slowly sweep into it. If the Axe-FX can accurately do what an EHX Freeze does, I haven't seen anyone do it yet.

Keep looking then. I've heard the clips of the Axe-FX doing it, but I'm not inclined to go dig them up. The pedal never interested me all that much...

I've looked The closest I've heard was one by JavaJunkie that didn't have the simplest interface and seemed to still have a bit of a delay effect on the held note. To get it to do what the Freeze does, you'd need to have a clean tone in, clean held note, and clean tone to play over the held note, along with a simple interface for changing held notes quickly. If the pedal never interested you much, you might not know how differently it works/sounds than what's been done with the Axe.

Yes, it certainly is a 'cool' pedal...

in my version you just rock a controller back and forth to capture whatever's playing. i don't think it works in the same way the freeze does, but then again i don't know how the freeze actually works. personally, i think mine sounds nicer, but then i've only heard crummy youtube demos of the ehx.

As you know you, can easily do it with a switch as well.

Sounds pretty darned good to me. Better than the clips of the EHX Freeze I heard.

Dangit! I forgot my ears only worked when I was considering buying a pedal. I'm not capable of critical listening under any other circumstances, or at least my conclusions can't be trusted...

Nevertheless, I like some of the Axe clips better than the ones I've heard from the Freeze. It's a cool idea, but I don't really need it for my playing needs. If I did, I'd get the sound in the Axe-FX before I would buy that pedal.

Geez- wake up on the wrong side of the bed today buddy?

Critical listening means nothing when speaking of the functionality of a pedal. Hearing the Axe hold an affected chord does not mean you've heard it do what a Freeze can do. While the clips I've heard using the Axe sound lovely, I haven't heard anyone replicate the usefulness of the Freeze yet (which includes clean freezes and quick sample changes). Also, the Freeze can sound perfectly fine when used properly- I'm sure Simeon could make a clip using it that would sound just as nice as his sample with the Axe...then again, he could probably make a tin can sound like a million bucks too

FWIW, I'd LOVE it if someone found a way to make the Axe function just like the Freeze so I could get it off of my pedalboard. It's been on my Axe wish list for a while.
