Re: Electro Harmonix Freeze - Sound Retainer

nice!

there was much discussion on the axefx forum when this pedal came out about whether the axefx could do something similar. it was easy to do actually, but using very long delays and reverb to create the freeze texture and tying feedback + input to a pedal.

thing I like about the Vortex is that after working out
a patch for a specific purpose there's usually other
sounds that can be had by 'mis-using ' it.

the same patch abused:-

Anyone remember the days when we used to crave for the mythical "8 second Vortex"?

That whole morphing thing is still very much unexplored,
the Vortex only has 2 delay units of 1s which can morph
from into a single 2s.

Further to this idea I suceeded last night in making a "version" of this effect in the vortex. using a very short delay speed with feedback 100, and an alternative B patch with NO morph speed, I could jump from one to the other quite quickly..
