Product Overview
The Deep Freeze features a robust, compact Pico chassis built for durability and pedalboard efficiency. Its sleek design houses sophisticated digital circuitry that captures audio with exceptional clarity and minimal latency.

Comprehensive control options include dedicated dry and effect volume knobs, adjustable attack/decay speeds, layering capabilities, and glissando control—all packed into a pedalboard-friendly footprint that belies its powerful functionality.
Ideal For
- Ambient guitarists seeking lush, evolving soundscapes without traditional delay or reverb
- Experimental musicians looking to create unique textures and impossible chord structures
- Live performers who need hands-free sound sustain for solo playing or transitions
- Studio artists demanding innovative tools for creating distinctive sound layers
- Worship guitarists creating sustained pad-like textures for musical transitions
Key Features
Three Versatile Modes
The Deep Freeze offers Latch mode for sustained freezes that continue until deactivated, Moment mode that freezes only while the footswitch is held, and Auto mode that captures sound automatically based on input threshold—providing flexibility for any playing situation.
Dedicated Volume Controls
Independent DRY and EFFECT volume knobs allow precise blending of your direct guitar signal with the frozen effect, ranging from subtle background textures to dramatic 100% wet soundscapes.
Intelligent Layering
In Latch mode, the LAYER control determines how previous layers attenuate when adding new frozen sounds, allowing for the creation of complex chords and harmonic structures that would be impossible to play conventionally.
Glissando Control
The GLISS knob adjusts morph time between frozen sounds, creating otherworldly transitions that transform static tones into evolving, ambient textures perfect for experimental music and sound design.
Speed Adjustment
The SPEED control modifies attack and decay times in Moment and Auto modes, giving you precise control over how quickly the effect engages and fades, from instantaneous freezes to gradual swells.
