Introducció
The Electro-Harmonix Freeze Sound Retainer Pedal is designed to capture and sustain any note or chord, creating a continuous sonic foundation. This pedal offers three distinct decay modes, allowing for versatile sound manipulation. It is an effective tool for musicians seeking to expand their tonal palette with sustained effects.
Configuració
Follow these steps to set up your Freeze Sound Retainer Pedal:
- Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the included 9.6VDC 200mA power supply to the 9V power jack on the rear of the pedal. Ensure the power supply is compatible and correctly oriented.
- Entrada d'àudio: Connecta el teu instrument (per exemple, la guitarra) a ENTRADA jack al costat dret del pedal mitjançant un cable d'instrument estàndard de 1/4 de polzada.
- Sortida d'àudio: Connecteu el AMP presa al costat esquerre del pedal al vostre amplificador o el següent pedal de la cadena de senyals utilitzant un cable d'instrument estàndard de 1/4 de polzada.
- Col·locació de la cadena de senyals: The Freeze pedal typically performs best when placed later in your effects chain, after modulation, delay, and reverb pedals, but before your amplifier. Experiment with placement to achieve desired results.

Instruccions de funcionament
The Freeze pedal features a momentary footswitch and a three-position mode switch to control the sustain effect.
Controls:
- Interruptor de peu: This is a momentary footswitch. Press and hold to capture and sustain the current sound. Release to end the sustain.
- Effect Level Knob: Controls the volume of the sustained sound. Turn clockwise to increase the level, counter-clockwise to decrease.
- Mode Switch (FAST/SLOW/LATCH): Selects the decay characteristic of the sustained sound.
- RÀPID: Provides a quick decay of the sustained sound after the footswitch is released.
- LENT: Offers a gradual, slower decay of the sustained sound after the footswitch is released.
- CERCA: Engages infinite sustain. Press and release the footswitch once to latch the current sound. Press and release again to disengage the latch and stop the sustain.
Funcionament bàsic:
- Ensure the pedal is powered and connected correctly.
- Play a note or chord on your instrument.
- While the note/chord is sounding, press and hold the footswitch to capture the sound. The red LED will illuminate, indicating the sound is being sustained.
- Release the footswitch to end the sustain (in FAST or SLOW mode). In LATCH mode, press and release again to end.
- Adjust the Effect Level knob to blend the sustained sound with your live playing.
- Experiment with the FAST, SLOW, and LATCH modes to find the desired decay characteristic for your sustained sounds.

| No fa so quan s'acciona el pedal. | Incorrect power supply; cables not connected properly; Effect Level knob set to minimum. | Verify power supply (9.6VDC 200mA); check all audio cables; increase Effect Level knob. |
| Sustained sound is too quiet or too loud. | Effect Level knob adjustment needed. | Adjust the Effect Level knob to achieve the desired volume balance. |
| Sustain does not stop immediately after releasing footswitch. | Pedal is in SLOW or LATCH mode. | Switch to FAST mode for immediate decay. In LATCH mode, press and release the footswitch again to disengage. |
