FAQs

What is the difference between the modes?

Latch mode freezes the sound each time you press the footswitch. Moment mode freezes the sound only while you hold the footswitch. Auto mode freezes the sound automatically when it senses an input signal.

Can I use the pedal with bass guitar?

Yes, the Deep Freeze works great with bass guitar.

What does the GLISS control do?

The GLISS control adjusts the morphing time between frozen sounds, which can create evolving effects.

What does the SPEED/LAYER knob do?

In Moment and Auto modes, the SPEED/LAYER knob adjusts the attack or decay times. In Latch mode, it controls the amount of layering.

Is a power supply included?

Yes, a power adapter is included with the pedal.

Can the pedal be placed anywhere in the effects chain?

Yes, but placing it after any gain/distortion pedals will give a good result.

How do I maintain the pedal?

Keep it clean, avoid extreme temperatures/humidity, and don't spill liquids on it. Store it in a safe place when not in use.

What is the warranty period?

The warranty period is not stated in the provided data.

Troubleshooting

No sound output.

Check all connections (input, output, power). Ensure the pedal is powered on and the amplifier is also on.

Frozen sound is distorted.

Adjust input gain and output levels to avoid clipping. Try lowering the volume of the guitar or effect pedal before it.

Pedal doesn't freeze the sound.

Ensure the footswitch is engaged (Latch or Moment mode). In Auto mode, make sure the input signal is above the threshold.

The frozen sound is too quiet.

Increase the EFFECT volume using the knob. Ensure that your output amp is turned up.
