In this video I’m going to show you a new effects pedal I’ve just bought that’s been blowing my mind…
I’ve been having so much fun using it within my practice time that I wanted to show you how I’ve been using it - and more importantly WHY I’ve been using it.
I should also say, I’m totally un-affiliated with the company who make this pedal… so there’s no weird motives for me to make this video… the pedal’s just been rocking my world so much I wanted to share it with you guys :)
As always, I’d love to hear from you too… What pedals are rocking your world at the moment?! Lemme know what and why in the comments below the video…
See you in the shed…
Scott :)

I don't care particularly about this pedal, but I finally got to hear a little sneak of Scott the artist and I have to say I could listen to that drone jamming for a long time. Scott is more than a teacher I suspect.

One really cheap and important mod for this pedal (and EH's Kill Switch pedal too) is replacing the stock foot switch, which makes a loud click every time you step on it with a silent momentary switch. There are many to be found on ebay for just a buck or two, they are direct replacements, size wise, and require just a couple soldier points that anyone with a soldering iron can do. Takes less than 5 minutes, and you can dance away on the pedal without click, click, click.

I had an EHX Freeze, but sold it once I got the EHX Superego. Essentially the same pedal, but with a few extra bells and whistles, such as an effect send/return, wet/dry mix, and gliss modes. Worth a look into if peeps want to see what else is achievable with this type of effect.

Helium Road oh yeah the Freeze is totally bang on the mark for what it does and use it for a fair amount of things. What I found online was someone had modded a freeze to have pretty much all the features that the Superego does, charging to do the mod etc. All totally reasonable, but of course by the time you've bought a Freeze, paid for the mods etc you're better off purchasing the Superego. The one thing I didn't do was see how much fun you can have with both pedals at the same time!

I just bought one last Sunday! It is great. I love using it with bowing upright bass scales. Really great for focusing on intonation. The other cool trick I've found is triggering it on beat one while playing bossa nova bass lines. It's like adding a string pad to your bass line. So much fun. Thanks for the great videos Scott.

@williammitchell6921 7 жыл бұрын
Yes, a drone note (or notes) is great to practice scales and modes over. I also use them a lot to create ambient soundscapes on my bass. It is also very easy to make continuous drone loops with a loop pedal, like a Ditto or a Jamman. I like to make looped drones because I can incorporate a repeating swell or decay of the drone note into the loop, which makes it more interesting and fun, in my opinion, because it adds a rhythmic, or pulse, component. Of course you can also create infinite number of drone layers on a loop pedal by overdubbing. On the other hand, if you want to seamlessly transition from one drone to another, it looks like the Freeze sustain pedal would be easier.

Hey Scott! I have learned a lot from you! That bass look so comfortable and that string spacing too. If I am not mistaken it is 16mm. That is what I prefer on basses. Anyway, I love that pedal, and I can see many uses for it, and I would like to get it, but I am currently very much on budget. Can you recommend a cheaper alternative? Even used one are more than 70euros.
@jamessandeman7548 7 жыл бұрын
Very cool (pardon the pun)! I bought a trio pedal a little while back for guitar but have been using it more for the bass, can't do the context thing without the click like freeze but I can still get context from listening to the bass line generated by the chords I play into it and then just turn the bass down and play with the drums. It's fun and the options to change the style keeps it interesting 😊

+1 for the Freeze. I looked for others but none do the seamless loop as well as this pedal. Also try the Superego pedal which does 'freeze-on-freeze' for full chords and also dynamic capture for 'freeze-as-you-go' depending on playing dynamics eg loud=freeze, softer=no freeze.

I really enjoy this pedal. Originally I bought it when I got my EUB for creating quick drones while practicing intonation, and have actually found myself using it a lot while going through your SBL Harmonic Layering Course. Also really enjoy using it while practicing arpeggios through standards and sustaining the root of each chord in fast mode. Out of curiosity what TonePrint are you using on your Flashback Mini?

As far a drone tone it's useful if your working on intonation on an upright or fretless bass but as far as practicing different chord types maj /min / dim and so on you do not hear the whole chord all you hear is a root note I prefer to hear the whole chord the root, 3rd, 5th, 7, 9th and so on if that's what I am working on then I can really hear the chordal 'sound' can't get that with a drone tone
