\"\"During the last years, two pedals have been put on the market which are especially interesting for sound scaping and ambient fans.
\nIn principle, both effects are quite similar.
\nThe Gamechanger Audio Plus Pedal, as well as the Electro Harmonix Freeze are so-called sustain-pedals, that are able to record and reproduce single notes or parts of chords via an integrated looper.
\nIn contrast to glitch delays, loopers and stutter effects, the samples are quite short though the signal appears as if the sustain stays for a long time \u2013 comparable to a piano or synthesizer.
\nAlthough the pedals are pretty alike, they vary in some aspects.<\/p>\n

Kill Dry<\/h3>\n

The Plus Pedal<\/a> provides the so-called \u201cKill Dry\u201d which enables the user to mute the dry signal.
\nThe Freeze<\/a> always adds the dry signal.<\/p>\n

Knobs<\/h3>\n

The Freeze comes along with one simple knob which allows the adjustment of the wet signals volume. The different aspects of the sustain can be adjusted via the three positions of the toggle switch.
\nThe four knobs of the Plus Pedal permit to adjust the quantity of the wet signal added to the whole sound (blend), the speed of the fading-in (rise) and the different aspects of the sustain (sustain\/ tail).
\nThe volume of the signal can also be adjusted via the sustain-pedal: pushed down half the way, a lighter, quieter signal will be sustained, by fully depressing the pedal, the signal will be louder.
\nAnd, besides its four knobs, the Plus Pedal does also offer a toggle switch to choose between a mixed dry\/wet and a pure wet signal.
\nAnother knob allows to choose between Single and Group Mode. This mode defines how many layers are laid on top of each other.<\/p>\n

In- and outputs<\/h3>\n

Here also, the Freeze excels in clear massages: it has one in- and one output.<\/p>\n

The Plus Pedal offers a \u201cClean Out\u201d which sends the clean signal continuously and therefore can be used to create a stereo effect with two amplifiers.
\nFurthermore, the FX loop of the Plus Pedal offers the connection with various other pedals which deal only with the wet signal.
\nThe \u201cWET ONLY\u201d mode, enables the user to totally mute the clean signal by using the additional foot switch.
\nAnd via an XLR adapter, the Plus Pedal can also be used to work with vocal signals.<\/p>\n

The sound<\/h3>\n

The Plus Pedal is pretty versatile and sounds quite natural. Therefore, it is the perfect companion for slow \/spherical sounds.
\nThe sustain knob permits the reduction of treble to create a natural and acoustic tone.
\nThe Freeze captivates through its simple handling. Its short attack-times make it act very dynamically and therefore, this pedal is ideal for fast changeovers.
\nThe tone always stays more synthetic.<\/p>\n

In the end, the decision for one of these pedals depends on what you are planning to use it for and in what sense you are willing to engage in knob- twiddling.<\/p>\n

In my honest opinion, both pedals work very well in its own area and I hope, this article and this video<\/a> might help adventurous sound freaks to decide which pedal they will get.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
