So I've had this for a few years now it's called the Freeze Petal and do I still use it? Hey what's going on people check it out so I wanted to talk a little bit about this pedal I've done a review on it and it was a few years ago but I want to answer the question do I still use it? And the answer is yes all the time I still use this pedal it's such a great practice tool to use and if you guys want to see the full review of this video slash demo that I did it was a few years ago it was about 80 pounds heavier so I may look a little bit different but check out that video I may link it up in the cards or in the description it's just called the Freeze Petal demo So I'll show you guys a few clips of how this works only reason why I'm doing that is because I'm doing a lot of renovating and remodeling in my house and also my studio slash office is getting renovated as well so it's going to be some time I can't really have the setup that I want right now but anyway I'll just go through this because I got this question recently about this pedal it's by Electro Harmonics most of the pedals that I have or I have a relationship with MXR Jim Dunlop pedals and products I use a lot of that stuff the Looper clone looper the envelope filter the reverb everything every single pedal that I have is MXR but this one is a little bit different so it's by Electro Harmonics like I said very very cool pedal very simple to use and if you see here I don't know if you can see that I don't know if it'll focus on that there it is so here's a little idea of exactly how this works so I'm pressing the actual the main button here and I have it on latch so when I click that it holds the chord for me and I can play on top of it so let's do this again so I play the chord first okay so I guess I get the hang of it so you can play a note or a chord anything and then press that button and it'll hold it for you so let's see what fast does I'm doing everything with my foot so I flip this switch up too fast and let's see so if I play a oh so okay so fast it seems like okay so you hold down that you hold down that switch for the fast and like when you let it go it cuts off so as you guys can see it's great to use for practice just holding out a note or a chord and playing on top of that I use this for my practice when I'm trying to play or solo on top of a chord I will play the one chord and then I'll try to solo on top of it so I can hear that chord underneath my playing because that's some of the struggle that I had in beginning because I like playing with other musicians and you know they can hold out chords and they can play a jam or a groove and then most times we're busy holding down a bass line so we can't really venture off like everybody else can in a band situation so you can have that at home by yourself with this I'm just thinking of ways this can be so beneficial for your practice routine and you can hear that one note droning and then you can play the scale on top of that or whatever scale you're playing to or whatever is related to or you can play the chord on top of that let me stop it so you can play the chord on top of that and actually play the scale to see how it relates so if I just wanted to play a C there's a C now I can play my C major scale I can play a C Dorian scale so you can see how it sounds in relation to the root note so that's one of the main reasons why I like this pedal why I use this pedal in my everyday practice it's not necessarily a performance thing that I use it for I'm sure a lot of people use it for a performance type of vibe I'm sure I know one guy here on YouTube Yennec was Dala I think that's his name I use a lot of pedals and he might use one of these I'm not sure but I'm you know I'm the basic guy I don't use tons of pedals like that maybe just a few here and there maybe a Y here a octave pedal there you know something like that I don't go crazy with it but there's tons of guys that do but this is one that is very very valuable and it's really actually not that much money it really doesn't cost that much at all it's a regular price of a pedal anyway so if you guys are interested in this I'll put the link to this down in the description hopefully you guys are doing cool doing okay doing well during the season I've got my tree up here that's the only thing that's up I might sound like I have an echo because I'm in a room like there's nothing at all so there's a lot of echo in this room but anyway hopefully you guys got a little something out of that and showed you the way that this works you can also check out the demo like I said before in the past next week we'll be back with another lesson another video you already know that's what we're going to do we do that every single week so be sure to subscribe if you haven't if you're new here click that red subscribe button it doesn't cost you anything to do that or hit the like button or the dislike button doesn't matter it doesn't cost you anything to do that even so just your honest opinion like to chop it up with you guys in the comments make sure your notes are coming out clean clear and precise like I say after every single video if you're new here you'll get used to that and I'll check you guys in the next one peace
