This example combines many characteristics from the presets above. Dry+multi-FX, an INF component that’s not really infinite, and sensitive toggling to FREEZE, with a dry signal overlay. It’s a FREEZE-type effect that stays out of the way; switchable to an in-your-face FREEZE effect to perform over.
HotSwitch OFF
At default, the dry signal is followed by a one-measure PRE DELAY. LOW- / HIGH-LEVEL and LOW / HIGH DECAY tweak the EQ & contour of the main DECAY / SIZE hall parameters. The result is a boomy impact that fragments into an upper frequency wash. Like biting into a SweeTart [tm].
HotSwitch ON
There are three places in the HALL algo to target INF / FREEZE: LOW DECAY, HIGH DECAY, or the overall ‘master’ DECAY parameter (used here). Latching the HotSwitch ON immediately locks in a strong FREEZE signal. Dry can be played over the FREEZE drone. Switching back to HotSwitch OFF, there’s a smooth fade, followed by disintegration back to the pre-delayed reverb default.
Expression Pedal Heel: MOD-LEVEL 0
Expression Pedal Toe: MOD-LEVEL 100
An under-rated modulation effect here. It seems to me that MOD-LEVEL changes more than just the level of random modulation. In any case, it’s a great effect. It seems to ‘bend’ reverb and FREEZE signals, but tonality can remain centered (or not?). I’ve set the expression pedal mapping for a full range of subtle to extreme modulation FX. Varying the MOD-LEVEL will also hasten the DECAY of any current reverb / FREEZE FX.
