I might play around the œhold function on my Boss Digital Delay and see what I can come up with. I ve only ever used that setting to try and rip-off Don Cab s stutter delay.I really like Freeze into a couple of gain pedals for this - with a bit of gain/fuzz, you lose the granular "frozen" stillness of the Freeze, unless that's what you want.

I do stuff like this all the time, this is what works for me:Set up an empty loop of an appropriate length. Put the looper in overdub mode. Fade in the note you want to loop. Let it sustain through three or four passes through the loop, one on top of the other. Fade out the note.The several overdubbed passes will both provide a beefier, richer version of the tone and effectively bury the fade in/fade out.

I ve only ever used that setting to try and rip-off Don Cab s stutter delay.The Freeze does EXACTLY this. And it sounds pretty organic because is very slightly/slowly modulates the microloop. I recently upgraded to the Superego which is way more flexible version of the same thing if you want to change notes multiple times during a song. Now I want the damn Superego+ just so I can get the latch/auto/momentary mode function as a button...

I'm super surprised with how quick their mail turnaround from Latvia is.The Plus Pedal seems like the most elegant and functionally appropriate form to do what the pedal is supposed to do. The effects loop seems like a weird, but super wild feature.I'm a fool for anything with an effects loop. The Plus Pedal is probably too cool for me but I'd still hit it if I had a need for anything like that.

It can be tricky in the moment, though. I had and liked the Freeze, but I just couldn't get it work how I wanted. The level had to be set for either clean or dirty because switching between the two had radically different unity volumes.

If there's a discrepancy without the pedal, there's certainly going to be a discrepancy with the pedal. For the record I use mine at the end of my pedal chain. Not really the setup the OP was asking about, but a really fun thing about the Superego (in addition to the effects loop that only affects the frozen sound) is the ability to send the frozen sound to a completely different amp. So that amp is only getting those notes, which is great if you are recording so you can process and level that separately after the fact. It also helps separate things making it all sound bigger and clearer sounding.
