Mimmotronics' EHX Freeze Mods

[@burado1974]

The wet out mod sounds awesome!

[@joobchrismac8706]

Disagree it have to be solide freeze

[@mazklassa9338]

Dude this is an excellent demo of what can be done with this thing.

[@bettermetalsnake95]

You should add a toggle switch to jump the fx loop connection when you aren't using it.

[@MJGM55]

Is there a way to have the signal run through the pedal until you freeze a chord? So when a chord is frozen, all other playing is muted until it is unfrozen...?

[@KeithKemp]

SO SICK! Thanks for posting this, making this mod.

[@darkambience]

is it possible to have a wet and dry out until you step on the pedal and only have the wet signal come out?

[@mimmotronics]

Hi there, I'm not sure if I understand your request. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail with a little more detail. Thanks!

[@modernfools]

HEY! have you tried the external jack with a keyboard sustain pedal?

[@mimmotronics]

Hi Modern Fools, Thanks for commenting! Yes, the Outsource Mod can also be triggered via a keyboard sustain pedal. If you're insterested in having the mod done you can email me at mimmotronics(at)gmail.com

[@modernfools]

@@mimmotronics I ended up doing the mod myself, & loving the new sustain pedal function!

[@mimmotronics]

@@modernfools Love to hear it!!! Enjoy!

[@wagohowardmusic]

Why is the floor bending…? Answer! Music!

[@UndecidedCinema705]

i’ve been trying for weeks to add an expression jack but every time i turn it on the LED starts flashing. I don’t know what to do! pls help!

[@mimmotronics]

I've had a problem with the LED flashing before, I believe that happens when the chassis is shorted with the +5V line. I think there's some voltage detection circuitry that tells the DSP when that happens as a form of voltage protection. If you're trying to install an expression jack, chances are there is positive power coming into contact with the chassis or ground of the circuit board. Hope this helps.

[@UndecidedCinema705]

Mimmotronics Effects I’ve tried to insulate the openings as best as i could with hot glue, but still trouble. Is there a way I can send pictures and you can help me out?

[@mimmotronics]

@@UndecidedCinema705 Sure thing, you can send them to my e-mail: mimmotronics (at) gmail

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Why don’t they just make the damn thing with these features built in? Wet only option is a no brainer.

[@Heloin42]

Thats amazing, I love it! :)

[@synthsandthings1480]

Possible to mod a freeze to stereo? Probably with the help of 2 units?

[@seaserpentsdelight]

Saw you guys discontinued the fx loop mod on your site, any chance you'd be bringing it back anytime ?

[@GiveThemHorns]

I would also like to know if they'll bring it back and why they decided to discontinued it Mimmotronics, any chance of offering mod plans for sale; it would be really helpful for diy'ers and overseas folks and could be a small additional revenue stream

[@hchoe741]

Came here to ask the same thing

[@hoah]

Yup! Most useful mod for me!! Would love to know why it didn’t work/in which situations it failed

[@seaserpentsdelight]

would definitely be willing to put it in a larger enclosure to get it done if that's the issue

[@mimmotronics]

@@seaserpentsdelight Hi Elliot, Thanks for commenting! Sorry I'm getting to this so late! I have been thinking of ways to provide a rehousing option for a Freeze FX Loop Mod lately. If you would be willing to send in the Freeze for a custom rehouse, we can move forward from there. You can email me at mimmotronics(at)gmail.com.

[@robdunsford9945]

Hi - thanks for this. I love my Freeze pedal and got thinking about improvements, so it's cool to see you've already tackled some of these. One problem I have is that I'm hard-wired to hit the pedal on the beat, on the 1 if you like, and as you know that can give variable results and volume levels. I just can't seem to make myself press the pedal slightly after the beat! So my thought was I need to introduce a tiny delay (1/10th second?) between pressing the pedal and it actually sampling the instrument's sound. If my multimeter is correct, I'm seeing just under 3.3V across the two wires under the switch - and when I press the switch it drops to 0V - so I figure I need to delay the dropping of the voltage to 0V - perhaps using a 555 timer chip, or similar? Would this be the right way to go? Thanks

[@mimmotronics]

Hi Rob, Thanks for watching! You could build a (monostable?) multivibrator out of a 555 and use the switch to trigger it. You'll have to worry a bit about switch debounce. Also, that switch is connected directly to one of the pins on the main DSP chip, so be careful you don't damage the pin with static discharge or by accidentally driving it with too much current. I also wouldn't hook up the output of the 555 directly to the board. Instead, there are analog switch ICs you can purchase where you can drive it with a logic signal from the 555 to operate. The "switch terminals" on the IC would then connect to where the switch wires are currently connected. Theres also using a transistor-as-a-switch method, which may work, but id rather stick to something "passive" like the analog IC. I'm interested in getting this work myself...haha, feel free to email me. -Mimmo

@@mimmotronics Thanks so much Mimmo! I'll let you know how I get on.

[@RubenSansaRivero]

@@robdunsford9945 that will be great and a mix control to avoid 2 jacks out. any improvements on this?

[@robdunsford9945]

@@RubenSansaRivero Hey! Life got in the way and I parked this mod - but I'll be coming back to it over the holiday season. Will report back once done. I Iike your mix idea and will think on that.

[@jacobg2662]

@@robdunsford9945we need an update!!!

[@areminderofwhatweare]

Some interesting stuff going on here man. Got a question for you though - when you opened up the pedal did you happen to see/have any idea what the CON3 five-pin connector might be for? I’m wondering if there’s some kind of tweak possible involving that.

[@mimmotronics]

1 year late on this, but that 5-pin connector is for programming the DSP chip. Not much worth doing there unfortunately

[@areminderofwhatweare]

Mimmotronics Effects all well and good, there was no rush, I’m just happy to hear back at all, even if the idea I had is nothing lol

[@mimmotronics]

@@areminderofwhatweare Lol I mean, if you have the software to program it and if EHX hasn't locked the chip for writing over its code, there is a possibility of reprogramming it. Would love to see someone try that out, even if it ends up being a flop!

[@ibelieveinsound]

Pretty sick

[@natesharlette]

This is sick

[@marka7519]

Excellent! Is there anything you could do with the 3 way toggle to turn it into footswitchable, either onboard or external? I'm guessing no, thought I would ask. This would be in conjunction with the wet out and the external feeze trigger.

[@mimmotronics]

That'd be a sweet modification... It's definitely possible! It would require more information though, message me at [e-mail] if you'd like to discuss!

[@Jesslayc]

Your website says the FX loop mod is discontinued... That would be the mod i'd be most interested in using. Any way you could post (or send privately) a schematic for modding in the FX loop so i could do it my own?

[@stevebartos2761]

genius where do i send mine to?

[@mimmotronics]

Hey Steve, please check out on the website (mimmotronicscom/products/ehx-freeze) and I will reply ASAP. Thank you! -Mimmo

[@grahmbaker]

Love your work. Do you offer the soft click switch mod for any pedal or only EHX pedals?

[@mimmotronics]

Thanks! I'm able to offer the Soft-Touch switch mod for normal mechanical switching pedals. The EHX pedal Soft-Touch switch mods are actually customized, since their method of switching varies between each model. E-mail me for more info -> [e-mail]
