The FreezeZone pedal keeps the transistors at a lower temperature regardless of the ambient temperature. The FreezeZone only uses vintage-style Germanium transistors in its pedals to achieve its audio characteristics. .
Put your fuzz pedal in the freezer with FreezeZone’s thermodynamic fuzz pedal!
The FreezeZone pedal is a temperature-controlled fuzz pedal that produces the warm sounds of the '60s and '70s, with a built-in refrigeration unit to keep its germanium transistors cool.
Germanium transistors sound better in fuzz pedals because they have a warmer, smoother, and more organic distortion. Read more.
When a Germanium fuzz pedal heats up, it will get a spitty or gated sound and have less sustain. To see why check out Seeing is Believing.
Germanium transistors are more susceptible to temperature changes than their silicon counterparts. Read more.
Ultimately, the "ideal" temperature for a germanium fuzz pedal is subjective and depends on individual preferences and the desired sound. Experimenting with different temperature settings and bias adjustments to unlock the full tonal potential of a fuzz pedal. The FreezeZone Pedal, with its built-in thermostat, lets you do that.
Because the FreezeZone Pedal is quiet, it delivers high-quality recordings. Read more.
For the best vintage-style fuzz sound, the FreezeZone only uses germanium transistors.
FreezeZone pedals are tested and assembled by hand here in the USA
