Electro-Harmonix came out with a really cool little effect called the Freeze. Check it out

http://www.ehx.com/products/freeze

It has a momentary foot switch that freezes whatever sound is happening at that moment. While you hold the foot switch down, you can play over the sound you froze. Very cool.

I've wanted to do that with piano while changing sounds, or even with a bass solo so that one part gracefully slides into the next. This actually is something I would consider purchasing. Are you getting one for review?

I am going to try. I emailed them and haven't heard back yet. It seems as though it will be a very useful effect.

That's killer! In essence your guitar can lay a bed much like a keys pad may do and then play over it! I like the idea but I'll be interested to see how it actually will incorporate into your set up while being useful in a live or recording situation.

This one may actually come in quite handy in a live situation. It will take some practice at home since it is a momentary switch. You cant get too crazy or too far away from the pedal while you are using it. What I thought was neat is that the latch mode gives 100% feedback. It is retains the same level you decide to freeze and stays at that level until you release it.
