Pardon me if this is a stupid question, but what is this effect? What does it do?

from what i gather, you hit your note/chord and hit the button which "freezes" the note like really long sustain.

its a sound retainer, sustains individual notes and chords, theres 3 modes to chose from, fast - sustains the sounds straight away and goes off when you step off it, slow - same as fast but fades in and out, and latch - you dont have to keep your foot on it and can change the sustained sound by pressin again

Sounds good! Don't think the original is the sound of a Big Muff though.

rob_thebassman · #8 12-13-2010, 12:16 PM

it is man, back then big muffs were different

bigchiefbc · #9 12-13-2010, 12:43 PM

Yeah, throw a muff and a leslie simulator/phaser on there, and it would sound awesome.

rob_thebassman · #10 12-13-2010, 01:10 PM

sounds good with a tremelo, ive got a line 6 pod studio gx to do that

i like it! i usually use it for just having a droning background sound with the latch mode. maybe i'll try it out like this.

Valerus · #13 12-13-2010, 03:13 PM

Correct. It's a distorted organ.
