DigiTech FreqOut Natural Feedback Creator Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
Get perfect feedback every time with the FreqOut. Using pitch detection, FreqOut finds the harmonic content of your signal, feeding back select frequencies.

The new DigiTech FreqOut Natural Feedback Creator allows you to get sweet, natural feedback at any volume, with or without distortion. The FreqOut automatically identifies the harmonic content of your chords or single notes and then "encourages" user-selectable harmonics to feedback. It sounds full and natural, just like a live amp at ear-splitting volume, but without the permanent hearing loss.

The FreqOut is perfect for situations where volume must be controlled like in the studio, with in ear monitors, or low-volume performance and practice. However, the FreqOut can also be used at gig volume to focus out-of-control feedback on a preferred harmonic at any stage position. The FreqOut also has adjustable onset, level, dry kill, latching or momentary operation, true bypass, and a rugged road-tough steel chassis.

The DigiTech FreqOut uses advanced pitch detection technology to identify the harmonic content of your signal and help certain frequencies to feedback. Control over the feedback harmonic, the onset speed, and level, allows you to tailor the feedback to sound completely natural and musically appro-priate. The footswitch can be set to activate feedback creation either momentarily, for quick tempo-rary feedback, or latching to turn it on and let it roar. A dry-kill switch allows you to eliminate your dry guitar or bass signal to achieve trippy synth-like tones.

You really have to play with this a while to appreciate it. If it seems like a one-trick-pony, it kind of is, but it does add some pretty cool trick. It's not meant to be "on" all the time - mostly because it wont do chords that well, and also, if you use it too much, the novelty will wear off quick. I have mine set up with the momentary switch, and a medium delay before kicking in. Then, whether adding some spice to a legato part of a solo, or when there is a pause between chord changes, I kick this in. It sounds GREAT, and nobody in the audience really gets what is going on, except you seem to have super-controllable feedback. Or extending a note (depending on the frequency-feedback setting you have it on). Etc. I used it maybe 6 or 7 times last gig, which is about enough, and I really thought it was worth the price. I run it right after my wireless and drop-pedal, and then from that into the freqout, then talkbox, wah, distortion, then to my amp and effects loop for everything else. It's a permanent addition to my pedalboard.
