Hello
Just wondering how you lot are finding the Freqout pedal?I was writing a song today and really wanted some natural feedback for a lead part and just couldn't produce it at such low volume.
Any opinions welcome.

It's such a great pedal!
Look here:

oh excellent I'll take a look now.
Is it the it does not have a battery compartment?
Thank you
Here you can hear how it acts. The intro is done with the pedal. Recorded at bedroom level today.
BM Profiles from sessionplayer Bert Meulendijk BE100 OUT NOW
oh guys some great playing there, right up my tree.
How do you find it in the loop of the Kemper as I am hoping to mount this in my rack mount case and trigger from the pedal board.......
Once I know it works in the loop it's getting purchased.
Excited

I put it in the Kemper's loop, placed in slot A, and trigger it from the Remote.
ingolf thank you that's all I needed to know. Just looking for a small appropriate psu with the right amps then I'm ordering,
Thank you mate
I dont use the automode. I have it in front of the kpa. My chain is guitar, freqout, Paul Gilbert Airplanefkanger, kpa.
Well it will be in front of the Kemper when recording them in the loop when gigging.
With the Kempers DI Out was not shared.
Mike
I love the Freqout Pedal. I used to use the Boss FB but the Freqout convincing much more.
The freqout pedal is awesome !! I use it in front of the KPA, momentary mode. Just great
Well I have just ordered mine so picking it up on Thursday.... And I'm off work, absolute bonus.
Mike
Well just picked the pedal up, can't wait to try it out.
Just need some settings to try out so watching a few YouTube videos.
Can't wait
Hi all
Well I plugged the FreqOut in and had a little play.
The good:
Sounds really good and I played over a song I am writing and it made my solos sound that little bit more edgy and does sound like you are recording from a loud amp.
The bad or at least what I have yet to understand:
When playing there are little artifacts when it is tracking. This is a little frustrating as most of my lead is written and recorded on the spot and to record an artifact will mean more retakes.
The other reason I wanted the pedal was I sing so I was hoping for long potentially endless sustain to play whilst I sing on certain tracks. The FreqOut cuts the signal off but not in a nice way, it's like a noise gate is cutting the sound off rather than a nice trail. Now this may be the Kemper noise gate so I may need to experiment more but are you also finding this issue. Even with loads of vibrato it still cuts out so I am wondering if it's the Kemper, the FreqOut or my technique.
All in all if the gating issue can go this is one lovely sounding pedal but if the gate can't be solved it will be going back.
I pray I am missing something.
Cheers all

The pedal wont give you endless sustain. I was also dissapointed for the first two days. After many experience i found my perfect setting and i know the „gatepoint“. This point depends on the used rig and your technique. The vibrato must be very accurate. I use it with fingervibrato or cibrato from my floyd roses and i ! don‘t use it in auto mode. I put my feet on and got a feel how long the sustain is.
Summary:
A question how to use
Practice
and expect not endless sustain
It‘s def a cool pedal for me and i wont miss it.
If you like hear a soundsample on my soundcloud. Search for eltzejupp and the track is named „noodlin in a lydian friedman mode“.
It‘s an example using Bert Meulendijks friedman profile. The intro is played with the freqout. One take.
Hey man
Totally agree that it's not an endless sustain. A compressor before would be great but as I'm reamping I can't put the pedal in a slot and assign it after the compressor.
I have just had another play and I do love the pedal, my lead sounds so cool and using it with the organ style patches on a clean channel give you some fantastic Pink Floyd style atmospheric sounds, I've just spend half an hour on that lol.
I will keep the pedal as it sounds great just a shame about the sustain, actually not the sustain but the abrupt cut off, but it does sound great.
Cheers dude

Guys
Well I have to say I do love this pedal. I had to revert to my old reamp box in order to lint it in the case but it works and that's all I care about.
The abrupt ending is very frustrating at times making recording awkward but in the loop with a compressor in front with low intensity the set the loop mix to around 80 to 100% and it does sound fantastic.
I could not recommend this enough for lead playing or soloing as it really brings out the distortion but for held passages I would say don't buy as it is just to random.
I do love the hold a note, let the feedback kick in then slide to another note, give a kind of strange pitched effect I like.
Cheers for you help
Mike

Where did you set the compressor snd where the loop? Which comp settings do you use?
Bought one of these and should get it tomorrow. A couple of question for you guys using with a KPA.
Excited to see if this can add a bit of missing lively dynamic to our live guitar sound as we all use in ears with no stage cabs or wedge monitoring - so any lively harmonic amp to guitar interaction is impossible and can make it all sound a bit stale when you're really rockin'!
thanks!
had a few days now with the Freqout and to answer my own questions above..
- does it power back up in its last state? Sadly no. It boots up in the "effect bypassed" state.
- can it be set "always on" and sound natural when changing profies from clean to gain? -Nope, but tbh I kinda expected this to be the case. The work around is to simply to have it in the kpa loop and only have the loop on for the profiles where it suits (mostly gainier leads in my case).
So not perfect for me, but still a seriously cool effect and it now lives in the Kemper loop in the rack. Had a 3+ year run of running just Kemper and Remote for my live rig (no other pedals at all), but I think the Freqout succeeds in generating pretty convincing response and raw coolness to the silent stage IEM gigs and headphone practice sessions.
Really hoping something like this makes an appearance as an onboard KPA effect one day!
