Well, to me seems that at the end of the chain makes more sense. For example: you have a monophonic octaver and then the freeze: you freeze the pitch shifted sound and then you play something using the octaver also. No problem there. But if you put the freeze first then the octaver has to track the freezed part and then also track what you play on top of it, which can confuse the pedal.

i was thinking of a stereo chain where its guitar branches into 1 amp but also branches into a pog2 then a freeze so you could get organ chords while playing overtop of em

thinking of the interaction between em all, i think it should be just before a distortion

I thought that too, but I’d have to try it first…

Running a frozen loop plus direct playing through a distortion/od/fuzz may result in a messy sound.

well the thing is that i was thinking distortion comes out as buzzing and although thats what all sound is, if you take one part, it wouldnt be a good texture

It would seem logical to use the Freeze as a “looper” pedal and place it at the end of the pedal chain. I don`t know, maybe it would “confuse” the other pedals and make for a muddled sound. I am really just an old surf dog from Venice Beach and am confused by anything more technical than diatonic harmony. I have about 24 pedals which I believe in, but need serious help/advice in how to place them in regard to “real time” deployment. I mean, I`m usually too busy playing to think about pressing more than one or two foot switches in the middle of a song. People are depending on me. Help me, my brothers!

Big Muff >> Freeze >> Deluxe Memory Man gave the best tonal possibilities.
