Official effect
Held ambient wash built from one long damped comb loop rather than the shared diffuse reverb core.
The current `Freeze Reverb` implementation does not use the shared diffuse reverb core for its wet path. Instead, it builds the effect from one long damped comb loop with relatively high feedback and a post-loop high shelf. `space` sets the loop length, `decay` raises the loop feedback, and `tone` brightens the frozen texture.
Static peaks come from the compiled FAUST preview render. The live scope is drawn from the browser playback output in real time.

Signal Path
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with a 19-sample right-channel delay and slight left/right shelf-EQ offsets before it hits the reverb core.

Long damped comb loop with post-loop high-shelf shaping.
The static waveform and the live player both reflect this compiled signal chain.
These are the currently active controls detected in the FAUST source for this effect.
The generated description is tied to the active helper blocks and routing found in the current DSP.
Controls
Blends between the dry source and the wet reverb field after the reverb core.
Lower settings stay more direct; higher settings move the patch further into the ambient tail.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the actual reverb structure.
Sets the delay length of the long comb loop used for the frozen reverb texture.
Moves the frozen ambience from a tighter resonance toward a longer suspended wash.
Raises the feedback coefficient of the long comb loop.
Makes the frozen tail sustain longer and feel closer to a held ambience.
Raises the damping cutoff inside the loop and brightens the post-loop high shelf.
Makes the frozen texture darker at low settings and brighter at high settings.
Analysis
Current implementation uses a single long comb loop for the wet path rather than freezing the shared diffuse reverb core.
No current warnings are attached to this effect.
