Fairfield Circuitry Meet Maude
Fairfield Circuitry · pedal
The Fairfield Circuitry Meet Maude is a dark, characterful analog delay with random delay-time modulation and full CV control of both delay time and feedback. The Time control spans approximately 50ms to 500ms. A random modulation circuit introduces irregular pitch-wavering to the repeats — described as simulating the imperfection of a reel-to-reel motor running not quite at constant speed. CV inputs for Time and Feedback allow external control via expression pedal or modular synthesizer.
