Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water (Lo-Fi Chorus Vibrato)

[@andrewmcnicholas4888]

Man I need to start playing stuff like this.

[@bootlegnjack]

I own one and never fully understood the lpg finally I now get it

[@DoNoise]

Glad to be able to help!

[@jimtroeltsch5998]

This is one of the most beautiful pedals ever. Full stop.

[@strummer1066]

I'm not normally one for chorus but this thing is pretty awesome

[@danvankouwenberg7234]

I think this is the best demo of this pedal.

[@JordanKruegerJTK]

Your demos are awesome because they strike a good balance of showing what each knob does, but also showing good applications (certain configurations, instruments passed through).

[@jesselough]

This thing sounds so elegant.

[@markm668]

I have always been proud of how shallow in am, I like this!

[@bradruhfel4883]

I keep seeing that FC might be coming out with a new pedal next month. I hope so!

[@TheSalinski]

Excellent video and demo. One suggestion; you tend to leave the LPG knob fully clockwise or you occasionally sweep it left but will return to full right. Try leaving this knob somewhere between 10:00 and 3:00 and listen to how the filtering responds to playing dynamics. Yes, a very cool pedal!

[@hoover728]

It’s at 2 o’clock or further ccw for most of the video.

[@rars0n]

My immediate reaction to the first 30 seconds is "this reminds me of my Mid-Fi Pitch Pirate." I'm not sure if you're familiar with that pedal or not, but man do I wish there were more Mid-Fi pedals.

[@rars0n]

To be clear, the Pitch Pirate often gets wildly out of tune, and doesn't necessarily have the lo-fi effect that this pedal has. This thing is like a much more refined version of it. I like it a lot!

[@DoNoise]

Yeah, I don’t have experience with it but I know about Pitch Pirate. Mid-Fi makes interesting stuff.

[@rars0n]

@@DoNoise I was under the understanding that they are no longer around. At least when I look for their stuff now, the only thing I can find is used sales on ebay. I think I bought my Pitch Pirate from them when they were still selling on ebay, but I can't recall. Regardless, I love their stuff. However, this is really an awesome pedal! And I love the fact that it's a bit in the same style. I would like to get my hands on one.

[@DoNoise]

They look pretty active on Instagram but might only be putting out small batches for those who order direct.

[@masmachina803]

Midfi is still very active. I just bought a Scrape Flutter pedal from him and it’s awesome. Reach out to Doug on Insta, he’s very responsive.

[@PadraicPlaugher]

I want one! Great job btw

[@a.r.noureldin4837]

I just got the shallow water and the teisco fuzz as my first two pedals. Looking for delay and reverb recommendations

[@DoNoise]

Nice choices! Lately I’ve been really enjoying Eventide Rose, Dr Scientist The Atmosphere and Mooer A7. I’d recommend these if you don’t need stereo. Keeley Eccos and Source Audio Nemesis&Ventris are great stereo options.

[@a.r.noureldin4837]

@@DoNoise if you had to pick one delay and one reverb what would you go for?

[@DoNoise]

I like having options so if I had to choose just one of each I’d go for Source Audio Nemesis and Ventris.

[@a.r.noureldin4837]

@@DoNoise those are cool but I work in mono only 😅 think I'll go for the Dr Scientist The Atmosphere and the Eventide Rose 👍

[@DoNoise]

Those would work good in mono as well but Rose and Atmosphere are solid options, too

[@Thallishman]

this is the only pedal so far that does an convincing flutter-effect. Im curious how this would stack with Walrus Audio Julianna, where Julianna would be in vibrato mode with low LFO-speed and some nice drift to get the wow/wobble-thing going aswell

[@sjkdhgalgci]

Strymon Deco with an expression pedal for controlling wobble is also cool because you can control the wobble "placement" and play it on strategic notes.

[@Thallishman]

@@sjkdhgalgci AH yes the Strymon Deco , i love that wobble in there aswell. would love to hear your idea in sounds :)

[@Da_Publick]

First of all, thanks for no glistening streams, or high flying clouds. 😂 This pedal sounds like someone took the modulation part of a Memory Man type Delay, and made it into a stand-alone effect.

[@Da_Publick]

Oh, which is a good thing!

[@versnellingspookie]

Yo what synth are you using?

[@DoNoise]

It’s a synth from GarageBand (iOS).

[@stagnatic]

Nice. I’ve always preferred the shallow end.
