Chorus and Vibrato
Shallow Water
The Shallow Water by Fairfield Circuitry is a K-Field Modulator that generates a non-cyclical vibrato/chorus/flanger-type effect by randomly modulating a short time delay to create unexpected shifts in pitch. The pedal is designed to favor old tape flavors and is based on the mathematical concept of Simulation mathematics, specifically the undefined, two-dimensional, non- linear field where past and future forces interact at irregular intervals. The pedal features Rate, LPG, Damp, Mix, Depth, and Volume control knobs, and is designed to be input sensitive, with the volume, type of signal, playing, and dynamics affecting its reaction. The pedal has 1/4” mono input/output jacks, a 2.1mm DC connector, and comes in a 4.7” x 3.8” enclosure. It is manufactured in Hull, Québec. The price of the Shallow Water is $389 CAD.

EQ
Long Life
The Long Life by Fairfield Circuitry is a state-variable filter with a wide range and versatile application. It combines tilt and notch/boost equalization around a 2nd-order (-12dB/octave) state-variable core. This pedal serves as a one-band parametric equalizer with additional features including a shelving filter from low-pass to high-pass, CV inputs for resonance (Q) and frequency (F), V/octave scaling synthesizer interface, fully variable Q that can lead to self-oscillations, soft clip zener zesty mordant, and expression pedal input to control center frequency. The Long Life offers a flexible tone stack for careful tuning of the desired response and can be stacked before or after other pedals for dramatic emphasis or de-emphasis. It can also be used with an expression pedal for wah-type effects, as a standalone channel strip EQ for outboard processing, or integrated with a modular synthesizer mindset to act as a VCF and a VCO. Additionally, it can be used with external CV control such as sequencers and keyboards. The pedal is designed to be unique and robust, and it is made in Hull, Québec.

Fuzz
Four Eyes
The Fairfield Circuitry Four Eyes is a crossover fuzz pedal featuring three parallel JFET fuzz circuits driven by a voltage-controlled state variable filter. It offers a wide operating range of the frequency control, allowing for extreme to relatively subtle fuzz tones, from super thin to ridiculously fat. The pedal includes a resonance control switch, mu-amp input stage, and three drive pots for versatile fuzz manipulation. The four highly interactive controls are INPUT (input gain), FUZZ (second stage gain), BIAS (second stage bias and gain), and VOLUME (output level). The pedal is housed in a durable metal casing and is designed to offer a unique and robust fuzz experience. The Fairfield Circuitry Four Eyes is made in Hull, Québec.

~900 About Nine Hundred Fuzz
The ~900 About Nine Hundred Fuzz by Fairfield Circuitry is a ferocious fuzz pedal featuring two cascading JFET gain stages. It is a spiritual successor to the discontinued Four Eyes Fuzz, offering a wide range of gain and adding delicious harmonics. The pedal has four highly interactive controls: 1\. INPUT: Controls the input gain 2\. FUZZ: Adjusts the second stage gain 3\. BIAS: Adjusts the second stage bias and gain 4\. VOLUME: Controls the output level The INPUT section is a 'mu-amp' design, allowing for a clean sound with lots of headroom or completely slammed and distorted tones. The FUZZ knob is dependent on the level of the INPUT, while the BIAS knob adjusts the bias of the second gain stage, offering control over saturation symmetry and gating. The pedal is versatile, stacks well with other pedals, and is friendly to various instruments and signal levels. It can deliver a thick wall of distortion/fuzz at higher INPUT levels. Specifications: \- Fuzz pedal based on the Four Eyes Fuzz \- Two cascading JFET gain stages \- Four knobs: Input, Fuzz, Bias, Volume \- Compact design \- Made in Hull, Québec Price: \- $259 CAD
