What Do Fairfield Circuitry Say?

"What we have here is a failure to communicate"

Inspired by Roger Grant's idea to mimic loss of fm radio signal through the use of a simplified fm modulator/demodulator scheme.

As a young child, I would hide under the table when Roger came around. Later, when I first started in electronics, he gave me a bunch of parts, tools and bench equipment.
Controls interfere with demodulation accuracy resulting in familiar yet unexpected signal degradation and noise.

While it is true that RF is especially effective at professional noise making, it remains relatively safe for amateur producers.

Controls interfere with demodulation accuracy resulting in familiar yet unexpected signal degradation and noise.

Controls

TUNE

Like turning the dial on your receiver, the TUNE parameter sweeps through a wide variety of sounds. From subtle artifacts, to extreme textures, noise and distortion. Summmed with CV at T input.

SHIFT

Shifts the accuracy of tracking the incoming modulated signal. Sometimes acts as a filter. Highly dependent on TUNE.

DRIVE

Controls the input level, from clean to dirty. Pushing the DRIVE control generates extreme non-linearities from the modulator/demodulator circuit. Affects both the wet and dry signals.

WET

Amount of wet signal at the output.

DRY

Amount of dry signal at the output.

R

Preset range of the TUNE parameter:
1 - normal
2 - extended

F

Apply voice filter ~(300Hz-3kHz) to wet signal:
0 - filter off
1 - filter on

Right. Well. What to say about this absolutely bonkers pedal?

Fairfield Circuitry do things their own way. From the plain utilitarian form, through to the interesting and innovative circuits they build, they don’t follow the crowd. And this is possibly their most unique pedal of all.

The Roger That uses FM demodulators - usually found in FM radios - to demodulate and recombine your guitar (or bass, or synth or whatever) signal in weird and wonderful ways. Apparently. I don’t really understand the technical aspects.

What I do understand is that it does things to my guitar that no pedal has ever done before, and it makes me feel like a mad scientist trying to control the lightning to bring a new creation to life.

Can it do pretty standard drive and fuzz sounds? Yes, sure. But is that why you’d buy this pedal? No. You buy this pedal because you want your guitar to contact alien life, or make you see through time. This is not a ‘set and forget’ pedal. This is an interactive sonic experience that genuinely sounds like nothing else I’ve ever played. It will coo and then scream. It will make you giggle like a child. It is Joe Bonamassa’s worst enemy, and I love it.

Love the review! Thanks so much for the purchase and the brilliant comments. Glad you're enjoying the pedal, it's so good! Cheers, Paul.
