Textural Depth – The Fairfield Circuitry Placeholder Reverb Pedal
I am sitting in a room Distance between things Blinded by the moment Subdued by its effect In phase and out of it Space is the place
- Truly unique approach; analogue emulation of a digital reverb algorithm using bucket brigade devices. The signal path is all-analogue.
- Controls altogether allow for a surprising array of possibilities:
- large bingo halls
- bathrooms and shower stalls
- spring-like flavours
- semblance of plate reverbs
- unrealistically small rooms
- real close to flanging
Placeholder is an analogue implementation of a digital reverb algorithm using BBDs, mixers, VCAs and simple zesty filters. The topology in question is called Householder, allowing quick echo density even with only three delay-lines.
Three independent analogue delay-lines act as foundation to this particular type of feedbackdelay-network.
A householder-reflection feedback matrix creates context for quick echo density; every delay line feeds back only to every other delay line.
The excitation is looking for the longest way out. Surprisingly, this analogue implementation of a basic digital reverb algorithm sounds quite unique.
Creating space that is both familiar and unusual.
The fully variable controls offer direct control of the room, no presets. Emphasizing the analogue nature of the circuit. Making the night more interesting.
There’s a real adventure in tuning SIZE and RATIO, an adventure through nodes of flutter and diffusion.
Digital control allows all three delays to have their own unique, random and cyclical modulations rendering rooms that move ever so slightly while also improving smear.
