Fairfield Circuitry - THE CLUB

#681
Hello Fairfield Circuitry club!

I am an owner and a big fan of the Unpleasant Surprise.
I have a Meet Maude in the mail. I've dabbled in delay a bit, but haven't ever really fallen in love with it. The Meet Maude sounds so great in videos and seems to be useful for more than your average delay. When I picked it up I didn't even realize it had expression/cv and effects loop options. So, Maude users, got any suggestions, tips and/or tricks for the Maude?

I often use mine to give some ambience when playing with just one other instrument and i am playing chords. Maude gives me exactly what I want for these situations. But it is useful for many other situations as well.
A fantastic pedal.
Unpleasant surprise may be my favourite pedal, period.

I’ve been slacking on getting a TRS cable, but I really want to plug the Unpleasant Surprise into the effects loop. I’d imagine it’ll sound pretty awesome with it effecting only the repeats.

I already posted this in the sub nano thread but i think this might be appropriate here also.

To all the Randy's owners out there: how much background hiss does your's have? With the LPF totally open and the mix 100% wet, do you find there is a lot of hiss compared to when the pedal is bypassed. I've owned multiple of these, and I swear that my first one was not quite as noisy as my current. In a live setting, I'd never notice, but with headphones at home in the studio it is very apparent.

Is the club still giving numbers?

I picked up a Barbershop and an Accountant recently. I absolutely love the Barbershop! It's an always-on for me to add a little grit and tone. I'm using the Accountant for a couple of songs I play pickstyle. I'm considering a second Barbershop for switching to a more aggressive tone for some songs, on the fly.

Just try the Accountant before the Barbershop. Crank the volume and use it as a boost for the Barbershop.

Is there some Randy's revenge owner that doesn't mind telling me the exact dimensions of the pedal? Possibly in centimeters? Thanks.
I'd also like to get some comments about the pedal. The main reason why I'm thinking about getting one is the whacky stuff you can do with it, especially after an OC-2 and a fuzz. I've always been a fan of bit crushers for the same application, but ring modulators seem more versatile and definitely able to emulate sample rate reduction.

I always feel 'instant stingray' when playing around with the accountant.:)

Thanks. You did the measurement?
Thoman says "Dimensions: 98 x 118 x 52 mm".

I did. It may be 118 but 98 it isn't. If you measure on the top( where the pots are) it may well be 89mm as it is a tiny bit narower on that side than it is on the bottom side.
For hight( between bottom plate and side where the pots are),I'd say 34mm.
No Idea where they get the 52 from...?
