Fairfield Circuitry - THE CLUB

[AxisBoldAsLove]

I hope the next one will be of use and interest
to me but am looking forward to seeing what's next, regardless.

Yea i appreciate the weirdness and uniqueness of their pedals but the last three releases haven’t been as captivating as the Shallow Water, Randy’s Revenge, Four Eyes etc.

Still wanna see a low pass/envelope filter w/ optional integrated LFO waveforms from Fairfield... feel like they'd kill it

Honestly. The LPG on the Shallow Water is sorta what it could sound like, I love it.

Shallow water is the most recent one I got.
I'd like an octave down.

I’m pretty sure whatever they come out with next will be more on the conventional side of things.

Dipping my toe in the barbershop game- when browsing, I saw one stamped od1 - 950… what’s the difference? Thanks

OD# is the version of the circuit, so that one would be the 950th unit from the first version. Current version is OD3, I believe. I've owned one from OD1 and OD3, and while I never compared them directly, I did feel like they were subtly different.

Right on thanks. After a little research apparently the od1 has more drive which I’m only looking at the barbershop to be a more tame od, not too aggressive, etc. do you know if that is a thing?

my most recent Fairfield pedal purchase was the 900. i find to be very versatile in what it does, from clean to overdrive to all out fuzz.

I think you have it mistaken. Any barbershop that’s pass 999 is the millennium version. So OP has Barbershop V2 OD1950, there’s only two versions of the Barbershop from the Big box version(OD000-OD999) and V2(OD1000-OD4XXX)

Oh yeah, you might be right about the numbering, I can recall reading a similar comment elsewhere, maybe in this very thread. There are definitely 2 versions of the Millennium though- I owned 1593 and 3054, and they had very different circuit boards.

Yea The V2 past OD2600 had a different circuit board (i think). I’m still waiting for a V3 someday

maybe i'm wrong but i believe that the later V2 uses SMD J201's whereas the the V1 used thru holed ones.

Is there a difference? I know the V1 and V2 sound a bit different in sound.

maybe slightly, but IMO, there shouldn't be much difference if at all.

Been curious about the 900 fuzz, how does it rank in your book?

i like it a lot. it is capable of a ton of different tones.

here's Hondo's video of it:

Wow, I might sell my SS/BS Mini & gnab one of these

Ok so still trying to figure out a couple of things since my original question.
1. Is the V1 referring to the larger unit?
2. Are there significant changes in pedals stamped od1/2/3?
Just trying to make sure since I’m really not looking for more overdrive if one offers more than another.
Thanks guys, been a huge help.
