Fairfield Circuitry - THE CLUB

#1,004
I've got a Meatball clone envelope filter that just plain sounds better with some dirt. Normally I engage an overdrive upstream of it, but my current OD just doesnt work with the thing the way I want. The Meatball has an effects loop, though, where I'm currently running a You're Doom fuzz, and I thought, maybe that's a perfect spot for a Modele B, just to have, in effect, a built in drive circuit for the Meatball.

Anyone with any experience with something like this, or even just a Barbershop feeding a filter?

I have now watched a few videos , demoing roger that.
T
he more videos I watch, the more I feel , it might come in handy and useful.

But...are there any good bass-centric ones ?

The only one I've seen is from demos in the dark. I'm considering buying it as well, it's such an interesting effect plus I want to see how it behaves with the Hors d'Oeuvre

I don't have the one with the french name.
I do have an operator though, which should also be interesting.

Apart from that I am starting to feel that between roger and 9oo ish, riger may be the more interesting pedal, even from just a fuzz standpoint - being a 4 eyes user.

Yeah I don't know if 900 adds much if you already have the 4 eyes. I'm a bit on the fences for roger that because I'm not sure how many useable tones I could get that my unpleasant surprise (+ a ring mod that I'm going to get at some point) doesn't

Good point!
Unpleasant surprise is my favourite pedal . I might try it with Randy's revenge and see if I still feel nterested in roger that. :)

Why so many of each. Is there anything different between each(each shallow water and each barbershop V1) , besides varying serial numbers and led colours(in teh case of Barbershop V1?

The internal clocks and LPG settings are usually different on the SW so some are real subtle in the modulation while others are really present. The Barbershops are more noticeable in differences, the SAG being the one component that sets them apart from each other. I've had some that had more volume/Gain than another B'shop.

Yes, I know there are subtle diferences, although with the shallow water...might that be due to the setting of the internal trimpot, maybe?
Those are why you (seem to) buy so many multiples?
Interesting
Do you also use them in different ways?

Yea I was told not to mess with the clock but I'm free to mess with the LPG trimpot, I'm most likely going to sell the extras down the line. I use some (On guitar) as an always on modulation, a kind of low pass filter-ish sound and a really detuned warbly sound.

Question to those that have both 900ish and roger that and know the other FC drive pedals;

I have Barbershop, Four eyes and Unpleasant surprise; in my situation...would you rather get 900 ish or Roger that...to fill in gaps...make noise I can't make yet with what I have?

what dirt are you running it in to?

Unpleasant surprise and about 900, all in the loop of a hors d'hoeuvre. US as a fuzz and 900 more like a fuzzy od/dist. With US the randy is crazy, makes a lot of strange but beautiful noises. Tremolo is interesting as well. With 900 it makes more usable sounds (since it's less gain). I like it with either of them for different purposes.
