Fairfield Circuitry - THE CLUB

I wonder what FC has up their sleeves next? They updated their website where the first thing you're greeted by is a picture they posted years back of about 13 Breadboards. I wonder how many of these ideas became finalized.
I'm curious as well, the only clues I can remember are the video with the time-stretching knob (some sort of looper? But how can that be analog?) and the grrr post (distortion? Seems strange to put out more distortion after 900 and roger)

Idk man, JFets are kinda their signature with their pedals. I’d love to see them use subminiature tubes but that will never happen.

Still...I‘d really like something away from JFets from fairfield circuitry.

...You think they couldn‘t do it or are too complacent to give it a go?
...or simply not interested...?

or...not yet?

I asked them if they would do something with tubes and they told me they aren’t interested in making a Tube based pedal, which sucks because i think they could pull it off(like Efffectrode).

bit odd way of thinking about it. From both a brand and engineering pov you want them to be bought in on doing what they think are best way of doing the things they want to do and wholeheartedly follow that dream - there’s other pedal makers who make the other stuff

Yes.
Fairfield circuitry always put a spin on things,making their pedals more interesting to me than those from other companies who may be building pedals around the same topology.

That‘s behind my interest in seeing something different from them.
 
I like what FC does and I don't want for them to change their secret sauce recipe. With roger that I feel like they showed that they can still do innovative stuff (it is currently in my to-get list, a bit too much money to spend right now).
