Fairfield Circuitry - THE CLUB

A reverb would be interesting but I hope it isn't Belton based if that means it will have pre-delay that can't be dialed out. I love how the Caroline Meteore sounds but the pre-delay makes it a little hard to use in a lot of situations. Maybe that isn't a limitation of using the brick for a reverb but that was my impression from hearing Caroline talk about it.

I hope it doesn’t too. There was a comment left by FC on IG talking with another builder about something with spring tanks. I have no clue what it was about or if it’s reverb related though.

It definitely is.

The Belton Brick (which was designed by Brian Neunaber) actually uses three 3 PT2399 delay chips and has three short (and fixed) delay times to do the job of simulating spring reverb.

You can do all sorts of pre and post filtering and tone shaping, but the reverb itself is what it is, pre-delay and all.

I actually like Belton Brick reverbs for certain things, but Fairfield doesn't strike me as the kind of builder to do "their take" on that type of reverb. I'd be just as surprised to see a Tubescreamer variant from them. They tend to do their own, very esoteric and cool stuff.

Yea I don’t see them doing a Belton Brick Verb. I could see them using one of these:

The Spaceman Orion uses it and sounds amazing.
