    Fairfield’s stuff is amazing. Their Meet Maude analog delay has a similar random modulation that allows varying levels of instability. Haven’t tried any of their pedals I haven’t absolutely loved.

    • @fredericmailloux6167

      Not only similar: shallow water is an expansion of the modulation in the Meet Maude.

      Facts. I use 2 shallow water and 2 meet maude as stereo pair. Wonderful pedals. Meet maude sadly does not have a dip switch for line level so she gets quite noisy

    This is practically an always-on pedal for me. FFC uses FETs in most of their pedals, so yes, it can be pushed for excellent drive-like tones. As for stereo, I run mine into a Boss DD-7 delay for either super-short, almost nothing stereo delays, to some serious ping-pong sounds. I’ve had mind for a year, and I can’t stop using it either-it’s a keeper for sure. And so, thanks for this great video.

    When you brought the point up about relinquishing control over modulation to the Shallow Water, that kinda blew my mind. That's been my process for years. I buy pedals or gear that add character and makes it more simple for me to write the music i want to create. I've beaten myself up for this process because I felt like a bit of a fraud for not programming in modulation myself. Thanks for putting things in to perspective for me my dude!

I've had the Shallow Water for a while now, using it with synths and guitars, and until now I had only run it into a delay. For some reason, I had never considered running a delay into it. This is brilliant, I tried it out this evening and was blown away. Cheers!

      For stereo, you're supposed to use this on one side and Warped Vinyl Mk2 (not the newer Hifi version) on the other side. There are other valid substitutions. Then you re-stereo-ize both of THOSE outputs, using 2 mono to stereo chorus/delay/reverb/etc pedals. And then recombine them in a mixer or DAW back to a single stereo track.

    • @PostmodernMachine
      @PostmodernMachine 2 года назад +1

      @@judahdadone9410 this is correct. I have this pedal and if the low-pass gate is fully open it has noise. Gain staging will not change it. It has a wonderful sound that is worth the noise. Generally I find I leave the low pass gate partially closed and then just make my source material brighter which should reduce the noise in the end

    Ricky, that radio sound is coming from the bucket brigade chip, I believe. There is an internal trim pot to adjust the set point for the low pass gate, if my memory serves, which would give u some control over how much of the higher frequencies in the bucket brigade are coming thru. Bucket brigades are always noisy in the mid/high frequencies but I believe most BBD circuits filter out that noise, which is why analog delays are so dark

    Fairfield rules! Love this box, happy you’re trying it out.
    If you really want stereo, you could always buy another…or if you don’t, and you’ve got tracks recorded already, doing a send with the Left then the Right works. Way fussier, and only good in the studio but the results can be worth it.
    Also, worth mentioning, the boost/grittiness of it can be turned off via an internal switch. It sounds really good but if you want to do your crunch somewhere else, can be a good feature.

      @@digitallucbeats if you’re referring to turning off the Jfet, check the manual.
      If you’re referring getting stereo, you’d setup an fx send situation with your interface, send your right channel to the box, and record the output in real time. Then repeat with the left channel.
      I would not call it practical for most things but can sound great on a finished recording that you’re trying to sweeten.

    In the software world, I like SketchCassette and Denise Bad Tape for some texture that's in this ballpark. The overdrive does sound really nice on drum machine. Reminds me of those extremely overdriven crunchy house tracks I love, like Baltra's "Summer of '98" I think it reminds me of the overdrive on the Moog CP3 style input mixer on my Manhattan Analog Discrete SVVCF module (and their CP3 mixer module, and the Detroit Modular DiY one). Divkid puts some 808 style drum machine channels into the Manhattan CP3 about 5 mins into his video. Maybe more compression, more bass boost, less gnarly upper mid overtones than the shallow water. But I often use the SVVF CP3 drive hard at end of end of a wavetable oscillator chain (e352 cloud terrarium) to fill out the bass.
