- Guitar demo of the captivating and nostalgia-filled Shallow Water K-Field Modulator by Fairfield Circuitry.
Learn more about the pedal here: fairfieldcircu...
So what is the Fairfield Shallow Water? In techy terms it’s a k-field modulator, a unique modulation device, which takes your classic analog chorus/flanger/vibrato affair and fuses it with randomised pitch fluctuations and a low-pass filter gate. In Stefan terminology it’s a portal to the past that sees your tone sway, dance and quiver as if played through a dusty old tape recorder.
If you need clean, pristine and predictable modulation, then this pedal isn’t for you. But if you’re like me and prefer pedals that practically take on a life of their own and impart your melodies with bucket loads of nostalgia, then you absolutely need to dip your tone in the Shallow Water right now.

The depth it adds and how it creates cohesion between even slightly jarring sounds is magic.
Yup. It is a truly special pedal
Bought this and chroma console at the same time. When practicing alone, the chroma console nailed the lofi sound better, but as soon as I played live acoustic or electric with band, the shallow water always felt better, and cut through the mix. Even as a simple drive on acoustic. Phenomenal pedal, the way the knobs interact is beautiful genius.
Incredible demo!
Knobs set me up, and you dunked me. I need this pedal.
Honored, man! It was Knobs that sold me on the Shallow Water, and I haven’t regretted it for one second. Totally lives up to the hype and it’s by far my favorite modulation pedal. This thing is just alive ❤️🌊🐳❤️ Thanks for watching and commenting. Means the world to me 🙏
Ditto this. Anything you send through this pedal.....amazing. The shallow water reinvigorated every piece of gear I own. From guitars to sequencers to mics to kazoos. I basically sleep with this pedal next to me. What Stefan calls a learning curve I would call a journey to enlightenment. I can’t turn this pedal off. Ever.
Yup same
This is still my all-time favorite demo of any pedal ever. Seriously. I come back from time to time just to listen to it even though I have owned the pedal for some time now.
Stefan, when are you gonna drop an album?!
Oh boy! Thank you SO MUCH! I'm incredibly humbled by your kindness
I agree man! I have had this pedal for a year now and LOVE it, but this demo is so comfortable and relaxing to revisit. It even makes comments more friendly haha!
@Bill Frank ; The day I saw this demo and heard how Stefan used it was the day I knew I had to have it. I'm not a wealthy guy and I had to prioritize some other pieces of gear first, so I had to save everything I could and wait for 1,5 years before I got it. I wanted it so badly! And it didn't disappoint me. Man, do I love this sound.
I was working on a new set of songs for a new band I was forming and this is the sound I was looking for. I still watch this demo every now and then (just did it again), because Stefan's song in the end inspired me and it keeps inspiring me!
If I ever get the question what inspired me to write the music I write and to sound the way I sound, I would have to answer that I found my sound in the combination of Maarten van Roozendaal (don't bother, it's Dutch - his lyrics are wonderful) and Stefan from The Pedal Zone. And I wouldn't be lying! 😁
♥️ this. And can we all conclude Stereo might be a little overrated too? I love a good modulated electric mono guitar sound!
@@thepedalzone yass make an album with this kind of stuff!! I’d buy in a heartbeat and jam it everyday!!
Wow that intro is going to be stuck in my head forever. Love it.
Thank you! Really kind of you
Just realized it not just the tones and your pedals but your beautiful chord voicings that's making this video so special.
Best pedal I heard since ages. And you made me drawn into it. A lot of times, when crazy pedals like this get on the market, the guys that need to review these things don't have a clue what to do with it, but you made it work in a way that was amazingly beautiful and actually quiet emotional.
I've been excited, hearing new pedals, but I never felt like this. This is like a new world opening up for me. I'm 51 years old now, I thought I've been in every world. The way you demoed the pedal couldn't be better. Thanks for that! I'm gonna subscribe. You leave me no choice (and this is the first demo I've seen you doing). Keep up the good work!
This demo was the first demo I saw you doing, Stefan. I fell in love with the pedal instantly and I subscribed to your channel immediately. I knew right away that this pedal would change my way of thinking about music. I've written so many pieces of music in my live. Songs flooded like a wild river of fantasies and I thought it would never stop. But it did. I got into a writers block for way too many years actually. I never really understood what happened.
However, this video of you playing this pedal so beautifully, was atleast 50% of what I needed to get myself going again. The other 50% came out of playing some old songs I wrote, but without a band and with a guitar that I down tuned a minor third. For practical reasons. I just wanted to sing my songs again and my voice dropped. It sounded great and for some reason I just made the connection of playing my down tuned songs through this pedal and some spacy reverb.
And now that old wild river of fantasies is flooding like in my best days. And the Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water will be the foundation of my new sound.
I received mine yesterday. It took a long time, but it's mine now. And within three weeks I'll receive the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star, another pedal that you got me excited for. I can't wait to be able to combine them!
I'm not over-exaggerating when I say that you gave a miserable old musician some fresh blood. I feel excited again. And I need to thank you for it, because I truely believe that without you doing this demo, I'd still be struggling to regain my inspiration. Composing has been the most important thing in my life since I was 5 years old (not kidding). I lost it. Therefore I lost my main purpose of living. But you gave it back to me. And off course there was no way you could have done this on purpose. It's just a silly coincidence. But it was the most important coincidence that could ever happen.
So I thank you for that. I will always be indebted to you.
Love, Mario ❤️
This is the deepest review I've ever watched. I actually felt an emotional impact watching this video. The jam at the end gave me chills, but then you talking over it about memories of the past was insane. I felt like I was watching an indie movie about growing up or something. Wow. Definitely want to buy one now!!
This is my favorite gear review on RUclips, it's what originally sold me on this pedal. It absolutely comes alive with a little dirt afterwards, just beautiful sounds. Thank you for all the great work you do! I would love to hear some of your original work sometime!
Amazing demo!!!!!!!! Had all of these plans to buy other stuff this year. Stumbled upon this pedal and jumped on it. My first of the new year. Got it and originally thought, this thing is worthless. Then I spent a weekend with it and found that it did things no other chorus pedal would do. One trick I did after watching one of your other videos that recommended putting a reverb wash in front of chorus was to double up on chorus pedals. One before the reverb and the shallow water after. Things got just absolutely crazy!
Double up on chorus!! I like the way you think, my friend. Will definitely give that a go ☺ Happy you liked the demo, man. Happy to hear that an owner of the pedal feels I did it justice. Thanks!
I always love watching your videos. The pedal demos are fun, but the main reason I watch is because your music is always breathtaking. You always know how to take even the strangest pedals and turn them into something beautiful.
Awwww, man! Your kindness is off the charts, dude. Thank you so much. I'm just happy and honored to hear that you dig the demos. Thanks for watching and thanks for being awesome ❤
OOOOOOHHHH MY GOOOOOOOOODNESSSSSSS! This is the modulation pedal I've been looking for forever! Zvex Lof-Fi junky was the closest thing I found to matching what was in my head but it was never quite right. THIS Shallow Water pedal is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Your demo was absolutely amazing dude. I just subbed. Fantastic job!
4:39 this is real shit, man. Holy Lord.
You need to make a demo of the Dispatch Master, could be "useless" at this point but how you use it on the signal chains is always amazing, like a wild card to use it in a specific spot! Every pedal before or in front of it sounds always good
Thank you so much, man! Yeah, I probably should get around to doing a demo of the Dispatch Master or do some kind of homage to it. It is my favorite pedal of all time after all. Not a bad sound in it, and just sounds spectacular with everything you throw at it ☺ Thanks for watching, and thanks for the kindness. Always means a lot to me ❤
Oh man, this is so good. I need one! The synth stuff sounds incredible through this. Awesome demo!
Thank you so very much, man! And yes, this pedal absolutely loves synth pads 😊
This channel is super fun and the use of these pedals is inventive and beautiful
Incredibly kind words. Made my day. Thank you!
Dope. As always, an awesome demo compared to other demo channels. Man, every company's device you demoed for sure will have a sure money to their pocket. It really is an effective lure to our ears with the way you play it with. So damn good everytime you do it.
Oh wow! Unbelievably kind comment you just left there. I hope that a humble Thank You will suffice, because you’ve left me speechless here... THANK YOU ❤️🙏
Can tell you genuinely enjoyed that pedal. Best pedal chanel hands down. Waiting for a microcosm demo........
I did indeed enjoy it. Cheers! 😊
The last two minutes, you speaking with such emotion and the nostalgic song in the background, almost made me cry. I'm getting this little fella in a couple of days, just because I discovered here in the lofi setup video!
I'm deeply humbled and honored to hear that my demo managed to evoke such an emotional response in you. That's what music is all about. And great to hear you're getting this pedal. It's an all-time fave of mine. You're gonna love it ❤
4:52 that riff is just nuts ! Another incredible demo. Ordered this one too. TPZ made me buy the EQD Avalanche Run, the Afterneath, looking for the Transmisser, the CBA Dark World.. 2019 is a pedal year. Thanks Stefan !
This truly is the best pedal demo ever. Now I have to have one. I don't think I could do the pedal as much justice as the guy who made this demo however.
Local shop just got 4 of these in stock and, thanks to this demo, I am 100% going to go buy one tomorrow. Great video man, subscribed.
You're not gonna regret getting this one. Just an incredible pedal. Has so much mojo. Honored to hear you liked the demo and that it made you subscribe to the channel. Thanks. Means a ton to me 🙏
@@thepedalzone hell yea man, I might’ve even sorta kinda stole your reverb > shallow water > OD trick for a a lofi beat already haha. Sounds so sick with the empress reverb ghost mode feeding it. Cheers and thanks again man.
I've been in love with this pedal since the first time I heard it....
But what you've shown me has opened my eyes to a whole new world of useability which I hadn't yet grasped..
Bumping the shallow water a number of places down my 'to get' list!!
Thank you!!
I'm honored, man. Happy that my demo could place this pedal in a new sonic perspective. It's just a phenomenal modulation pedal. I love mine dearly ☺
@@thepedalzone I should have followed up on this comment.... I got one very soon after this; it remains to this day the most beautiful and emotive effect I've ever played through. My board will never be without the Shallow Water.
@@IamtheWV17 really that good hey, have you found any other new or noteworthy pedal that are similar with the lofi style?
@AnthonyEvans-wl5ts I think that my gamechanger Plus pedal is probably the runner-up and will likely also never leave my board.
@@IamtheWV17 so worth buying a swallow water hey
That’s one of the best riffs I’ve heard from your page
Thank you!
I just put in an order for my second Shallow Water. It's that good, and your review really pinpoints the beautiful sounds that can be conjured out of this box of magic.
One thing though, the first few days after I got mine, I struggled a bit, but ime, the key to this box, as well as stuff from OBNE and Pladask (shoutout!), is to not be afraid of going wet (sometimes 100%). Another that come to mind, is how much the sound affects the playing. It makes the guitar become sort of a different instrument, with regards to touch and sound.
It's a word we throw around casually, but this _is_ beautiful: 1:04
Such a stunning demo. I’ve watched this three times just to hear the music. Well done mate.
Oh boy! That's so awesome to hear. Thank you ❤
That jam was sweet man. I bought this pedal on the strength of this video.
Thank you! Deeply honored to hear you found the demo inspiring and helpful. It's such a sweet pedal.
Cool tones. Really liked the demo. Frippertronics sounding
Thanks, man! Happy you enjoyed the tones. I love Robert Fripp 😊
OK OK!!! I'm buying it already. Sheeesh! Nicely presented bloke.
Thank you very very much. You're gonna love this pedal
That groove at the end of the video is just spectacular man!
Thanks, man! Happy you enjoyed that. It was so much fun to create 😊
I played this before NAMM and was SO in love and taken aback. You make it sound amazing, per usual!
Can’t explain how much that means to me. Thank you, Vanessa! Hope you get your hands on one. I can already imagine the magic you would create with it ❤️🙏
Wonderful review and truly moving music. I was so taken in by your demo that ordered one one of these after watching it. Keep up the great work! Thanks
Oh wow, man! Thank you so much. You're not gonna regret getting this one. Definitely my favorite modulation pedal ❤
Alright. If I ever find a genie in a bottle, one of my wishes is to make an album with you. Fantastic as always.
Awwwww! Too kind of you ❤
Amazing demonstration of this pedal, it's the best I've seen!
Wow, dude! Speechless! So honored to hear you fully enjoyed the demo. A lot of work went into it, so you have no idea how much your kindness means to me. Thank you ❤️🙏
yeah, this was the review that got me in tune with this pedal. thanks man, great work!! (i’m the guy who was asking on Instagram).
Awesome!! Thank you ❤
One of the few pedals to survive the purges before I jumped all the way into eurorack (with which it pairs beautifully).
That pedal is super hard to replace. It just sounds so damn good and so unique. ☺
Every time I look up a pedal and you haven’t done a demo on it, I reconsider buying it. The quality of your production coupled with your music ability... man, you’ve got a good thing going here. Keep it up and maybe do a demo on the mooer ocean machine lol
Oh, man! That is insanely kind of you to say. Thank you so very very much. Honored to have you here ❤
Haha, just realized I hadn’t subscribed. On it. 👍🏻
Superb demo! Your playing always brings out the best in pedals I would not think of. Awesome!
Dude! Thank you sooooo much ❤
you just sold me this pedal, literally
Awesome! Your username is fitting for the product. So I think you're gonna love that pedal just as much as I do ☺
Love what you did with the reverse delays fed into the pedal!
Thank you! Wasn't a reverse delay though. Was a loop I recorded and reversed ☺ But yeah, everything is just cooler in reverse!
Not a fan of modulation pedals but this gave me major goosebumps. 😍
This pedal is definitely way more than your standard modulation affair. It's nostalgic mojo magic in a box 😊
Great demo and gorgeous song! Bought shallow water after watching this video. Keep up the great work!
Dude! Thank you! Incredibly kind of you to say. Honored to hear that my demo inspired you to get this pedal. It’s hands down my favorite modulation pedal ❤️🤘
Hey Stefan, as usual, perfect demo! Pedals industry has to thank you to honour their products with this quality. I already bought several devices because of you. Your riffs are really better and better. You should make some videos about how you build your tones, showing us your protocoles! And make some soundcloud riff playlist that you wrote! I work with your demos in my ears... at this time the best RUclips channel I follow. And so many things to come I hope 🤞 we want Stefan the artist now!
He already is an artist! And yes, I'm in agreement, we would love to hear and support his conceptualized ideas in an album format.
However, let us acknowledge how he has offered his powerful knowledge base, and techy enterprise to us for greater understanding. Part of the brilliance that resides here is that he shares what he learns and puts great thought and care into harnessing his own creativity for our benefit. Such is the nature of a great teacher.
First demo of this one that has actually impressed...intrigued to try it now! Thanks
Super honored to hear that! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤ You should definitely give it a whirl. It's a fantastic time machine ☺
Just borrowed one this morn...damn. Damn damn damn. I was all set on waiting for the Pladask Form 2...what have you done to me!?!?!? But thanks again :)
Very cool you already got to try one. And great to hear it lived up to your expectations in real life as well ☺
Problem is I have to give it back on Monday and already it's becoming one of those addictions...had this with the Reverberation Machine; became such a part of my sound that it stays on no matter what style/song I'm playing. You learn to wield them as instruments, and this is (just like you said at the end) something you need to learn how to use, and experiment with. Even BIGGER thanks, this is a real gem that I honestly wouldn't have given the time if it weren't for your demonstration. On the other hand I now need to find an affordable one :)
You should really post full length performance videos! You’ve got a great mind for ambient music and I wanna hear more stuff you write.....so I can copy it haha
Thanks, man! Happy to hear that you'd listen to it ❤
The pedal sounds awesome - but it's the musical arrangement that stands out - wonderful video! For my own board, I chose to get a Strymon Deco to achieve similar sounds - I just hope I can come up with something just as beautiful with it :)
Beautiful Guitar Work.
Humbled by your kindness. Thank you 🙏
Beautiful demo as always! Loved the subtle video FX too 😉
Thank you so much ❤️🙏
Have to keep coming back to this video!! I could absolutely love in this sound as well!! I love what you do with this pedal!! I needs one and the astral destiny as well!!
Thank you, Jeremy!
@@thepedalzone I ended up getting that astral destiny! This one is next on the list did just watch your new death by audio video tho I need that one as well
mine is on the way to my house from amazon :) can not freaking wait!
Awesome! You're gonna love it
Love this demo. Come back often just to hear your jams. Would love to know who you’re listening to currently.
I just bought this. I had wanted the Chase Bliss Generation Loss pedal, (the mark II), but it isn't coming out until early next year and the price tag on it is pretty rough. This sounds to me just as good. There's something about that effect that I just can't hear enough of. You've done such a beautiful job demo'ing the pedal. Subscribed!
This review is awesome. Very inspiring. Thanks!
Thank you very much 🙏
As usual, Well played, very emotional music, and not shallow at all :-)
Thanks, man! Means a lot. A ton of work went into this demo, so I'm really stoked to hear you enjoyed it ❤
Cant get enough!! Nice playthrough
Awwww, thanks! Thrilled to hear you enjoyed it ❤️🙏
Your videos are amazing! Your channel is always my first stop when I open my computer :)
Honored to hear that, dude ❤
What an amazing review/demo.
Thank you very very much ❤
I just got this pedal a week ago. Re-watched this video to help dial in some settings that can work for me (was wandering in the dark a bit). I rearranged some surrounding pedals (OD in front), and I think I'm finally getting the hang of this one - I'm going for a goldilocks setting - not too subtle, not too over the top ; ) I can tell it is going to be an always on thing. Thanks again.
its such an addicting modulation, Stefan.
It sure is! It's ALIVE!
wicked tones that groove box into mod , great loops, powerful
Thanks, dude! Happy to hear you liked that part ☺
Oh man, love this blissful demo🖤
Awesome as usual. Like your playing so much! And the pedal too✌🏻
Awww, dude! You’re too kind. Thank you! ❤️
Oh man! Excellent demo, Stefan!
Thank you very much, my friend! Think this pedal is right up your alley ☺
Yes, I see that! DAMN!
Cool pedal, awesome musician.
Cheers, man! Very kind of you 🙏
This jam has the power to save lives. Keep on my man!.
Too kind. Thank you ❤️🙏
Been unsure about buying this but I think you’ve put me over the edge.. sick review, subscribed 👌🏻
No need to be unsure here. This is just an incredible pedal. By far my favorite modulation device. Go for it! I'm really happy that you liked my demo, and that it inspired you to reconsider this magical effect ☺
have been starting to think of vibrato as more of a 'master' effect lately and so loved when you ran the drum mixed with guitar thru it!
That's exactly how I think of Vibrato. I often use it last in chain in order to simulate committing sound/recordings to tape. Just sounds so alive 🙌
With the synth it makes me think that might be another good "Boards Of Canada device" :)
This pedal is practically Boards Of Canada in a box ☺
Stefan the BEST ❤
Awwwwww ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks! 😊
Lovely as always Stefan!
Thanks, buddy! ☺
Solid demo bro! Thx!
Thank you!
Price be damned. I had to pick one of these up after seeing demo after demo where it just sounds that. good.
And time out. “Like a slow ballet performed by pillars of dust and sand?” Nice.
Thank you!! ❤️🙏
1:27 bittersweet stefan such a nice melody.
Dude. Damn it. I need one of these!!
Heck to the YEAH, dude! By far my favourite modulation pedal. You're gonna love it ❤
ThePedalZone just pulled the trigger on one!. Really excited to get to work with it. I was curious, during the section where you are using the reverse delay, were you running the shallow water before or after the delay?
What a great demo...
I have been in love with this pedal since your video and I have looked at them all on RUclips but none are as beautiful as what you don with it! I love tour playing and I’m a bass player I’d love to jam with you one day in a room
So beautiful.
Thank you very very much! It is indeed a beautiful pedal ❤
I have The Clone Theory and it does those 80s chorus sounds perfectly - not to mention that iconic vibrato magic! - and I'm wondering if the Shallow Water can get 'there', too?
It obviously does it's own unique thing very well, so for that reason alone I will be picking one up!
Thanks!
I wouldn't go for the Shallow Water if you want classic hi-fi 80s chorus and vibrato tones. Shallow Water goes more for the lo-fi feel. The beauty in the broken. The delightfulness in the disintegrating. There's ghosts in this machine, and you need to be willing and able to dance with them. If you're up for that, then pedals don't come better than the Shallow Water. It's by far my favorite modulation pedal.
Amazing...a guitar demo with a non PRS guitar...very rare these days! Well done for defying the herd.
The unicorn of pedal demos 🦄
that's beautiful bro
Thank you so much, man! ❤
Every new upload of Riff and Run adds a new bullet to my list of must buy pedals... but i truly don't know if i'll ever be able to control it the way Stefan does. Mastery! Absolutely love your work my friend.
PS. what's that Synth app you have on your iphone?
Thank you so much for the kindness, man! Just really cool to hear that my demos bring you value and entertainment. Makes it all worth it ❤️🙏 The app is called Moodscaper.
If everybody demoed this pedal the way you did, while explaining the functions, it would be sold out.
Well..... not likely, but you get my meaning! 😂
Definitely taking that as a big compliment. Thank you!
finally got one of these, and it's all because of you! this is so beautiful
Honored that my demo inspired you to go for this stunning modulation device. It's just unlike anything else out there. Stoked to hear that you adore it as much as I do ☺
is there a cheaper alternative to an effect like this? Like a vibrato but not "linear"? I love it, but goddman it's expensive
Well now EQD have the Aqueduct, which has a random mode. You'll just get less control and no LPF.
Zoom Multistomp Lo-Fi Effects and 9 Lo-Fi Patches
ruclips.net/video/APcXZDDhLrk/видео.html
Zvex Instant Lofi Junky maybe? A little less weird.
You can get a fairly similar sound with a Memory Boy Deluxe, analogue modulated delay. It also has an expression out, which you can attribute to different things, including delay time, which means you can manually control fluctuations and flutters.
huge! great job! nailed...again!!
Awwww, man! Thank you! ❤️🙏
Damn, I might need this one now... But I already have an EQD Sea Machine and it seems like there might be some overlap. Would you agree?
I also have a Sea Machine, and no, there's no overlap. At least not in my book. Yes, they both do chorus tones, but it's very very different chorus tones. Sea Machine is way more clean and pristine, whereas the Shallow Water is more gritty and lo-fi sounding. You could easily have both on your board. I do that from time to time. Then I use the Sea Machine for classic pristine chorus tones and the Shallow Water for warbly lo-fi tape vibratos. Killer combo! ❤
I have a chorus and flanger and this just hits different... this is going on the board immediately even though i already have the other two pedals.. Great video!!!
question: before or after dirt pedals?
This one is definitely very different to your classic chorus and flanger pedals. It's a nostalgia machine :)
Placement all depends on tonal preference. You get a cleaner and more pronounced modulation effect if you place it after dirt. That's my personal preference. But placing before dirt can also yield really cool results. So always experiment with placement and figure out what your own sonic preference is.
loved the video ... i know these lo-fi sounds are not my cup of tea ... thanks for the inspiration stefan
btw ... what is that black clip on the headstock of your guitar? I see it on other videos too
Really happy you enjoyed the demo, man! The clip is a Peterson StroboClip HD clip-on tuner 😊
ty ...
btw i bet you already seen this ;)
ruclips.net/video/wfuH3Dujq74/видео.html
The final clip totally has a Porter Robinson's Worlds vibe to it. Which means it's basically auditory perfection
Never heard of the dude until now. Thanks for introducing me to his music. It's really great. Honored to be compared to him ❤
I love this channel!!!!!
Thank you very very much! So kind of you ❤️
So... It's a pedal that makes everything beautiful?
Seriously tho, great song writing :)
That is indeed the best and simplest way of putting it. Just makes everything sound stunning. Happy you liked it, dude ☺
So, um, did you LIKE it? :-)
Seriously, very nice demo. Shows off the range of things that can be accomplished. Provides delightful "animation" to the sound, rather than anything in your face. Not enough of that stuff out there.
I freaking LOVE it! ☺ Delightful animation is the perfect way to describe this pedal. It just adds life to your overall sound ❤
“Dip your tone in the shallow water”. Nice 😄
Pedal puns are a must. Happy it was appreciated 😂❤
Now I'm watching all your videos, super cool demos man!
How would you compare Shallow Water to Strymon Deco? Do you think Deco's saturation can be compared to SWs LPF? And the wobble to rate/depth controls?
you’ve completely sold me on this pedal. it really is nostalgia in a box. any thoughts on where this might work best on a pedalboard? i had planned on putting it right with my other modulation pedals after my compressor, but i’m interested to hear any other opinions. thanks for all you do man!
I just noticed that in the 4:41 mark. You managed to make the the two pedals sound very close to the chase bliss dark world.
Great demo! At 3.38 are you also using reverse delay or it’s that just the the shallow water?
Thanks
The reverse sound you're hearing is me reversing the loop that's playing into the Shaloow Water. So Shallow Water can't do reverse effects. Just glorious lo-fi modulation :)
As someone who already owns a meet maude which can be set to do a similar thing I question if the shallow water is redundant. I don‘t want to invest so much when the meet maude is already 80% or so there. STEFAN, please, could You comment on that ...
I have the Meet Maude as well, and I find the Shallow Water far from redundant. I actually prefer the Shallow Water. It just has the perfect unpredictable lo-fi vibe going. The closest I've heard to real lo-fi tape recordings.
Your playing is beautiful! I'd love for you to show us how you play some of the songs your preform here! Please!😢
Thank you very much!
Great pedal and great demo... and your loops are "knobs"izing.. ;)
Thank you very much, man! ☺
