There’s something about a good compressor pedal that just MAKES your signal sound right. There are big compressors (Origin Effects Cali76), medium-sized (Strymon Compadre) and regular (RetrogradeFX Underthruster) compressors and teeny, tiny ones. Which brings us to today’s pedal, Fairfield Circuitry’s The Accountant Compressor, a small but perfectly-sized gem that makes you tone come alive! One knob and two toggles...

We have never reviewed a bad pedal from our friends at Fairfield Circuitry, and luckily that trend is going to continue today. The Long Life Parametric EQ is an extremely unique effects pedal, one that’s sometimes hard to categorize. A filter effect with wide range and application, this versatile machine combines tilt and notch/boost equalization around a 2nd-order state-variable core. In short, it’s a one-band parametric...

Any kind of pedals that push boundaries and make us think a little differently are always welcome here at Pedal of the Day.

Active Feedback Loop lets you put together as many of your favorites pedals as you’d like, then...

Over the years, we’ve reviewed some awesome pedals from our Canadian friends Fairfield Circuitry, and today we get to do it once more. The Shallow Water is a K-Field Modulator pedal, one that mixes in elements of chorus, flanger, vibrato and more, to form a distinctly exclusive new type of effect. Built using simulation mathematics and old tape echo flavors, this hard-to-classify pedal is right up our alley. A Rate control...

Ring modulators are a love or hate kind of pedal, in our experience (we happen to fall into the former category here at POTD), but it would be hard to find anyone that wouldn’t like to sit down and play with today’s featured piece of gear. Randy’s Revenge (where do these guys come up with these awesome names?) is a ring mod, for sure, but also boasts elements of tremolo, vibrato, fuzz and more, all inside a...

The gang at Fairfield Circuitry are well-known for creating new and exciting pedals, so we were super-stoked when we teamed up with them and they sent us our first pedal for review, the Four Eyes Fuzz. Having reviewed their Barbershop Overdrive and Meet Maude Analog Delay pedals so far, we were excited to test out their take on a fuzz pedal, and it did not disappoint. Containing three parallel JFET fuzz circuits driven by a voltage...

Guess what? We’re going to review another delay today, making it three in a row (like we’ve said before, we love some delay around here). This one is a truly unique delay, however, one that you’ve probably not seen the likes of before, although I’m sure you’ve heard about it in recent years. Fairfield Circuitry is in a constant state of innovation, with each new pedal they put out topping the previous,...

After seeing their pedals repeatedly pop up all over social media, I was super-intrigued by Fairfield Circuitry, and what they had to offer. Their “Randy’s Revenge” and “Meet Maude” really caught my eye, but as they are quite pricey, I decided to initiate myself into the Fairfield world with ease, starting with a well-priced overdrive, the Barbershop. The version I was able to buy for a super price deal...
