In this video I will review my three favorite pedals from Fairfield Circuitry: Shallow Water, Meet Maude and Long Life.
Using the OP1 as sound source, I will play with all the knobs of these amazing fxs and tell you why I love them so much.
I enjoy creating pedal chains using only one brand because is the best way to understand the goal and aesthetic of their creators. It seems to me that Fairfield pointed toward character and lofi/retro vibes, and I love that choice.
On my Patreon you can find an extended tutorial where I show how I created the track in the OP1.

Don't worry about your delivery, it's sincere and poetic; 'My heart lies in the shallow water' could be a ballad lyric, track title or a T-shirt! :)
It actually sounds good :)
i feel like there aren't enough videos out there that showcase this quality of the fairfield pedals. very nice!
agreed! love them
The Fairfield's have been on our wishlist for awhile and this demo definitely puts it over as must haves. Another great demo, Oora!
Thanks a lot, they definitely do things right!
Really great video dude! You really have hit the spot with this setup, really inspiring! Shallow water is a future purchase for sure
Thanks! 👍
I love the way you got these 3 pedals interacting. I love Maude and the Shallow Water but now you have me convinced to look at the Long Life. The OP-1 is so hard to explain to those who think it is just a crazy expensive toy. It is hard to leave home without it! Lovely video, and music, and terrific, honest descriptions particularly your ideas about maxing out the mix and depth on SW. I always crank those…Maude brings the most beautiful darkness and musicality to the repeats. With an expression pedal plugged in, it becomes a gritty “reverb”. These pedals are hard to turn off! Thank you❤️
Thanks Chris, i know this is an expensive passion :)
Full of lush atmospheric sounds.
I have a Fairfield Pedal on my wishlist at a Eurorack/Electronic
Instruments store but I haven't bought it yet because there aren't many videos about these Pedals so didn't know what they did or sounds they could create. Now with your wonderful video explaining what they actually do and hearing your Soundscape examples + explanation of each one I will buy one of them. Just don't know which one as you make them all sound so good & interesting! Thanks for showing these Pedals. Ciao~💡🌌🦎💥🤙
happy it was helpful!
If you have both the Shallow Water and Meet Maude, and you're missing stereo Shallo Waters, try running one pedal on each channel (L and R).
Set the MM time knob to 0 and you now have two identical random pitch modulators that use the same process to modulate. The MM doesn't have the lowpass gate or granular control. But it's basically stereo shallow waters!
Big Boards of Canada vibes in those sounds. Very nice.
thanks, they are of course a big inspiration
This is sick!
thanks!
Lovely stuff! Came over from your IG.
TRS = Tip/Ring/Sleeve. TSR = Dungeons & Dragons :) Lovely sounds, thanks for sharing your talent. Even w/o stereo, the Shallow Water is just too precious. For studio stuff, I might experiment with multitrack hard left and right in two takes.
ahah thanks!! I played D&D for a long time, that's why!
My first pedal many years ago was a Big Sky Reverb. After a few months I felt it was something I just set and forget. Found my software Reverbs were good enough and sold it. Eventually I changed my setup and still prefer in the box effects but then i found the Zen Delay. Took a chance on that because it seemed like an instrument more than just a stomp box. And it was the best purchase ever. The big knobs, build quality and of course the sound is just high level. With that said i am enjoying working out of the box more and alway always wanted something like the Shallow Water. Is this something you can tweak in your set like a Zen Delay? Or do you prefer to get your settings in and leave it alone?
Thank you for your time and sharing your studio! Doing a great job and alway look forward to the music and studio tours.
Thanks for sharing Mark. I usually set the shallow and let it be. Id love to try a zen delay, I really like what i saw online!
This was so great! I love Fairfield pedals and have a couple myself! I wonder, since you got a Lubadh (which I also got, great module).... have you tried to replicate Meet Maude with it? Should be possible with delay mode, or simple
Looping and some modulation of the playback, but one might want to mix it with the dry signal somewhere... that’s something to try!! Anyway, thanks again for this and keep it up! Cheers!
yes it sounds very covincing, somhow like the blooper tape degradation
I bought 2 Shallow Water pedals so I can have the effect In Stereo. Best money ever spent.
I guess its my next move!
Curious to hear the Maude used in a dub techno setting. Long Life would be a good pedal for taming a powerful synth that takes up a lot of frequencies.
Where did you get those pedal cables? They are aesthetic my man.
thanks man! will try that combo . Cables are G or lava cable solder less !
Ι wonder how the long life works with the Perfourmer. Sometimes I miss a master filter on it.
could be an idea. will try!
did you end up using the long life for your modular?
yes I tried few times, probably will do some video in the future
if i put a flanger pedal at the end of the shallow water to add stereo width, do you think that would work fine with making it sound Stereo?
I don't see why not!
@@OoraMusic thanks man, i really value your opinion!
I'm watching this and feeling sad that I didn't pick up an OP-1 back before the price climbed over $1000 USD. If you had to replace your OP-1 with some other small synth/sampler, with a similar sound and/or workflow, what would you choose?
you can find used now for 600!
@10:35 lousy neighbors 😂🤣🤣
:)
if only they were stereo, I would get them in a heartbeat, until then... its a hard pass for me
Hope they will do it!
