sp3ct3rs d3mos presents Fairfield Circuitry’s Hors d’Oeuvre

When Fairfield Circuitry asks if you want to demo something, you say yes. The Hors d'Oeuvre was an interesting surprise. I have a few pieces of gear that have loops in them: Homenoise Effects - Black Lodge, Screwed Circuitz - E-Mental V1 and recently the KMA - Moai Maea. So a standalone loop was something new and familiar at the same time. I decided to approach it in my usual way. Hope you enjoy.

The Hors d’Oeuvre is an Active Feedback Loop
FEATURES
JFET preamps on IN and RTN inputs
Phase polarity selection on wet and feedback signal
Dry level control for dry mixing of effects chain
USES
Create positive and negative feedback loops
Mix your dry signal with any effected chain
Invert the phase of your wet signal chain
Mix two signals into 2 distinct outputs
Split a signal to 2 outputs
Create no-input drones and ambiences
Expand the possibilities already offered by your various effect pedals
Remove fundamental signal and listen to distortion product
RECOMMENDED COMBINATIONS
pitch shifters
fuzzes
reverbs
ring mods
delays
phasers
loopers
CONNECTIONS
IN instrument input
OUT to amplifier
SND output send to effects chain
RTN input return from effects chain
9V 9VDC input, center-negative
CONTROLS
DRY input signal level at output - unity around 2 o'clock
WET return signal level at output - unity around 2 o'clock
+ positive phase wet signal
- negative phase wet signal
FEED return signal level at send output
+ positive phase feed signal
- negative phase feed signal
True bypass switch

These demos are always a treasure trove, thank you.

StylusNation I really appreciate that more than you know. Thank you .

[@circuitousvibes5226]

Highly entertaining. Cheers.

avant-garde. dark. beautiful

[@sp3ct3rsd3mos]

thank you my friend. big taco-y e-hugs... yup that's a thing.

Every one has a bad presentation but.. your presentation is so stunning

[@sp3ct3rsd3mos]

thank you

Noise is an art.. and you Jim are a master painter..

[@sp3ct3rsd3mos]

Haunted Labs thank you man. I appreciate that.

I'm new to this kind of film/music-genre. I know that there's beauty to it but I just don't understand it yet. What's the appeal?

[@sp3ct3rsd3mos]

I can tell you my motivation for creating demos like this. I've been into gear for years, but found most demos didn't really speak to me personally. I found them too boring, too rock and blues based... (once again, for me). I wanted somethign that showcased some more interesting and extreme sounds pedals can make. I also wanted way less guitar and no talking, or deep explanations. I personally don't need to have someone explain to me what a blend knob does, for example. Anyway, in short i created demos i would want to see, and have found there is a small group of folks who enjoy them as well.

This is so excellent and beautiful, thank you (and I’ve just now subscribed!). Question: and so, e.g. with certain pedals in the loop of this, and with it set to unity and no feedback, this can function as rather a loop switcher to turn the pedals in the loop on and off?

[@sp3ct3rsd3mos]

Exactly it can be used for that as well. Sometime next month I’ll be demoing the Pladask Kniv which may be different than this. :)

[@stagnatic]

@@sp3ct3rsd3mos ooh, intriguing, thank you! Just checked it out online, not much out there on the Kniv-hurry with your demo so I can decide! Looks different from the FC pedal, but similar? Two foot switches?

@@stagnatic he’s sending it to me next week I believe ;)

[@jonaseggen2230]

This is art. Fine art, applied art and crafts in one. Why buy three different arts separately when you can get all in one? So time and space consuming and good for the economy to! Who can say they have enough time, money or space? Well, space you might say is big so.., yes, yes it is, but can you easily get there? Well now you can. This art does that for you. Isn't it great? And not only that but you also get to travel in time to. A short trip to heaven or hell in 1962? No problem, just wake up and smell the ashes. So go on now and make yourself and your family happy and smash that subscribe button and don't forget to ding that bell.
