Fairfield Shallow Water K-Field Modulator Pedal

Step into the ambient realm of the Fairfield Special KFM Shallow Water pedal, a k-field modulator designed to craft unique sonic experiences. Distinct from the typical analog chorus/vibrato, this pedal blends vintage vibes with a modern touch. Plus, its limited-edition casing is truly one-of-a-kind!

The core of its modulation magic is a microcontroller that emits random voltage variations at different durations. With the RATE control, you can govern these variations, letting you shift from mellow oscillations to lively alterations. The DAMP feature allows you to control these shifts. At minimum, you get quick pitch alterations, but as you dial it up, you unveil a slower, chorus-like aura. With the DEPTH control, the modulation's strength is in your hands, suggesting the beauty of understatement.

After passing through the delay, the sound meets a low-pass filter that adapts to the signal's envelope. Adjust the LPG control, and you can switch between a responsive lo-fi tone and a crisp gate-like effect.

Internally, the pedal comes equipped with BOOST and PAD selectors. Set to cater to a guitar's single coils by default, they can be adjusted for varied signal strengths or input types. The internal LPG adjust is a clever addition, letting you tweak the recovery filter's base frequency, ensuring it resonates perfectly with your preferences.
