New Pedal Releases

The Fairfield sounded okay, although I wouldn't say I heard anything I've not heard done with just two delay lines but perhaps it's a bit more lively in person.
I know it was just a quick little teaser video, but I felt pretty underwhelmed listening to that. To me it just sounds like a more tweakable slapback delay with a little longer decay times on tap. Not a knock on the sound itself, but I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw the nearly $500 price tag slapped onto that sound

Fairfield is one of those brands that makes me feel like this 11028.jpg
 
I have zero need for a weird reverb. It's too "effecty". I'm more interested in messing with my notes, not what comes after them.
I wish FC made more modulation effects. Imagine what they could do to a phaser.
Anyway let's wait to see what Jeff Tweedy does with this :)
 
DOD and Behringer.
I have no DIY replacement for a tuner and DOD rubberneck.
I still have a barber Launchpad (could be replaced) and a behringer Vibrato. I am thinking about a midi pedalswitcher, but that would bring me more deeper in the manbun territory.

What if sound wasn’t just about speakers and synthesizers? What if you could make music by striking metal plates, shaking objects, or vibrating strings?

Kassiopeia is a 4-channel DC interface that turns movement into sound and light. It lets you control motors, solenoids, fans, LEDs and lamps using MIDI or CV/Gate. Each channel can either smoothly adjust power levels (great for controlling motors and movement) or send short, punchy triggers (perfect for percussive hits).

Designed for experimental musicians, sound artists, and tinkerers, Kassiopeia lets you:

Trigger solenoids to create percussive rhythms on any object.
Control motors and fans to shak, vibrate, or bow strings.
Control lamps and LEDs for an immersive performance.
Build kinetic sound sculptures that interact with the physical world.
Power-starve devices for glitchy, unpredictable results.

Simply connect it to a laptop via MIDI (Ableton-ready!) or control it with CV/Gate from your modular system.

During its development, we worked closely with Hildur Guðnadóttir and her band Osmium, incorporating ideas from the modified Halldorophone used in the Joker soundtrack. It’s an instrument of endless possibilities—where will you take it?

Yats...
 
Appart from the diy stuff What are the pedal brands folk who build their own would have on their boards?
Slightly more affordable and most likely used. I have some pedals from brands I have a soft spot for like PastFx. I have an MXR Super Bad Ass Distortion which I think is a steal for the price it can be had as well as a script Phase 90. Have an old Sovtek muff I can’t bring myself to sell. Have some Boss pedals like the DD200, CE5 and the new poly shifter which may go to the used market cause I don’t use it enough. And I have some budget clones. I’ve a deluxe memory man. I haven’t reached the pointed of making my own BBD pedals just yet. I’ll be trying my first PT2399 based delay soon. I’m no guru like some of these guys.
 
I think this thread has gone way off course with some of these pedal recommendations so I’m gonna recommend this again. I’m still intrigued by the LPD Pedals JMP 79. Also, the Skreddy Super 100 which I can’t find any quality videos of. There is 1 video of the Rubber Soul which is supposed to be similar more more Vox instead of Marshall.

I also use a rubberneck and keep a behringer vibrato around as a back up to my viib. Haven't been able to replace my EHX H.O.G either though I no longer use it for octave down sounds now that I have both an Ocelot and a Soy Sauce on there.

I cut off my softball sized man-bun a few years ago but I still rock a flannel and beard.
