Why Guitarists Are Obsessed with THESE Pedals!
Fairfield Circuitry | Golden Age of Gear Ep. 42
This week we’re diving into some truly weird and wonderful pedals — including a Fairfield Circuitry ring modulator, tilt EQ, and more. These Canadian-made pedals have a cult following for good reason, and we’re putting them to the test to see just how wild (and surprisingly musical) things can get.
From spacey oscillations to straight-up noise-maker fun, we explore how tools like Fairfield’s Randy’s Revenge, Long Life, and other oddballs fit into a guitar rig. We also chat about gear regrets, moving amps & pedals along, and what it means to collect vs. actually keep the keepers.
👉 Whether you’re a boutique pedal nerd, a gear collector, or just love watching two friends get lost in tones that range from beautiful to bizarre, this one’s for you.

- Fairfield Circuitry Ring Modulator deep dive (aka Randy’s Revenge)
- Why tilt EQ is cooler than you think

- Pedal regrets vs. keepers
