NPD-Four Eyes

Post by coldbrightsunlight »

Fairfield Four Eyes arrived today! Unsurprisingly, it's awesome. :!!!:

Hey, it's #1, that's pretty neat.

Such an amazing pedal, everyone should have one! Blowing up amp sounds, weird resonance, octave down, oscillation, really cool blends of 2 different sounds in some settings, and it does such nice overdrive it's cured my desire to get FUCKed. :picard: Great with big chords because of the frequency dividing probably, doesn't have as much gain as I thought it would, boosting it with a TAFM is full on mental though, and I probably won't find my favourite sounds again for weeks, but daaaaaaaaang it's great. It does some really strange shit like making 3 notes go an octave down but all the others normal which is awesome, having a funny short tone when you stop playing like a fucked up reverb, and the blowing up amp sounds... :drool: Sounds pretty cool on bass too, though most settings lose a bit of low end. Overall :yay:

I recorded me playing around with it for a while when I first got it and cut that into some shorter clips, it's all here: http://soundcloud.com/death-truckers if anyone's interested. They all feature me forgetting songs, fucking up and noodling when I can't even remember a song to fuck up. There's some crazy shit in there, but it seems like most of the clips are mainly normal sounds, because every time I got a nice sound I kept it around for a while, so I guess they aren't great demos of what it can do.

This is me :joy:

FZ001? WOW!!
Nice description... this one does the job of three pedals (for me)... Overdrive (with fuzzy ends), Octave and filter.
I don't have an expression pedal yet, but I will soon.
Trick, when I found a great setting, I take a photo of it with my phone.
I will listen to your clip when I'll be home tonight.
I should make a video soon.

For the first time with a pedal I think an expression pedal might really be worth it, for tuned oscillation, crazy resonant filters and stuff. Alternatively I could get a CV generator thing though... POSSIBILITIES (lots) vs INCOME (none).

Nice video! It's ridiculous how many different sounds it has. :thumb:

This is a keeper... I wont trade or sell this one.
Just ordered a FC t-shirt blue like the blue light of the Four Eyes. :thumb:
