Went to go watch the demo again and Fairfield has closed their youtube account :?:

Got one of these coming in the mail, just want to know if the mix knob goes 100% wet?

Yes, it goes 100% wet if I remember correctly (not at home with it now to check again)

Anyone else get Guillaume's email? It was in my junk messages so I figured some might have missed it:
Guillaume Fairfield wrote:If you're receiving this e-mail, it means you were among the first people to receive the Meet Maude Analogue Delay. We're grateful for your order and hope that you're tripping out with our new unit. We've since made a few changes to the calibration of the delay, as well as other modifications that we think improve the overall usability of the pedal.

The changes we made affect the range of the delay time and the gating of the delayed signal. The longer range of the delay time is now a bit shorter, more along the 500ms range as spec'd. This improves the response of the time control. You might have noticed that there is little change in delay time in the first third or even half of the control. Now, the longest delay time is not as long, but the feel of the control is much better.

The other change is in the calibration. The filter at the output of the delay line is now more open. This affects how the pedal reacts to lower level inputs, like single coils. It also allows for less dark and less gated repetitions. You might have noticed this gating, now it's much less present.

We wanted to make right and offer everybody 3 solutions to this:

- If you like the pedal as it is, keep it like that and rejoice in its particularities.

- The gating described above can be adjusted by ear, we will send you a procedure for you to do this with a few simple tools.

- The delay can be sent in, we will apply the changes at no charge and send you back your pedal.

The choice is yours.

Have a good day!
I've just asked for the procedure to do it myself. I really like how the Maude sounds and reacts to my playing so I really doubt I'd actually change it.

I got the same message. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. Sounds great the way it is, but will it sound better?... Decisions, decisions.

Hmmm, I looked through my email and spam folder and didn't receive it. Wonder if they had it changed by mine (#93).

I think the first batch was 30 pedals.
