My log has a message for you. Meet Maude is an analog delay from Fairfield Circuitry with two levels of random modulation and optical compression.
It’s an altogether a fantastic, dark, tape-like delay pedal with a very handy tone knob that controls the repeat frequencies.
That tone knob plays with the feedback knob beautifully. The farther from center position the tone control is, the faster the delay will go into feedback.
The bottom toggle is a discrete JFET compressor, which can even out the dynamics of your signal. It applies only to the feedback signal, not the dry signal.
The magic in this pedal is the random modulation, which makes the delay time jump up or down unpredictably. You can have no modulation, a little, or a lot.
I start this demo with compression on the delay (bottom toggle in up position) and move to the uncompressed sound. Then I go back to the compressed sound because I like it a lot more.
I also start with no modulation (top toggle down) and move to the first level of random modulation, then to the higher level of random modulation.
Song performed is “Falling” by Julee Cruise (aka the theme from Twin Peaks).
