Fairfield Circuitry Limited "Special Form" Shallow Water K-Field Modulator 233 of 500

To commemorate 1000 units and 6 years of this incredible device, Fairfield Circuitry has released 500 of these Special Form Shallow Waters. Each unit has been burned by fire and washed in water. Each one has a slightly variable appearance. 

It's not quite a chorus, not quite a vibrato, not quite a phase/flange...it's its own blend of modulation. And it's absolutely wonderful. 

Poolside conversations while staring at your own reflection. The depths of which shall never be known, at least not for another couple thousand years. So it goes.

Before the reflection, is the experience. Before phenomena, or even noumena, is that which is undefinable. That which has never been heard, that which will never be heard again and that which has always been heard but never listened to.

K-field (Simulation mathematics), an  undefined, two-dimensional, non-linear field where past and future forces interact at irregular intervals. Shallow Water generates this k-field by randomly modulating a short time delay to create unexpected shifts in pitch. The result is this non cyclical vibrato/chorus/flanger-type thing favouring old tape flavours.

The water is shallow on this side of the pool. Do not dive and you will not drown.
