Fairfield Circuitry Placeholder Analog Reverb Device

I am sitting in a room Distance between things. Blinded by the moment. Subdued by its effect. In phase and out of it. Space is the place

Placeholder is an analogue implementation of a digital reverb algorithm using BBDs, mixers, VCAs and simple zesty filters. The topology in question is called Householder, allowing quick echo density even with only three delay-lines.

There's no denying the power of algorithmic representation of our daily activities. But let's not forget that the complex-system underlying our lived experience, the background noise and uncertainty, is intrinsic.

Truly unique approach; analogue emulation of a digital reverb algorithm using bucket brigade devices. The signal path is all-analogue. Controls altogether allow for a surprising array of possibilities:

• large bingo halls


• bathrooms and shower stalls


• spring-like flavours


• semblance of plate reverbs


• unrealistically small rooms


• real close to flanging
