Hors D'Oeuvre?

Active feedback looper

Hors D'oeuvre from Fairfield Circuitry is an active feedback loop pedal that can add unpredictability into your effects chain.

Feedback is found on many delay pedals and can set the amount of repeats within a delay line. Hors D'oeuvre creates a feedback loop by sending your audio through to external sources that can affect the sonic characteristics and feeding the signal back on itself. Create an underlying bed of chaos that sits under the mix for ambience and depth. Turning up the feed control adds more feedback into the loop, resulting in unpredictable tones and textures. Set the balance between the dry input signal and the wet feedback loop with the wet and dry knobs. The active feedback loop features JFET transistors which can add an additional layer of distortion to the loop. The polarity of the wet signal and the feedback path can be swapped, which can totally rearrange the behavior of the feedback loop. Explore the world of feedback loops with this pedal, it can get strange and yet there is a certain beauty that can be reigned in with careful control.

"Active Feedback Loop
As you wait for the next tray of free food on platters held by white gloves, notice the contrasts that emerge from the hunger and tensions within the space. Will we remember what it takes to keep us here?

Indeed, causality breaks down when feedback loops are involved. The effect nestled within the cause, without cause, and so on. There is no beginning or end, at least objectively. And so, who eats the last hors d'œuvre, when time is space and silence is noise

The Hors d'Oeuvre? Active Feedback Loop then serves different opportunities to create and listen to: bipolar feedback of any combination of sound processing devices, and signal difference of input and return signals.

It is intentionally an introduction."
