Fairfield Circuitry | Golden Age of Gear Ep. 42
This week we’re diving into some truly weird and wonderful pedals — including a Fairfield Circuitry ring modulator, tilt EQ, and more. These Canadian-made pedals have a cult following for good reason, and we’re putting them to the test to see just how wild (and surprisingly musical) things can get.
From spacey oscillations to straight-up noise-maker fun, we explore how tools like Fairfield’s Randy’s Revenge, Long Life, and other oddballs fit into a guitar rig. We also chat about gear regrets, moving amps & pedals along, and what it means to collect vs. actually keep the keepers.
👉 Whether you’re a boutique pedal nerd, a gear collector, or just love watching two friends get lost in tones that range from beautiful to bizarre, this one’s for you.
In This Episode:
- Fairfield Circuitry Ring Modulator deep dive (aka Randy’s Revenge)
- Why tilt EQ is cooler than you think
- Long Life EQ & filter textures
- Pedal regrets vs. keepers
- Using weird pedals in a mix or live rig
- Why every town needs a boutique pedal shop
If you’ve ever wondered what the heck you’d actually use a ring mod for… this episode might surprise you.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
