Fairfield Circuitry Placeholder Bucket Brigade Reverb Effect Pedal

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.
