Meet Maude delivers a truly vintage, almost haunting delay sound you won’t find elsewhere.

Ideal for guitarists and bassists into Americana, vintage rock, and atmospheric soundscapes.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s not a simple EQ; it alters the overall character of the delayed signal, often softening high frequencies and adding a subtle warmth, more akin to vintage tape machines.
It’s a fairly subtle, band-like modulation – not a deep chorus or tremolo, but enough to add movement and character to the repeats.
While it's not completely noise-free, Fairfield Circuitry has done a good job minimizing noise. You might hear a touch of hiss at higher feedback settings, but it’s part of the vintage charm.
