"With my love of spring reverb feedback, the Fjaerlett was a complete no brainer for me and as soon as I heard about it I put my name on the wait list.

That was 4 years ago.

I completely forgot about it until last month when the invoice for instrument number 162 dropped.

It was delivered today.

This is the first run out for it recorded direct to camera. Reverb (offscreen) is provided via an instance of Galactic 3 running on the 4ms Metamodule. There is no eq or compression on the output.

First impressions? This is an elegant, delicate instrument that will take time to learn. The interrelationships between the three springs, the equaliser bands and the feedback level are complex and varied. They are not necessarily repeatable during a session - what looks like the same slider settings will not always provide the same outcomes. At least not at first.

As ever with spring reverb feedback, it's not hard to drive it into standing, sine wave like oscillation. But the more interesting stuff happens on the edges when you can find them. My sense is that there are many edges to be discovered.

I was monitoring this at a fairly low level. High on my to do list is monitor a session at much higher levels to encourage feedback on my feedback.

Let the games begin...."
