The Fredric Effects Super Unpleasant Companion is a combined Shin-Ei FY-2 Companion Fuzz and FY-6 Superfuzz clone in a smaller enclosure then the original Companion Fuzz. We've been planning this one for a while, and are very proud of the result. We measured the last Shin-Ei (actually Kimbara branded) FY-2 to pass through our doors and got these new enclosures professionally fabricated to the same dimensions. They've improved upon the vintage boxes by using 1.2mm steel (still not heavy, but no longer bendy!) welding the joins, and using threaded inserts for the side screws. The enclosures are powder coated for a hard-wearing finish, and the classy 'Super Unpleasant Companion' name plates have also been professionally manufactured. The circuit is a faithful reproduction of both the FY-2 companion fuzz and FY-6 Superfuzz. Choose either with the big toggle switch and the controls are: FY-2: Fuzztone, Volume (little switch does nothing) FY-6: Gain/Sustain, Volume, tone switch The pedals have a Boss-type 9V DC jack, center-negative the same as Boss, MXR, new Electro Harmonix and most pedal brands. Works with daisy-chained adapters and 'power bank' type things.
