Shin-ei Companion FY-2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

The Shin-ei Companion FY-2 is a discontinued fuzz pedal, made by the Japanese Shin-ei effects pedal company from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. The pedal is known for its raw, distinctive, gated fuzz. FY-2 pedals are now rare.

Different versions were made, most using silicon transistors and having a mid-cutting tone circuit that lowered the volume. An earlier, rarer, version used germanium transistors, which did not have the tone circuit, and therefore had a louder output. The sound from this version is very rich, fluid and thick. [citation needed]

The pedal has two knobs:

  • "Volume" (controls overall level)
  • "Fuzz" (tone)
