MAY FAIR 9540 (Shin-ei Super Fuzz FY-6)
Brand: Shin-ei
Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).
Near mint example of a re-badged 60s Shin-ei Super Fuzz FY-6.
For sale serviced, in excellent working order and sounding stunning.
Condition is really near mint - it's clearly never been stomped on in anger; it has just a few small chips to the finish on the corners and edges. Comes in it's original polystyrene box.
This is the circuit that launched a thousand fuzzes - possibly most famously from Univox, but it was re-badged or licensed many times, not to mention supplying plenty of inspiration for the Roland BeeBaa and Fender Blender, and not to mention the near identical Ibanez Standard Fuzz.
The name is really irrelevant - Master Control, Duo Fuzz or Super Fuzz - the sound is what counts: it's basically two very different shades of monstrous filth - ripping chainsaw fuzz or brutal octave-ish wildness.
Integral to the tone of a list as long as your arm of guitar icons (check the Wikipedia Univox Super Fuzz page) - if you don't yet have one of these in your fuzz arsenal then this is a great example.
For sales in UK/EU the price will include VAT. VAT-free sales are possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside the UK) with a valid VAT Number - please get in touch if you wish to buy this way.

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."
DAVID WRENCH
“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”
TOM JOHNSTON
Fantastic. From initial contact to the product landing at my door the service provided was outstanding. Safe and secure shipping, quality serviced product.

"Finally, a company that tracks down all those brilliant curiosities that bring so much character and personality to a studio."
JOSH LLOYD-WATSON & TOM MCFARLAND - JUNGLE
“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
