Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz Box FY-2
Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz Box FY-2
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).
Classic Japanese fuzz. Serviced and working well. Late 60s or early 70s.
Snarls and spits like a wildcat! Sounds absolutely monstrous - think Jack White, Black Keys, Radiohead...
The Shin-ei fuzzes were also famously-abused by eighties wall-of-noisemongers The Jesus And Mary Chain among many others, but they're capable of far more, creating some very classy 60's fuzz sounds.
Once-cheap, Japanese fuzzes from the 60s/70s have aged well and are now very sought-after.
Condition is good overall with signs of age - scratches on the front panel and case and wear to the corners. Click on the photos to zoom in.
Serviced and in good working order - no crackly pots or noisy switch issues.
(Please note: it is always possible with vintage equipment that some crackly pots/sliders may develop over time when equipment has not been used - even during shipping - this can usually be easily rectified either by use or with a bit of switch-cleaning spray)
Fitted with a battery and ready to play.

"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."

“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."

“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."
