Shin-Ei Companion FY-6 Super Fuzz
Brand: Shaftsbury
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).
Serviced, in excellent working order and sounding stunning. 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.
This one has lost it's badge - it may well have been a "Companion" or one of the other numerous re-badged versions that Shin-ei made, at least some of which had this identical case (e.g. the Jax FY-6 Fuzz Master, Mayfair Model No. 9540 Super Fuzz and Teisco TF-1 Fuzz to name three - if you want a full run down then the effectsdatabase Shin-ei FY-6 page is the place).

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.
Aside from the missing badge it is in good, clean condition with just a few dings and some wear to the edges of the case.

"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.”

“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."
