The Fredric Effects Unpleasant Companion This is a faithful recreation of the Shin-Ei FY-2 Companion Fuzz, modified with a volume boost circuit to avoid the volume drop characteristic of vintage units. The Unpleasant Companion lives up to its name, and is a harsh transistor fuzz unlike any other! Now available in two versions! 1. The 'original' - which is a vintage FY-2 clone just boosted to modern levels. 2. The 'modified' or 'Really Unpleasant Companion' - which chucks out the Shin-Ei tone circuit and subsititues the more versatile tone control from the EH Big Muff. Boffins may gaze at the circuit diagram here . This auction is for 1. The 'original' boosted FY-2, with black knobs. Watch the video below to compare the two versions and decide which you like best. New video, 'scuse the focus! Small, MXR-sized enclosure professionally finished in custard yellow with scary Tengu graphic. All parts are the best quality available. Neutrik jacks. True bypass via Alpha or Cliff footswitch, powered by battery or standard center-neg DC jack, clear red LED. Famously used by Colin Greenwood of Radiohead and Graham Coxon.
