One such is this, the Shin-Ei Companion 6TR Fuzz Wah. Shin-Ei started as Honey, with that name being a little more obscure to the casual effects fan, but just as important. Honey released several ultra-expensive units such as the Special Fuzz, Psychedelic Machine and Resly Tone [sic].

The fuzz that came from this era was characterized by harsh, biting timbre that immediately made its presence felt.

2 3 Next picker by picker » 13 Jul 2009, 16:21 Way back in 1971, I bought a combination fuzz/wah pedal at a local music store. The manufacturer name on it was Jax, but I have since found out it was made by Shin-Ei of Japan. This is a picture of the side panel showing the fuzz: The wah was okay for what it was, but the fuzz was quite something.

Slight thread resurrection. I'm currently repairing an ELK Fuzz Wah. Big silver case. I have a MICA branded version too. The latter is a six transistor circuit (and seems common in this OEM Shin Ei derived fuzz under many brands). However to my surprise the ELK has a Maxon PCB with only 5 transistors, two of which are power on the wah half of.

The schematic there will show you a one transistor clean boost tacked onto the end of the circuit. I've had this on my breadboard messing with other things and found that a boost before the circuit adds undesirable color to the sound. I've yet to get back to the breadboard to put one behind it to observe it, firsthand.

From top to bottom the wiring should be Balance 2, 3, 1. Not sure which schematic was used for the layout but it seems to be more similar to the Superfuzz and not the 8TR schematic that I was able to find online although the differences appear to be minor. Loads of saturation and volume on tap! Thanks for putting these layouts together.

Shin Ei 6TR Fuzz Wah. This is a very cool and underrated offering from the king of nasty vintage fuzz. This one is Kent branded but has the shin-ei stamp inside. It is widely known that the wah in these is less than desired. This is definitely not a funk machine and you will not channel your inner Hendrix here, but the fuzz really makes up for.

Here's the schematic with the mids control: I've always wired up the Fuzz control as in the first schematic, Fuzz Rite style. Wired this way it allows the stock buzz to pierce through or for a much more muffled tone. The FY-2 is known for low output. I think it gets loud enough, but it never "boosts".

Shin-ei's circuitry resulted in a cool octave fuzz, square-clipping the sound wave, then rectifying it, creating upper and lower octaves.

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).
