Shin-Ei FY2 Companion Fuzz with post-boost
Really skanky vintage fuzz tones. Fizzy, splattery, over-the-top and gloriously nasty.
The original circuit has a less than earthshattering output level, so this version has an added LPB post-boost to make everything go up to eleven.
Includes pads so you can easily add the mids-scoop pot mod.
The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs.
If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.
Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.
Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.
Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and can take a battery if desired with footswitch positioned 22mm higher, closer to the controls. Knobs are not included.
Builds are only available with full kits including enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.
