The Shin-ei Companion FY-2 is a discontinued fuzz pedal, made by the Japanese Shin-ei effects pedal company from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. The pedal is known for its raw, distinctive, gated fuzz. FY-2 pedals are now rare. Different versions were made, most using silicon transistors.

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".

This is the Shin Ei FY-2, this is not the Shin Ei FY-6 which is the re-branded Super Fuzz. Again, this is not the Super Fuzz, but it is an awesome, raw, heavy fuzztone. Description from General Guitar Gadgets. Download Schematic More info from the Original Website (or PCB order)

These transistors began showing up in Shin-Ei's pedals including the Uni-Vibe, Super Fuzz and Companion. For those of you who care about that sort of thing, the part number was 2SC828. The fuzz that came from this era was characterized by harsh, biting timbre that immediately made its presence felt.

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.

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.

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.

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