Wiki description :

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. These had a mid-cutting tone circuit, which lowered the volume. An earlier, rarer, version used germanium transistors. These did not have the tone circuit, and therefore had a louder output. The sound from this version is very rich, fluid and thick. 

The pedal has two knobs:

  • "Volume" (controls overall level)
  • "Fuzz" (tone)

    Notable musicians who have used the FY-2 include:
  • Colin Greenwood of Radiohead, who used the pedal on "Exit Music (For a Film)" from the album OK Computer, and on "Myxomatosis" from Hail to the Thief.
  • Graham Coxon
  • Dan Auerbach
  • Stephen Morris of Joy Division and New Order
  • Ross Knight of Cosmic Psychos
  • Nick Tyler of Driveblind
  • Andrew Wilson of Die! Die! Die!
  • Christian Bland of The Black Angels
  • Ian Chestnutt of Percolator and Art Slug
  • Kevin Bayly of The Dance Party
  • William Reid of The Jesus and Mary Chain
