Shin-Ei Jax Super-Fuzz Fuzz Wah 8PTR

[@randyhollandsworth626]

100% The Jesus and Mary Chain - TONE 2 + a hell a lot of Feedback.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

hell yeah!

[@maxnorton4893]

My favorite fuzz circuit by far. I've always wanted one Superfuzz wah, but with a Tycobrahe wah.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

that would be so cool!

[@ethermod307]

Hi Jason, the superfuzz is famous also from Jesus & Mary Chain. They used it in their legendary shoegaze Psychocandy album. The FU-2 sounds even better in my opinion, so much tone! Is there a way to get a distribution in Europe for your pedals? It'd amazing.

[@leiferickson3183]

Pete Townshend used a Univox Super-Fuzz back in the 60's. That was my first pedal build on perf board back in the 90's.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

that is badass you made one Leif!

[@jamesroberts3635]

Awesome demo! This was my first guitar pedal; I got it for free with an amp and guitar purchase in the early ‘90s. I used it for years on guitar and bass and most of my band mates hated it. It wasn’t “modern” sounding for the metal or heavy blues rock of the time. I’ll always take a Superfuzz circuit fuzz over anything else.

[@needles23]

A famous use of (an apparently defective) Shin-Ei Fuzz Wah was by The Jesus and Mary Chain on their first album PsychoCandy. Awesome album, and the sound of my youth.

[@nessearthbound3107]

Truly great album, spawned the entire genre of shoegaze!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

jamming it right now John cheers!

[@An.D]

Great jam guys ✌️👍

[@FuzzlordEffects]

thank you Andy! Really having fun jamming with Eric

[@epiphonium]

Yeah man !

[@mistershabadoo]

This is gorgeous! So often, wah and fuzz don’t get along. It’s magic when they can meet. Killer tones and great riffs! Mode two is just CrUsHiNg!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

mode 2 is so good!

[@effel651997]

Eric on drums is the greatest thing ever also that shirt you're wearing is awesome! Where can I get it?

[@mistershabadoo]

Lakush; California dispensary

[@joelacina386]

I love the dark tones!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Cheers Joe!

[@josephguillermo3007]

Damn, this sounds great. Soon you sound make a Fuzzlord fuzz wah.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

keep your eyes on the pages we are working on something (:

[@louderthangod]

@@FuzzlordEffects If you recreate this I’m 1000% in. Please just don’t make it so limited that they sell out in 30 seconds and are on Reverb in an hour for 4x the price.

[@crackedspyglass]

9:20 depends on the circuit. FZ and FU-2 both sound better before the wah, but big muffs sound better after.

[@dennismoes7281]

I want this one. I have the FY-2 companion version of it, the FY-2 and the FY-6 so this would complete that part of the collection

[@FuzzlordEffects]

gotta get em all!

[@larrytownley2231]

I like them both, in special occasions there quite handy,but it

[@asherplatts6253]

That fuzz sounds MASSIVE

[@baileywatts1304]

This is it! The first pedal I ever made as a project with my dad back in the teen years. I know one is in the arsenal of Yo La Tengo. Not implying they use the one I made just that they know what's up

[@FuzzlordEffects]

thats awesome you and your Dad made one!

[@patroniconadon3777]

Mark Arm of Mudhoney definitely used a Univox Super-Fuzz (Mudhoney Big Muff/Super Fuzz Era. Also, I believe Munehiro Narita of High Rise used the Shin-Ei Fuzz Wah. He for sure used a Fuzz Wah of some type. Just ordered a (Dead) fx I Can't Feel My Face Super-Fuzz. Also, just ordered a Void Master from the Fuzz Lord website. I'm thinking they will play nicely together and I am eagerly awaiting their arrival.

[@jessek.beauchamp1356]

I used to have an Acetone fuzz wah with the super fuzz circuit. No true bypass. Wah sucked but the fuzz was gnarly. $60 Daddy's Junky Music.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Badass pedal Jesse!

[@epiphonium]

I had one of those and unfortunately got rid of it. I still have my Foxx Fuzz Wa tho

[@epiphonium]

I replaced the rubber tread with green astroturf so if you see it anywhere you know where it came from.

[@josephguillermo3007]

Mode two is just beautifully brutal. I love it.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

its so good!

[@Hellbilly1969]

It's a great classic bit of kit. However I preferred the FU2, as a lot clearer.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Cheers Kie thanks for watching!

[@Numocron]

Wow Jason this is such an awesome fuzz pedal I love it. :)

[@FuzzlordEffects]

thanks man!

[@Numocron]

@@FuzzlordEffects You're very welcome. Much love.

[@phantomspcmn]

What a cool pedal! Sounds great

[@FuzzlordEffects]

thanks man!

[@chriscurran1967]

Great video Jason!!! I liked the sound of the fuzz wah, but if I’m being honest, your pedal sounded better to me. I had a wah pedal years ago, but I just didn’t get real into using it. They do sound cool in the right place though. Keep up the great work man!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@jamesswift580]

dude the FU-2 sounds killer, it's got less of that high end hiss. I thought I didnt need another superfuzz-style circuit but maybe I do 👀

[@FuzzlordEffects]

Cheers James and thanks for watching!

[@denverrandy7143]

Wow,especially "mode 2" is Raunchy in the best possible way.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

my favorite mode!

[@TheChadPad]

God that's nasty. I love the mid range that your FU-2 has compared to the old fuzz wah. It has a lot more definition and a crushing low end. Still, gotta love that nasty spitiness of the old bastard. Can you believe they had such a sound in the 70s??

[@adamr2684]

When ya making one???

[@jaybirdgenetics]

That thing kicks ass

[@FuzzlordEffects]

cheers!

[@ScreaminT81]

Yeah mode 2 is crushing!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

hell yeah!

[@Tehstroyer]

I see Eric having some fun behind the kit there :D

[@FuzzlordEffects]

man he is so good! Really making renting the extra space worth it

[@MrGREYMATTERS]

In a word, BRUTAL!!!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

cheers Henry!

[@wyattonline]

A terrific reminder of one of the great Ancient Ones. I prefer the FU-2's fuzz tone, however. Using my ears (no proof), I think the band DÖ uses something like a Super Fuzz device for much of their tone. Watching from Killeen TX, a little North of Austin.

[@howardgilbert5008]

I prefer the FU-2. I dig the darker sound.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

thanks Howard!

[@generalleigh7387]

I could tell the wah was before fuzz in the circuit and I wonder if it sounds bad the other way which is what i prefer. Germanium or silicon?

[@taylormoon3561]

Super cool pedal, but I’m not sure I’m into the wah. I’d rather just use a separate wah and have the fuzz in a smaller enclosure. It sounds kinda like the boss hyper fuzz, and the schematics don’t seem dissimilar, is there a relation?

[@denverrandy7143]

I'm trying to choose between the HM--6 or the FU-2...want them both.But,which one first.lol

[@FuzzlordEffects]

tough choice! I think the HM-6 is a little more versatile but both rad pedals!

[@nessearthbound3107]

This pedal is super cool! One question: can you get the 'in-between' sound when you put the fuzz mode switch in the middle, like the Behringer Super Fuzz?

[@FuzzlordEffects]

great question! I assume so but did not try it

[@MrGREYMATTERS]

In comparison, they match in HEAVINESS but have their individual voice. I would say the Super Fuzz has more forward presence, brighter character.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

totally! I think I had the FU-2 set really dark listening in room instead of using headphones like I should. Damn that amp setup is loud haha!

[@JoseFPepeM]

What guitar is that and where can I find a lefty one?

[@FuzzlordEffects]

First Act Custom Shop DC-6

[@thekavemann9771]

i think fu manchu uses the univox super fuzz

[@horse_dog]

On bass, fuzz into wah. On guitar, wah into fuzz

[@johnnytmcq]

I mean, Wata has a custom shin-ei Super Unpleasant Companion

[@larrytownley2231]

If I had to pick one ,it'd be the small one !!!cause you can always get a waw pedal !!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

good point!

[@larrytownley2231]

Looks like amorley !!

[@FuzzlordEffects]

totally!

[@kenngrover4201]

" Of course my opinion is like , well I think you know the rest, anyway, it really sounds cloudy, don't know if it's just because it's the way it sounds because of the mic picking it up that way " !!!

[@davidatyson]

Reminds me of an hm2

[@FuzzlordEffects]

nice!

[@KK4CNM]

The FU-2 sounds like liquid sonic pleasure dripping with honey

[@FuzzlordEffects]

thanks!

[@arick15372]

Fuck I’ve even seen doom bands use just a FUZZ FACTORY some fellows known as Bull Market got a decent chainsaw tone

[@FuzzlordEffects]

hell yeah!

[@jaybirdgoody]

totally different vibe but Tom Brenneck of the Budos Band and a bunch of different funk bands

[@voidburner8271]

My neighbor has one of these. I was always curious because I see them go for 500-1000+ any day of the week...figured there must be some kind of magic to them. Tried it out and honestly, to me, it just sounded like a cheap fuzz with a dooky sounding wah.. i'm happy with my xotic wah and various fuzz selections.

[@FuzzlordEffects]

A Model T car probably seems a bit out dated compared to a Tesla haha

[@voidburner8271]

@@FuzzlordEffects haha 😛
