Description: Description Complete reproduction of Shin Ei FY-2 +α. A primitive fuzz sound that disturbs your mind. First, some advice. This is not "Jimi Hendrix fuzz" at all! Manufactured by Japan's Shin Ei in the late 60's and 70's, the FY-2 is a mysterious and rare fuzz device. It is also known for being used by people such as Colin Greenwood (Radiohead), Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys), and William Reid (Jesus and Mary Chain), and has a unique character that does not belong to any part of the fuzz lineage that continues to the present day. The Bee Box faithfully reproduces the raw and gory tone of the Shin-Ei FY-2. The wild fuzz sound that stirs the depths of your heart is sure to be highly appreciated in the modern scene. In addition to the "BEE" mode that perfectly reproduces the original machine, it also features Manlay Sound's unique interpretation of "BAA" mode. By adding a thick midrange, you can access a "Just like honey" sound. ■Product features -Uses high quality components including NOS C536 transistors ●Fuzz knob that functions like a mild tone shaper. ●Volume to adjust the overall volume. ●Can switch between BEE mode, which reproduces the original, and BAA mode, which pushes the middle. ● Operates with a 9V battery or 9VDC center negative power supply. ●LED indicator ●True bypass ●Custom-made enclosure that inherited the characteristic atmosphere of the 1960s One-point technical explanation Distortion is created by using two silicon transistors and performing large amplification. The input signal is connected to the base terminal of the transistor via a coupling capacitor, and the emitter terminal beyond that is directly grounded. If you look at it partially, it looks like a clipping diode is connected to the input terminal, and there is already an element of distortion at the input stage, so it is a characteristic of a fuzz circuit that does not care about the original signal type. Since the bias point is shifted extremely, the vertical symmetry of the waveform will be disrupted. Furthermore, the bias point of the second stage amplifier circuit is also not proper, and the symmetry is greatly disrupted here as well, creating characteristic distortion. Then, by passing it through a filter circuit, it creates a tone with a large cut in the mids. A buffer is added to the output to fully support powerful filter circuits. In BAA mode, the tone circuit is modified and midrange is added. It is surprisingly easy to control with picking, and the expressive lead play that has a sexy nuance similar to tenor/alto saxophone is also attractive. *The image is a sample. ◆Condition: S: New ◆Accessories: Box Payment Please pay within 4 days after purchase.
