SHIN-EI: FY-2 Fuzz (Germanium Version)

This is the Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz's lesser-known, but earlier incarnation - which is confusingly also called a FY-2.  It's closer to a fuzz face than a fuzzrite, and there's no notch filter on the output.
More info on DIY Stomboxes via this thread.   It is said to be quite a monster fuzz...

Here's one made by Sean Spiller, of Spiller Instruments - Sean added some of his own touches, with carbon comp resistors and axial electrolytic caps, and it has been scaled up to 0.15" vero with additional mounting points added (if you aren't adding mounting points to your boards, you may want to think about this).
