SHIN-EI: Companion Fuzz FY-2

A classic Japanese guitar effect - the Shin-Ei Companion Fuzz - it has its roots in the Fuzzrite, with a notch filter at the output.

Usual notch filter response.



It's a fairly broken-looking wave - not the infamous volume drop compared to the input level, which is normally fixed by adding a gain recovery stage.
