FEATURES

HISTORY/INFO

The Honey Co. Ltd. FY-6 "Baby Crying" effect was released in 1967. It was the very first incarnation of what was to become the "Super Fuzz". In 1968 Shin-ei branded each FY-6 with their own label.
This version (Branded "Astron"), features a stainless steel bottom with "Super Fuzz" printed on it as a tribute to the old days. Each unit is signed and numbered inside the bottom plate.
A matching numbered aluminum certificate of authenticity is also included.

SOUND

Using only the highest quality parts, we have duplicated the original electronic circuitry of the FY-6 and recreated its original magic. It is almost impossible to tell the difference between an original and our current unit. Each unit features NOS carbon comp resistors as well as the highest quality original design Matsushita/Panasonic transistors.

OPERATION

The unit is controlled by the Balance/Expander knobs and the slider switch (Tone 1 & 2) which are located on the left side of the unit.

DESIGN

The FY-6 Super Fuzz is a highly accurate reproduction of the original units made in 19687. From the original "Shin-ei" foil label to the recessed control area on its steel enclosure, the FY-6 is hardly detectable from an original unit.
