Ease of Use
:
10
Early 70s vintage, as far as I can tell. It's extremely easy to use. It has the ability to do fuzz (hard or soft switchable), wah, or fuzz-wah together (extremely wierd sound). There are two knobs for volume and fuzz adjust. Just plug and play. 9v battery, no place for ACadapter, and I would drill a hole for one. It would ruin the "vintageness" of it.

The wah is one of the best I've heard. The fuzz is extremely cheesy, very 60s, sort of a Meastro wannabe, but with a distinctive buzz of its own. I've ued it with a Sovtek Mig-50 and a SS GK amp (add the GK chorus and it really goes into orbit). Wah pot and switches are quiet.

Very reliable, never failed me. Looks easy to work on, as long as the PC board is OK.

I odn;t know if Shin Ei supports this anymore (I think they made it, didn't they?)
Overall Rating

9
I mostly play blues, so I use the wah a lot. But onc ein a while I do psychodelic stuff and th efuzz is very cool for that. If it was stolen or lost, it might take me years to find another one and I'd have to pay an arm and a leg for it becsue they are so rare. I've seen lots of Sekova effects over the years, but this is the only Fuzz-Wah I have ever seen. I keep it under lock and key when I'm not using it. I'd love to hear from others who have this thing.
