PEDALS (LEGENDS OF FUZZ) SUPREME - 1972 JAPAN FUZZ

In the late 1960s, Japan was bursting at the seams with amazing guitar pedal companies and innovations. One of the most sought-after effects from this time and place is the Univox Super-Fuzz. This effect is an octave fuzz that turns any note or chord into a thick and searing texture. Playing a high octave up alongside the distorted note, this is an effect that demands your attention. First produced inside of a large amp head-sized multi-effect unit called the Honey Psychedelic Machine (1967) and then re-released a few months later as a standalone pedal called the Honey Baby Crying Effect. Honey soon became Shin-Ei and by 1968 Shin-Ei became the guitar pedal powerhouse of Japan, making Shin-Ei branded effects as well as producing those same circuits for dozens of brands like Shaftesbury, Kent, Crown, Jax, and America's Univox. This circuit found its way into the lineup of brands all over the world.
