The "Legends Of Fuzz'' series is a collection of the world's most historic, rare, and sought after circuits. 

In the late 1960’s, 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. 

Thanks to product placement by Pete Townshend of The Who, the Univox Unicord Super-Fuzz version found fame above all the rest. The controls are Volume and Expand. Volume makes the effect louder as you turn it and Expand increases the amount of fuzz. On the side you will see two buttons. The “Tone” button engages a mid cut that flattens out the Supreme’s attack and makes it more submissive. Think of this as a preset scooped mid EQ control. The “Mode” button activates the “JHS Mode” setting. You will hear a much more pronounced octave up effect, thicker mid-range, and more available volume/boost. 

If you want to replicate the classic octave fuzz sounds of Pete Townshend, Black Keys, White Stripes, Beastie Boys, and Mudhoney, this is it.
