Fredric Effects Announce the Deeply Unpleasant Companion Bass Fuzz Pedal
Fredric Effects have introduced the Deeply Unpleasant Companion, a bass fuzz pedal that builds upon the Shin-Ei FY-2 Companion Fuzz. The new model has a modified circuit to preserve more low end frequencies, plus a new clean blend function for mixing your direct signal with the dirty signal.
The pedal also has a volume boost circuit to avoid volume drop found in vintage Shin-Ei FY-2 pedals. Other features include a custom powder coated enclosure, PCB construction, Cliff jacks, and an Alpha footswitch and pots.
The Fredric Effects Deeply Unpleasant Companion is handmade. It’s available now for approximately $145.

Kind of annoying but okay if that’s your thing , not me I like a deep smooth growling bass.
Agreed – aptly named pedal. But each to their own!
Reminds me of a dirtier take on the sound Chris Wholstenholme uses a lot at the beginning. I really like this pedals sound man, definitely has a place in a rock bassists arsenal imo!
