The Internal Boost Circuit

The original Shin-ei FY-2 had a severe problem with volume drop. Even with

the "VOL" control set to the maximum position, the output volume of the effect

was far lower than the input volume. This left guitar players scrambling to kick

up the volume of their amp when the effect was engaged, or to come up with

creative ways of combining boost and switching pedals to allow them to use

the FY-2 without a sudden drop in volume.

The Wattson FY-2 Fuzz addresses this problem with the addition of a clean

boost stage after the fuzz circuit. When enabled, the boost stage increases the

level of the signal by about 3.5 times, bringing it up to a level you'd expect from

a fuzz pedal.

If you are using the FY-2 Fuzz as a replacement for a vintage Shin-ei pedal

then you might not want the boost circuit enabled, since you've probably

already accomodated the lower volume with other gear on your pedal board.

We've added a bypass switch to the internal circuit board that allows you to

disable the boost circuit, and allow the FY-2 Fuzz to operate with the same

output volume as an original Shin-ei pedal.

To turn the boost stage off (or on, if you've already turned it off) you'll need to

open the enclosure.

Remove the four screws which attach the top of the case to the bottom. There

are two screws in the front of the case, and two screws in the back. Carefully

lift the top of the case from the bottom, being careful of the wires which are

connected between the two halves.

The boost bypass switch is located on the

circuit board, as indicated.
