Jesus & Mary Chain's Shin Ei Fuzz Wah

timhulio

I poasted this over at Shortscale, but reckon it's up youse guys street as well.

I've got two of these guys here, so I shot a quick demo. The work I did on them was thus: adding two millenium bypass circuits with LEDs so they'd know when the wahs were on, and added a DC socket to one of them. Stop watching at 6mins if you don't want to see stuff about the Fredric Super Unpleasant Companion!

My ears are bleeding! \m/ Some very harsh fuzz going on there. Are the Shin-ei pedals not expensive collector's items now? Interesting they are still gigging ( and modding) them.

Not my bag - each to their own, but those Shin Ei things just sounds like something has gone wrong with either the amp or the pedal...

I like 'em.  

Nice work, @timhulio. Thank you.

all I can hear are clattering strings and a muffled noise. 

for demo purposes I think it would help your cause to mike up your amp some distance away from your guitar.

I've binned so many Shin -Ei pedals in the past that I bought at car boots in the '80s. Used to pick them up for a couple of quid, abuse them and then bin them in my teens.

No, you can hear the sound of the pedals quite clearly. I think you're just being an obnoxious prick as usual.

Surley if he was being obnoxious, he'd of mentioned needing a tuner?

No you cant, you really can't, I managed to catch the several bummed notes and badly played passages but it was mainly drowned out by the clattering of the strings. You might want to think about using a tuner before a demo as well. 

I really do wonder how you manage to shift "boutique" pedals when your hearing appears to be so impaired. I guess its a good thing all you do is copy others work and stick it in a different sized box eh?

To be fair you are such an arrogant arse wipe I dont think helpful criticism would sink through that thick, lead lined head of yours.

It's like reading the first draft for Mean Girls.

Yep, a real piece of work.

I can see how it could sound great in context of band.
