“I’m essentially trying to sell you pedals at this point, so you can switch off now if you want.” Wow, that was awesome. I think you sold a pedal as a result.
I was given one of these pedals mint in the box along with an early Big Muff 25 years ago as a hand-me-down from my uncle. Have cherished them through the years and still have the fuzz in good condition. The wah is pretty poor but the fuzz is great on single notes and riffs. Chords get really muddy fast, but J&MC make it sound great.
The first time I saw Jesus and Mary chain was 2018 with tobacco and NIN. Was able to sing along halfway through set. They played reverence and I wanted this pedal ever since
A great pedal that react very well to the guitar tone and volume pots ( not mentionned in this video) allowing many sounds adjustments... Super with bass also
Cool! Lots of similarities with my Ibanez fuzz soundwise and controlwise. I always thought that pedal sounded great for Phyco Candy stuff. Love those ringing overtones, almost like a octave fuzz.
I agree with this! I have been getting into TJMC much more lately and sculpting my noise tone and found that the MXR Distortion Plus can get somewhat fuzzy too. I stack the two of them (MXR Distortion Plus -> Ibanez Mini Fuzz) and I can get a really sick tone!
try your wah AFTER the fuzz. sounds way cooler that way..you can get those super hi-treble tones like JAMC or dino jr. it rules. it's like having a hi res filter after your fuzz as opposed to filtered guitar signals into a fuzz box..which just isn't as fun.

@@timhulio1 Thanks a million, Tim! Didn't know about the 2Tr. I have 2 8Tr's that I love but that now need a bunch of TLC. Wondered if I could get an authentic update to the sound in a smaller, less unwieldy, AC-powered unit.
@@SprunkCovers The Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz is actually a clone of the Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz and not the Shin ei / Univox Super Fuzz, despite having the name Super Fuzz.
I've never seen any proof of the FY-2 claim. The real confusion is whether it was the 6-TR which has no octave effect, or the 8-tr which is the full superfuzz with octave effect.
Thanks for sharing. And also thanks for sounding exactly like Nigel Tufnel. :)

Heard J&MC live in North Carolina back in the 80's was awesome. Nothing like their sound.
I hope you kept the box as you can get quite a bit for this pedal with the box now.
Such fantastic fuzz's! Love them they sound like chainsaws the ol Shin Ei
Psychocandy - what a yummy LP!!!

That's a rarity anymore

@@KyOlsen cool, never tried an Ibanez mini fuzz. Mine is a vintage Ibanez Wau Fuzz, it's wonky as hell but sound really nasty!
@@jozefaubainmarie5410 Cool! I'll have to look one of those up.
ide buy this for the fuzz only
Thanks for sharing this!
Listening to it right now
YES!!!
5:19 when i tell my dog its time for a bath
they're William Reid's ACTUAL pedals?
Yes that's right. See them perform Psychocandy with these actual pedals later this year.

:o !!!
@@timhulio1 The Barrowlands gigs?
Just bought your Fredric Super unpleasant. Love it. To replicate the Fuzz wah, would you suggest the wah after the fuzz or before?
I go fuzz after wah.

howly cheese crust
mine sounds nastier than that... well.. it did... doesn't work anymore.. :'(
Sounds a lot like Big Muff Pi.
Have a gcb95 crybaby attached before the SUC, not sure I like the sound too much tbh.

*wah
Is that a teisco or a harmony?
Sounds terrible. I love it! 😂
In the fuzz-wah circuit, does the wah circuit come before or after the fuzz circuit?
It comes after the fuzz.
So in principle, a wah following the SUC in the TY-6 mode would make for a fairly accurate replication of the Shin-Ei 8Tr sound?
@@TimRobishaw Yes. And if you want to be extra authentic you could try to track down a Shin-Ei 2Tr wah, which can sometimes be found quite cheaply.

Any good cheap alternatives to this pedal lol?
Sam Drury a Behringer Super Fuzz, no joke, because it is a clone of the Superfuzz too

@Beeg I really thought the FZ-2 and the Behringer Super Fuzz were the same circuit as the Tr6... None the less. They all sound good! :D
JHS Supreme
I'm confused, I thought J&MC used the FY2 (rather than FY6), or is that just for Psychocandy era?
he used the 70's wah and the 60's FY-2 for Psychocandy
to be fair the fy2 and the fy6 sound very different from each other,so it would be good to use them for different sounds!
@@robertmarron138 Which one was broken?
I've never seen any proof of the FY-2 claim. The real confusion is whether it was the 6-TR which has no octave effect, or the 8-tr which is the full superfuzz with octave effect.
@@replaceablehead After getting a few/bunch of different versions, I believe it's the 8-TR Shin Ei Fuzz. Incredible sound. (just my 2 cents)
can you use the wah witout the fuzz engaged?
Yes. It's not a great sounding wah, however.
Chords always sound muddy whenever I use any kind of super fuzz variant, how tf did the JaMC play chords?
Maybe with volume knob turned down on guitar ( it cleans up.a bit) and using spring reverb to soften the harshness. My two cents.
