I A/B'd it with my original Shin Ei fuzz and it's 99.9% the same sound. In fact, a little better, in that it's a touch "fatter" and less acidic sounding when playing chords :thu:
Thanks for the kind words, I tried to keep to the original Shin Ei unit with the 'Companion'......rather then giving it to the builders instinct to tweak and mod!
Would love to see a AB video with another original if you ever have time!
