I want one of these so hard... kind of wish you hadn't reminded me.
Shin-Ei fuzz + noise-makers... ummm... YES.

Think of the wah as a tone control and you won't be disappointed, just don't try to think of it as a real Shaft!/Voodoo Chlld kinda wah (it's got a kinda transfomer rather than a proper inductor, like all the 70s Japanese wahs I've seen so far -- Shin-ei / Roland / Ibanez and all the variants).
But the jewel in there is that Shin-ei built the Univox Super-fuzz, and that's exactly what's in there --- FY6 Super-Fuzz. That's a great, great fuzz.
The siren thing is kinda fun, and wacky and all, but that fuzzwah is the biz.
Yeah this hits it on the head. I have a Shin-Ei wah/fuzz and it sounds fucking incredible. The wah is horrendous though, so buy it for the super fuzz circuit. The fact that the input/output is on the top and reversed is annoying...
...thinking about rehousing it as we speak, let you know how that goes.
they're up in the sell/trade section. Awesome pedals...
