Fredric Effects Announces the Nouveau Super Unpleasant Companion

Fredric Effects Announces the Nouveau Super Unpleasant Companion

A newly designed two-in-one pedal that combines the FY-2 Companion Fuzz and the FY-6 Superfuzz.

North London (November 27, 2019) -- The Fredric Effects Nouveau Super Unpleasant Companion combines the FY-2 Companion Fuzz and FY-6 Superfuzz circuits in our newly designed custom enclosure. The Classic Super Unpleasant Companion has been a great success for Fredric Effects, in both the original black enclosures and the special edition white version sold exclusively by Regent Sounds in London.

Now we've launched the Nouveau Super Unpleasant Companion which will run alongside the Classic. It's the same circuit, but features a smaller enclosure, top-mounted jacks and the controls on the front where they're easier to get at! The FY-2 fuzz is a waspy, buzzy fuzz unlike any other. The FY-6 has two distinct fuzz tones-a crunchy garagey sound and a massive doomy, scooped wall-of-fuzz sound. It has some nice octave/ring mod tones in there too.
