An immaculate boxed example of the gloriously filthy Fredric Effects Deeply Unpleasant Companion MkII.
Following requests from bass players, we modified this circuit to preserve more of the low frequencies and added a clean blend function. So you can mix the clean signal with the fuzz according to taste. The buffers used in the blend circuit also have the added bonus of bringing a touch more clarity to the fuzz than the standard Unpleasant Companion, while retaining its uncompromising character! Like the Unpleasant Companion, this pedal also features a volume boost circuit to avoid the volume drop characteristic of vintage Shin-Ei FY-2 pedals. Although designed with the bass player in mind, this pedal also sounds great on electric guitar - especially when used with distortions and overdrives.
The MkII Deeply Unpleasant Companion adds gain, tone and mid-scoop controls. Below these are a series of push-buttons to allow the tone and blend circuits to be bypassed completely, along with a further button to switch the order of the tone and scoop circuits. The result of which is a truly versatile fuzz with endless opportunities for sonic experimentation.
