Wattson Classic Electronics is a Hayward, California-based effects pedal builder founded in 2008. The company grew from a part-time garage operation run by two guitarists — Jim, the chief electronics engineer, and Chris on the creative side — into a full-time shop where circuit boards are soldered, assembled, and tested in-house. The brand focuses exclusively on modern reproductions of classic vintage effects, aiming to make the tones of hard-to-find 1960s and 1970s fuzz circuits accessible at lower prices than original units.

The catalog centers on fuzz pedals. The Classic Fuzz FY-2 reproduces the Shin-ei/Companion FY-2, while the Classic Fuzz FY-6 and EFY-6 recreate the Shin-ei/Univox Super-Fuzz, a circuit Wattson worked from by analyzing signal behavior in original units. Other pedals in the lineup include the Escape Velocity. Units are housed in 16-gauge steel chassis with a textured sandtex powdercoat intended to evoke the look of the originals.

Wattson pedals have circulated on pedalboards in the indie and alternative rock scenes, with members of Arctic Monkeys and Blur among the players associated with the brand's fuzz reproductions. The pedals are distributed through independent boutique retailers such as Analogue Haven and Mesa/Boogie Hollywood, as well as larger retailers and the secondhand market on Reverb.

Wattson Classic Electronics has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Fuzz Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 9 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock and Pop. Notable users include Alex Turner, Paul McCartney, and Graham Coxon.
