Description
The Bee Box is Manlay’s Sound take on the rare FY-2 Companion made by the Japanese company, Shin-ei, in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Let’s get things straight: this is not your Jimi fuzz. True to the FY-2’s character, the Bee Box has that distinctive, raw, and gated sound used by people like Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood, The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, or William Reid from Jesus and Mary Chain. Housed in a custom made enclosure that emulates the looks of the 60’s unit, the Bee Box stays true to Shin-ei’s circuit but with a few tweaks under the hood. The “fuzz” knob, just like in the original pedal, is more a mild tone shaper than the typical saturation control you find in most fuzzes. In order to compensate for this and its mid-scooped characteristic sound, we added a mod. BEE mode is the original sound of the Companion FY-2. BAA mode brings back some of the mids that are scooped out. Just like honey.
