Compadre
Unleash the vintage fuzz tones of yesteryear with the Smitty Pedals Compadre! This pedal is a faithful recreation of the legendary Shin-ei FY-2 Companion Fuzz Box, capturing the iconic sound that graced the riffs of countless classic rock anthems. At the heart of the Compadre lies the coveted C536 transistors, which deliver a rich, harmonically-complex fuzz that can fatten up your tone and add a delightful grit. But Smitty Pedals didn't stop there – they've also included an adjustable midrange scoop filter, allowing you to sculpt your fuzz to sit perfectly in the mix. Crank the "Scoop" knob to carve out frequencies and make your lead lines cut through, or roll it back for a more full-bodied, vintage-inspired sound. Paired with the Fuzz control, the Compadre offers a wide range of fuzz tones, from smooth and creamy to downright snarling. And thanks to the added transparent boost stage, you'll have no shortage of output volume to drive your amp into glorious saturation. Whether you're channeling the psychedelic swagger of the 60s or the hard-hitting crunch of the 70s, the Smitty Pedals Compadre is a must-have for any guitarist seeking to unlock the secrets of legendary fuzz tones. Plug in, crank it up, and get ready to unleash your inner rock god!
