Description

The Univox U-1095 Super-Fuzz is a legendary fuzzbox that has been utilized by countless influential bands throughout the years. It was produced by the Univox company, primarily for use with electric guitar or bass. The circuit was designed in the late 1960s by the Japanese company Honey, in the form of a multi-effect called the Honey Psychedelic Machine. Later on, Honey was taken on by Shin-ei, who produced the effect separately and imported it to the USA by Unicord.

Design:
- The first units were made in a simple stamped sheet metal box, painted grey, with a blue metal Univox sticker on the top. Around 1970, production was changed to a die-cast metal box, with a large pedal featuring a rubber cover that had the words "Super-Fuzz" embossed on it.
- The later models featured an internal trim pot for controlling the octave balance.
- The controls include 'Balance' (volume), 'Expander' (fuzz amount), a two- position 'tone' switch, and an on/off footswitch on top.

Sound:
- This fuzz is an octave fuzz using two germanium diodes to produce square wave clipping.
- The full-wave rectification of the circuit produces an upper octave as well as a slight lower octave, giving the sound a lot of compression and a mild ring modulator effect.
- It features a tone switch that engages a 1kHz filter that "scoops" the mids, giving a very fat, almost bassy tone unique to this circuit.

Notable musicians who have used the Super-Fuzz include Paul McCartney, Adam Yauch of Beastie Boys, Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, and Pete Townshend of The Who.

For these details, it is recommended to consult official Univox resources or contact authorized dealers.
