univox superfuzz by shin-ei- hey now that is a cool fuzztone

this is one of the classic pedals. reputedly used by pete townshend of the who during the legendary 'live at leeds' era.
this one is missing its logo badge, but the tone is all there. these were always true bypass pedals. it came to me dead, but after putting in new capacitors and some other tuning up, it now works like a dream. my telecaster has 'normal' output pickups, the pedal is more gnarly with humbuckers of course. get out your SG or les paul and rock out!

yeh pete used the univox but he did turn it on and off and also used his volume control to attenuaite and tame the insane buzz saw type fuzz that the pedals used to kick out,just watch any old clip of pete,isle of wight 1970 is good example..

That fuzz sounds amazing, great noodling too. So are these actually fuzz and octave pedals or does it just generate an octave-like sound?

[San5a]

you know how pete use it? I mean he still kept it on or sometimes switched it off during a song? I ask this because I thought he controlled the volume only by using his pots....
