Shin-ei was the most prolific Japanese manufacturer of guitar effects in the 1970s and some of the utterly legendary effects boxes have their origin in the Shin-ei laboratories: the Uni-Vibe and the Uni-Fuzz, in the western world better known as the Univox Super Fuzz. Most of the Shin-ei products were sold under different brand names and even unbranded.
