The schematic there will show you a one transistor clean boost tacked onto the end of the circuit. I've had this on my breadboard messing with other things and found that a boost before the circuit adds undesirable color to the sound. I've yet to get back to the breadboard to put one behind it to observe it, firsthand.

From top to bottom the wiring should be Balance 2, 3, 1. Not sure which schematic was used for the layout but it seems to be more similar to the Superfuzz and not the 8TR schematic that I was able to find online although the differences appear to be minor. Loads of saturation and volume on tap! Thanks for putting these layouts together.

One such is this, the Shin-Ei Companion 6TR Fuzz Wah. Shin-Ei started as Honey, with that name being a little more obscure to the casual effects fan, but just as important. Honey released several ultra-expensive units such as the Special Fuzz, Psychedelic Machine and Resly Tone [sic].

This one has lost it's badge - it may well have been a "Companion" or one of the other numerous re-badged versions that Shin-ei made, at least some of which had this identical case (e.g. the Jax FY-6 Fuzz Master, Mayfair Model No. 9540 Super Fuzz and Teisco TF-1 Fuzz to name three - if you want a full run down then the effectsdatabase Shin-ei FY-6 page is the place).

These transistors began showing up in Shin-Ei's pedals including the Uni-Vibe, Super Fuzz and Companion. For those of you who care about that sort of thing, the part number was 2SC828. The fuzz that came from this era was characterized by harsh, biting timbre that immediately made its presence felt.

Shin Ei 6TR Fuzz Wah. This is a very cool and underrated offering from the king of nasty vintage fuzz. This one is Kent branded but has the shin-ei stamp inside. It is widely known that the wah in these is less than desired. This is definitely not a funk machine and you will not channel your inner Hendrix here, but the fuzz really makes up for.

Shin-Ei FY2 Companion Fuzz with post-boost Fuzz Really skanky vintage fuzz tones. Fizzy, splattery, over-the-top and gloriously nasty. The original circuit has a less than earthshattering output level, so this version has an added LPB post-boost to make everything go up to eleven. Includes pads so you can easily add the mids-scoop pot mod. The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which.

Slight thread resurrection. I'm currently repairing an ELK Fuzz Wah. Big silver case. I have a MICA branded version too. The latter is a six transistor circuit (and seems common in this OEM Shin Ei derived fuzz under many brands). However to my surprise the ELK has a Maxon PCB with only 5 transistors, two of which are power on the wah half of.

Here's the schematic with the mids control: I've always wired up the Fuzz control as in the first schematic, Fuzz Rite style. Wired this way it allows the stock buzz to pierce through or for a much more muffled tone. The FY-2 is known for low output. I think it gets loud enough, but it never "boosts".
