I got this unit in next to a French Fries for a rehouse......... and decided to trace it. All SMD :)

When I plugged it in to listen to it like this it reminded me a lot of another Danelectro pedal....... could this be a........

Fab Tone????

Yes; it is! Small changes though (I can't say anything on the caps as most of this SMD does not have any markings)

- Output section is different
- The last opamp is used (on the original it was not used and held high)
- C12 is flipped
- No gain potmeter; gain is set to max!!

P1 = bass
P2 = treble
P3 = Volume
