I caught this post from Circuit Bent on modding a Danelectro FAB echo. That is where the video above comes from. They are pretty cool modded pedals though I would rather have the guts of the completely rehoused in a better non-cheap plastic enclosure. But that is just my personal preference.
This reminded I started to do this a while ago and got sided tracked by having entirely too many interests and be the scatter brained absent mind most of the time. The pedal got lost in the mists of time. I should finish it. It can be such a cool pedal.
The thing that is so attractive about the FAB Echo is they are so damn cheap & I got mine on sale. You can’t find a cheap platform to mod. It use a pretty common chip for echo pedals both DIY and commerical designs the PT2399. So, there is a knowledge base of what you can do with it(see links below.) You can bent it or add a lot to it or simply make it more than the slapback unit it was design to be. It can be a bit trick though with two boards cramemd into the plastic shell and SMD components.
