Hey there,
I got myself a second hand FAB echo for £10 and am looking to rehouse it, along with a couple mods (namely self osc and delay time pot).

Now while the mods have been covered in a few threads I found on here and on the web, I haven't found any good information regarding the rehousing.

I'd like to get rid of the switching/buffer board all together like I did for a Danelectro Mini (French Toast), but to do so I'd need to know what each colour wire between the switching board and the effect board do (in, out, 9v, gnd etc). Has anyone figured this one out? I looked around on the web but haven't found anything about it. Any input would be warmly welcome!

Thanks,
Alex

Hey Petey, thanks for the reply. I had already read those threads and saw those schems, but unfortunately none of them answer my question.

Has anyone had luck in deciphering the colours/funtions on the ribbon wires?
