Title: Danelectro Fab Echo Mod?
Post by: Young_Lions on February 14, 2007, 10:13:10 AM
First off, Hello All.
Hey does anybody know how to get a warmer tone out of one of those Daelectro Fab Echo pedals?

Thanks.

I replaced the input DC blocking cap with a 0.1 uf (stock is 0.047 uf). I think it's labeled as C103 on the board, but eitherway, it's just next to the input jack. This lets much more bass through, and really warmed up my tone (I play blues harp though, not guitar)...

I put up a post about doing all the "standard" mods with lots of pictures.  Standard meaning adjustable delay time, infinite repeats, and maximum wet signal mix level.  Nothing there about making it sound "warmer," but I thought the tone was okay as-is.  You could also look for a schematic of either the Fab Echo or the Rebote delay series from tonepad.  They are similar, and there's a bit of lowpass filtering (treble roll-off) on the repeated signal.  You could increase the filtering by making the cap bigger on that section.
