i played a danelectro fab metal distortion pedal and it was a serious complete waste of 15 dollars...........im guessing they cost that much for a reason........i you have the money id get eithe a boss ce-5 chorus ensemble,boss ceb-3 bass chorus, ehx clone theory, or ebs unichorus...but thats my favs so far



good luck though

or sell it for $10 and only lose $5

I've got the FAB metal, echo, and flange for my guitar setup. There's a reason why they sit in their boxes and never get used.

once again, it's only 15$ people, enough for maybe one meal

I like the Fab Echo for guitar (slap back echo) and I like the Fab Overdrive too. I dunno about the Chorus.

I'm not even sold on Chorus in general, on a bass. If you don't like it, you can sell it to a guitar player.

i modded a FAB echo for changable delay time and it makes a pretty sweet delay... the mod is simple as can be as well, you just replace one resistor with a pot... the only hard part is those SMD components... I had to scrape the resistor off with a screwdriver...

The FAB echo is in a morley wah housing right now, and there is a switch to go between expression pedal control of delay time to pot control of delay time, so I can use it as a normal delay if I wish... I also did a mod to let it self oscillate if I turn feedback up enough

The fab chorus sounds pretty good with guitar, but I don't know how it works with bass. I'm kind of with K2000, though. I'm not a fan of chorus on bass unless there is delay or reverb on there as well.

Danelectro's Cool Cat chorus is much better. On Guitar and Bass

That is for sure. 18VDC, though.

i used the fab on bass a few times and i think it does a great job at being a chorus pedal. dont know about the other pedals, but the fab chorus worked on bass, for me at least

$20.00 would have got you a Behringer Bass Chorus. If you can deal with the plastic housing its a pretty good pedal.

this is really more like getting my feet wet with chorus to see if i like it. If i do, but hate this pedal, i can always get a clone theory. I'm not really stripped for money, just want to see for once if cheaper is better

Awesome! I have a Fab echo sitting in a box waiting for me to do the same (although I was planning on using a crybaby style wah).

if it comes before wednesday, soundclips will be up wednesday night

I like my Fab Chorus, no complaints here.
