Source
0 0

An oscillation switch can be added by wiring to the repeats pot lugs, though it may cause a popping noise when engaged.

Critic Reviews

http://bluesharpamps.blogspot.com/2008/08/review-danelectro-fab-echo-pedal.html

bluesharpamps.blogspot.com

For $14.99, the Danelectro Fab Echo is a no-frills option that delivers a warm slap-back echo ideal for blues harp players. Its simplistic design, featuring just Repeat and Mix controls, makes it easy to use, though its lack of a Delay Time control might limit versatility. While it’s made of plastic, it feels sturdy, and its sound quality is surprisingly good for such a low price. However, it lacks product support, and its power consumption can be high due to the bright LED. Perfect as a budget-friendly backup, but not without its limitations.
