The knobs are dead giveaway that and the price.FuzzFace are always coming up for sale on eBay but my advice is to search the listings late night  say after midnight or real early in the morning.I was able to get a good one(used but not abused) for a Buy Now price of $35.00.

I cant download the pdf project file from tonepad.

Any good hearted guy that has the pdf project file?
It would be very much apreciated if u can send it at jass@e-devco.com.

I prefer layouts from tonepad because they are so DIYer friendly.

If it sounded superb, I would probably use it.
 If it has Ge's in it I would probably use them.
 I can populate a FF board in like 25 min. [if no debug is necessary].
 The FF Proto board is where 'you're' FF sound is Found!!!
 All sockets and trimpots.
 That or a breadboard.
 Just cuz cuz had one...people are sorting through garbage ever after...

This looks like the typical ploy on ebay known (by me) as "perceived seller ignorance"  The seller makes a short, sort of ambiguous statement to make you believe the product is something better than it really is.  In this case he used the word "Arbiter"  to plant in you mind that it is some sort of original.  I bet if you email and ask the seller if the first word in the "smile" of the face is "Arbiter", he'll either say "no" or not answer.  If pushed, he'll say the _thought_ fuzz faces were arbitor. etc.  On the other hand maybe he REALLY is ignorant...all in a day's fun at ebay.

I see this ploy in many forms.  Sometimes they say, looks like it's in great shape, but I don't have a cable so I can't test it, sold as is.  This kind of crap really keeps you guessing

It looks like a genuine '93 reissue.

Various Dunlop FF's have been issued with "Arbiter" written on them.

In this case, "Arbiter" is the name, not the manufacturer. Arbiter the manufacturer licensed their name to be used by Dunlop.

The seller may not even be trying to be sly.

This appears to be a nice, clean example. Likely candidate for a transistor transplant.
