Hello I have a Fat-Boost FB-1 - revision 2 (Drive pot with 11steps and tone in the middle),
I bought the pedal knowing that it was not working. Opened it up and there was some fire inside the pedal,
one or more components inside the circuit burned and no remains are left to be seen.
Some of the pcb traces and pads on the area of the burning components were quite affected.

I would like to fix this pedal but I cant get any schematic for it, Contacted Fulltone and the help was not much also.
I need to now what component or components (with value) burned so I can install them and fix this pedal.

I there any chance that any of you has this pedal and could take some pictures of the guts?
this way I would be able to know what components burned and where they are connected. I guess it's either a capacitor or a Diode, or both.

My pedal although is a Rev2 circuit has a Revision 1 board (unit with tone pot on the right nd without 11 steps pot) , I think that when Fulltone changed the circuit they still had quite a big stock of Rev1 pcb's and enclosures and those were used for the Rev2, check how the resistors are soldered together on air.

Once again if you have this pedal please take some pictures
