Hi there!I just bought a danelectro fab chorus and sounds kickass..only that it looks .... well let's say that it doesn't suit my style.I want to rehouse it and make it true bypass.
The problem is that this pedal has two pcb's.One with the chorus circuit and one with input, output and 9v.I want to get rid of the pcb with inputs and co so I will have just the chorus circuit.The two pcb's are connected each other with 5 wires.Like in this picture -> http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i8RsPesx1aI/ThCLIhEeuuI/AAAAAAAAABA/UIkN-ISmp2M/s1600/FAB_Chorus_Step3.jpg blue, red, yellow, bare and white.One of them is input, other is output, 9v, ground and one is unknown..Could someone please tell me what color is for what?

I found a similar circuit to replace -> http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-StOHXDg1MQ4/TYFLHfhTKfI/AAAAAAAAED0/s3c6kUzFWyI/s1600/Bypass.jpg there shows the colors also.

I would need some schematic like that, only that made for my fab chorus.

Shouldn't be too hard to figure out by tracing the connections on the pcb (with the battery and input/output). Just look at which one goes where on the 5 wire connector/jack. Or use a multi-meter to test the connections between the 5-wire jack and the battery snap, input/outputs, etc.

I'd try the chicken salad circuit you found. If you can figure out which wires on the chorus are which, then there's a really good chance it'll work.
