it looks like an old one, but with replaced new electronic inside ... strange

Early '90s. That's the first Dunlop reissue, with the Crest style silicon transistor circuit.

Edit - probably is a Crest reissue, pre-Dunlop, but still way overpriced.

I'd have to agree with Alnico. besides, if this was an original FF you'd need pot codes to verify an approximate date of manufacture, and those pots are new. so if you're interested in a legit vintage fuzz face, this is a pass as it cannot be verified without more documentation and the original parts.

it certainly is a crest audio.
i've never heard a crest audio but it looks quite bad to me http://files.effectsdatabase.com/gear/p ... ce_002.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
the crest one hasn't got an electrolytic capacitor
