FB2 has 2 switches more mainly. they can add a lot. But FB1 is ok even if
the layout is confusing.

Now as it is used, try all pots, they get scratchy over time (caig me!), and
some behave later erratically, so you have to replace them (which is not
easy, you can't stay long on solder to melt it as the thing is SMD made and
SMD are near all pots)

Otherwise, FB1 is a good thing. If this one is perfect, go for it.

If you want to get crazed up find a Quad (2 FB1 and 2 FB2 in one huge filter
stravaganza) but it's more expensive (only 100 made)
