If you'd like.
I'm right regardless of the discussion.
Go see MONO or Mogwai live. They will kill you. They will play something soft and pretty and trance-inducing. Then they will hit that Fab Tone and *murder you*.
If I had to have only one dirt pedal, it would be the Fab Tone.
If I could only have one pedal *altogether*, it would probably be the Fab Tone (if the amp had any kind of built-in reverb).
If you don't have a Fab Tone, what are you even doing with your guitar? Just go buy a harp or lute or something.
What are you gonna do, buy a BOSS distortion pedal? Don't be ridiculous. Get a Fab Tone.
And I'll have none of that crybaby stuff about how "but the knobs aren't linear!" and "the distortion control is useless above 9 o'clock, it's just noise!" or how "not only are the tone knobs not linear, but whatever the hell they are doing doesn't even correspond!"
Just put the tone knobs at max and the volume at somewhere between 9 and 12 o'clock, depending on how much you value the health of the biosphere. (I haven't tried anything above 12, because when I got that high, I started seeing a bright light, and I saw my great grandfather, but his face was missing—it was kinda creepy.)
CERN should get rid of the LHC and just study the Fab Tone instead.
The Danelectro Fab Tone is the best dirt pedal ever made.
