Any engine control that has a reversion to manual or assisted manual is not completely FADEC.
Early Bell products were the 407 and the 430 with variants of the Allison (now RR) 250 (I believe the C-47 and C-40 respectively), they both had a reversion to fixed mode and via push button could be controlled via twist grip (single channel).
AW139 and AW119 use the PT-6, and are EEC rather than FADEC.
The AW189 with the T700 (or CT7) is fully dual channel FADEC.
