7/4 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) I saw an ad in the latest GP for these little suckers. Now I have a sudden yearning in my loins for a Peach or an Aqua Dano Pro. No...wait...it's gotta be Keen Green. Must be the warm weather bringing the hormones to life...I want to start a new wave band. Maybe I'll get two to hang above the Rhodes.

Guest donald petersen Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 i have been having a lot of trouble with my danelectro effects pedals lately. seem to be horribly made. Quote
J Larsen Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 i have been having a lot of trouble with my danelectro effects pedals lately. seem to be horribly made. They effing suck! Horrible, horrible, horrible. I'm pretty much a Fulltone/Roger Mayer/occassionally Boss guy (the digital delay pedals are fine, the rest is kind of crap). I was a little into Z Vex for a while but now I can't stand them. I have a buddy who has a Zachary overdrive pedal that is one of the best sounding things I've ever heard, but for the $200 price difference, my OCD works for me. But Danelectro.... no thanks. Quote

Fair enough - aren't they like $40 a piece for the basic ones? Still - you can throw away $40 or invest $150 well... Quote
GregN Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 I had that squished box looking one, but in poopy chocolate brown. I see that are not reissuing that color. lol I love these things for fingerstyle stuff. The lipstick tube pickups give them a nice glassy tone. Quote
AllenLowe Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 actually, Dano's Octave distortion pedal is a great fuzz, analog and out of control; the reverb gives a great 1950s lo-fi echo; and the delay is very good. Quote

Fair enough - aren't they like $40 a piece for the basic ones? Still - you can throw away $40 or invest $150 well... I bought one of the Danelectro Fab Distortion pedals for $16, new. Not REAL versatile, but it does the trick. Their $16 slap echo pedal does a competent job as well. [Then again, my guitar was a $74 clearance model from the Target store...] Quote

For the price I guess they are a low-risk proposition, but the sound isn't to my taste. Quote

[Then again, my guitar was a $74 clearance model from the Target store...] I bought a clearance guitar from Target for a friend as well, a Washburn "Lyons" strat copy that had a little practice amp in the box as well for about that same price. Was not a bad guitar for a beginner for that price! Quote
AllenLowe Posted April 27, 2007 Report Posted April 27, 2007 I like the pedals because most have a truly analog sound - the reverb sounds uncannily like a cheesy 1950s echo (think Sun Ra; as a matter of fact on my current CD I recorded Lewis Porter on electric piano with the Dano reverb and it sounds great); the OCtave distortion just goes out of control, unlike digital pedals which are really too polite for me; I use it also on the CD, on several tunes where it has a great electronic wave to it.

J Larsen Posted April 27, 2007 Report Posted April 27, 2007 I'm with you on analog pedals - I only like digital for delay, and if I were good enough to warrant buying myself an echoplex I'd likely change my tune on that, too. Quote
