Danelectro


7/4

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

Is this news? They're real cheap.

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...]

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!

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.

Yep, that is what mine is!
