    Danelectro Daddy-O

    Danelectro DO-1 Daddy OPublished on 10/03/03 at 15:00
    I got this one second hand at a local guitar shop for about $100 AUD.

    This pedal is a good one if you want something that produces a smooth and classic sort of distortion sound. It's good how the level of overdrive can be pulled right back, so it can be used just to give some crunch, without being too distorted.
    Three EQ controls (Treb,Mid,Bass) is excellent because it gives you a lot more controlthan just a tone knob. The sound from the Daddy-O can be quite 'middy' so it's helpful in that way too.
    I find that the Daddy-O keeps the original feel and sound of the guitar, unlike other distortion units which sound like its taken your signal and processed it into something else.

    The Danelectro classic styling is also a cool feature.

    Don't buy this one for a really 'modern' sound, its much better for a retro feel. I've tried studio recording with it but it just doesn't have the quality to be a top level pedal.
    Better to use at home and small gigs.

    Generally the Danelectro's are solid and look good. Their one flaw is the switches- these can tend to have problems, as I've found with my Danelectro tuner.

    The Daddy-O is good fun at a pretty good price. It is a lot better than other pedals I've used in this price range- the sound is far more 'real' with much more body and tone. It can be pulled right back which is really important, which makes it very useable. The sound is fairly 'genre-specific'(classic/retro), however, but if this is your style, you'll probably like it.

    Overdrive pedals-saturation.

    Trs sturdy box (very heavy)

    Analogique.Utilise the same technology that Op amp in the Marshall Guvnor (TL072)
    1 input, 1 output jack 6.35
    Posiibilit with the power transformer or battery (battery hatch very practical - better than BOSS for my part)

    UTILIZATION

    Simple. Efficace.Les The EQ is 3 buttons are a little too close, but at the same time a rgls, it is left over!

    The footswitch is soft (no sofa bed as BOSS, or Marshall guvnor)

    SOUND QUALITY

    Good overdrive in all!

    We're going to the big bluesy sound saturation.
    Unfortunately we can not use the pedals as a boost. The drive to the minimum + volume pedals to the max, it …

    We're going to the big bluesy sound saturation.
    Unfortunately we can not use the pedals as a boost. The drive to the minimum + volume pedals to the max, it lowers the volume of the guitar (unlike a Tubescreamer by EX)!

    Compare with Tubescreamer TS-10: the sound is much less chaud.On approaches the sound of the Marshall Guvnor (first edition). By pushing the drive, we approach slowly the Fuzz (without really achieving even when ;-)

    The sound is as good as rhythm solo

    OVERALL OPINION

    Trs PDAL good overall. Polyvalente except for the large mtal drooling.

    30 euros buys secondhand

    it is an overdrive pedal, not editable, not rackmount, analog!

    UTILIZATION

    Quite simple, the manual is helpful and clear, with some setting examples! Resolve this pedal is a breeze if you have small fingers, because the knobs are glued one has the other!

    SOUND QUALITY

    The overdrive is very loyal and realistic, I use a jackson dx10d equipped with DiMarzio Super Distortion and PAF Pro!

    OVERALL OPINION

    It has been 12 years since I had it, I tried a few others of the same type pedal (overdrive) and this one is my favorite was the time! What I like most is the sound, of course, but also its robustness! least the knobs glued one to the other!
