All user reviews for the Danelectro D-2 Fab Overdrive

overdrive for his blues rock (see above)
greasy and moualleux to perfection
Fully analog
on battery and power supply (9V)
(With a beautiful blue LED on)

USE

volume, tone, overdrive
"Not easy to reach but if done!"


SOUND QUALITY

I use an old Fender amp sidekick 10 and a les paul usa victoria (unknown to the battalion scratch)
recovered microphones mounted with a gibson sg.
0 to 10 it reacts very well
and is easy to find the desired sound.
a fat sound typed 60/70
on the edge of a very heavy rock.



NOTICE GLOBAL

buy 12 euros (a misery for an American brand!)
I look there kept
and recommended for any guitarist seeking his old blues rock vintage.

Analog Overdrive while transistor. Gain, a tone, a drive, nothing but normal. Not heavy, cheap and unpretentious.
A nice blue light that does not spoil the pedal board.
2 Jacks
A switch ... that is not "True Bypass".
It is this feature that makes the whole point for me (or the disadvantage of this little pedal).

UTILIZATION

3 buttons.
They are placed on the back of the pedal, which is not very convenient, but it avoids the unwanted maladjustment.

SOUND QUALITY

First of all, I think this pedal sounds better with single coils than double, with which the sound quickly becomes fuzzy (I have a good US Start and a Les Paul that is not in the least home, I can compare). I play more blues, and I'm looking for sounds that make it rather well defined and the expressiveness of the game
Used on a tube amp on the OD channel of the amp overdrive mode, the range is wide enough so we do not insist too much on the drive (it is better to push the volume and reduce the drive). The tone can be shades of fat (I find that happens quite well to approach sounds a little liquid appreciated by Ben Harper when he plays saturated). Otherwise, I find that it still lacks definition, even if the sound is distinctive and it lives (which is a good sign!).
On the clean channel of the amp, it's blah. Draft, artificial, but like many pedals of this type.

Good real surprise is that this pedal is not really "true bypass". It colors the sound even disabled. And then the surprise is that the effect is rather flattering, adding harmonics, much like an Exciter that one is on the clean channel or channel of the amp OD. Actually I use it now to color my sound slightly. I reserve the other OD pedals less fuzzy, and then for the solo parts.

OVERALL OPINION

This will be 3 years that I have. She finds a place in my pedalboard next to a TS9 and a Banzai Fireball.
It's a great value, including the misuse that I do.
Definitely recommended, as I think a lot of products in this range of Danelectro Fab.
My opinion is very positive, but only the prospect of a diversion for use as mine. I also think it can hurt to ring at almost anything ... and that the reverse is also true. But for that price, we have the right to be wrong!

Ben is in the overdrive

Analog

Not

Jack 1 / 4 "or 9 volt batteries

Not

UTILIZATION

Yes that is very simple one knob for each, Level, Tone, Overdrive

Ben for the level and the overdrive seems when you ca move the knobs for tone ca not a very big change in sound is easy but yes c

It is not big manual is not much to say lol

SOUND QUALITY

Ben c alone is not terrible for those who love the big sound, but with the added distortions c j is the foot I plug in my Peavy Bandit ca Sheffield United States
simulation lamps very well am the way and I put the overdrive ca buche I am very happy with the results with my amp build an EQ is terrible devastating ahhh c

I play with a small cheap Yamaha I quietly renipe micro Godin

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a week and go around ca c is not too long
J likes the look and sound beautiful light blue lol
d in many even got the Boss that J have all sold the Boss does not agree with the Bandit has finally my taste has got me j OD 1 and 2 and MD2 SATIF never been the result

hh I have to pay the $ 10.50 on EBAY a US Deals in Quebec it sells $ 30 + tax

so for what I wanted to make this pedal and have to build an old amp distortion

And I've recently purchased a Danelectro Wasabi Distortion really cheap which I'll talk about the bietot because I have not received even go to the website Listen to his terrible
http://www.wasabitone.com/hearit.htm

Overdrive Pedal
Analog
non editable via PC
connection between a jack, an output

UTILIZATION

The general config is no one bit simpler

Editing sounds is not very practical because the pots look behind the pedal so it's bad for the Danelectro

Manuel tiny, clear

SOUND QUALITY

So I must say the Congratulations to Danelectro, because it's terrible.
I bought this pedal to play the blues, I'm all in the market and asked him what he had in the register and in my budjet (ie less than 100 euro), I went 2 Boss pedals: DS-1 and SD-1 and I tried both and I was not really happy to play the blues I was looking for a warm, well rounded and not Criar on acute when of a sudden he comes out of me behind the faguots the Danelectro saying "I've had a very low price if you want to try it," I tried it and it was exactly what I wanted . So I am left with only 28 euro.
I use it with a marshall amp MG100-DFX and X-Alesis Guitar.

Regarding the settings: Level, Tone, Level and Tone Overdrive.Le are not very reactive but still enough, he filled the overdrive very well since his mission for a good blues do not go up to over the quarter and when it is thoroughly dull the sound becomes very fat.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month
It is small, practical, impractical behind the buttons
In its price range I think there is no doubt this is the best
I would do without this choice problems

Analog overdrive pedal all that is more basic: two jacks, a volume gain, an eq ...
Plutt solid (well for the price) despite its cheap.
However, the buttons are not easy to ACCS and trs rglage not intuitive.

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use, a manual trs short but ample.
It is truly plug and play.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is the big highlight of the pedals. By playing around with the equalizer to the amp you get a nice range of sounds, including some nice trs.
But they will not please everyone, I understand that some aisment do not like them.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over an hour, but I had had a dja hands before. For the price it gniale, and in its register, probably more effective than more Chres pedals.
Therefore a good investment, but try it before purchase.

Overdrive

(For the rest see below)

UTILIZATION

Editing is very simple: Level - Tone - drive

No need for manual!

I find it very convenient choice and location of the knobs because inaxessible with the foot.
Let me explain: in the heat of the moment and with some pedals are not moving inadvertently setting by operating the switch. No worries here. (It depends on the tastes of course).

SOUND QUALITY

What I find great about this pedal is the huge range of sounds that can be achieved by fiddling a little.
The knobs are very responsive and the "Tone" really offers great opportunities:
Sharp-edged sounds good to the drooling, chaudset and filthy as I love them ...
When you start playing with the knobs of those pedals and the guitar is bleuffant. even with the tone all the way into the grave (see mixed reviews on the "bottom" of the pedal)

I use a Fender Stratocaster Deluxe (USD)> Dynacomp a> a GT8 (I'm about to turn)> JamMan a> and a peavey classic 30 home.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it while waiting to change the lamp of my "twin tube classic" (overdrive home seymour duncan).
And I seem to have fun with this one more than the twin tube (10 times more expensive).

Frankly for the price (€ 29) I'm on the ass.

Do I do it again this choice? of course it does.
Although she snaps in 2 years will be value for money (for me) beat!

Overdrive classic: tone, drive and level.
Very small and round (change of square boxes), all air strong enough. Ptite the blue light lights up when she is original ...
Short of very good yet.
Simple and effective!

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple 3 buttons. One small problem, a pallet of its relatively small but effective.
Again very good and true bypass (at least AC has very strong air).

SOUND QUALITY

Used with guitar (as it's amazing!).
The sound is very pretty tipe 70s grados, with delay and reverb Excellent for solos to pink floyd. In rhythm it's pretty dirty.
In short, this pedal responds very well on most guitars, but what prompted me to change it to use on Jaguar. In fact the sound is absolutely not the same, that class for solo and treble but it is getting serious very quickly unmanageable. This is by no means an overdrive in the English indie rock type. The sound is special, but has its charm.
I play guitar in the type noisy pop so I bought the queen later this era of Boss OD 2.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for a little less than a year and is still with me in case of need in my home studio.
I wanted a cheap overdrive history of the ex me and I liked the sound. It is true that I use very little today, but this pedal has a value for money completely awesome, and I will not hesitate to buy one.
I also eventually buy the Fab Flange and just as surprised by the quality of its small Danelectro Excellent.
A 18 € in Toto is a case to blow!
Try it if possible or if you are looking for a iverdrive cheap, go for it!

Overdrive all that is most con: volume, gain and tone.
I bet 10 swabs that it is 100% digital
All plastic case but it looks solid.

UTILIZATION

It's an overdrive, not a rocket spatial: the manual if it exists,'re useless.

SOUND QUALITY

So there it is good and not so good ... In overdrive, the clean channel on an amp it sucks, it does not sound, flat and uninteresting .. No cons on a small tube amp though pushed the pedal is connected with this config: Gain: 0 / volume: 10 / Tone: 5. It acts as a boost and your amp off. I bought this pedal for my pack of completed low-fi stuff and well I was pretty surprised by the sound delivered as a boost

OVERALL OPINION

I never saw him for almost a year, I sold it for 5 € a pal who wanted to hack (I do not even know if he succeeded)
In short, not a pedal of death that kills, but a nice little box is useful when you do not want to take risks in overdrive to 300 € ... Useful but not essential and saw the price: to deny it?

This is a very simple, analog distortion pedal. It's just input and output, quarter inch cables for both. It runs on a 9-volt. No mac/pc editing capabilities, no audio/midi connections, and it's not rackable.

UTILIZATION

The setup couldn't be simpler. It's a pedal with in/output, and three knobs: There isn't too much in the way of sound/effects editing. The manual is pretty clear considering how basic it is.

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal doesn't really sound that great. It sounds like a cheap imitation of a better pedal like the Tube Screamer (which, at $20, it basically is.) It's noisier than most overdrive pedals (which is pretty noisy in my opinion). I used a Fender Strat with this, running it through a Fender Deluxe. It wasn't quite what I expected. It sounded like they were going for a more natural, output distortion sound. The reality is, it just makes your amp a little more gritty and a lot noisier. When added to a distorted channel, it didn't make it sound any better. It just made it, again, noisier. I appreciate how cheap this pedal is, but it doesn't really justify how bad the pedal is. I'd rather pay a lot for a good pedal than spend a few bucks on a bad piece of gear, which is what this thing is.

OVERALL OPINION

You can't beat the price, but you can easily beat the sound. Stick with natural distortion, just by turning the amp up; it sounds better than this. If you have an amp with two channels, this thing is pretty much unnecessary. Some people might think the added push that an overdrive pedal provides is necessary. I personally agree, however, this pedal is not that pedal simply because you'll get more noise than anything else. I didn't have to use this for more than a week to realize that it's not a good pedal. I didn't really like anything about it at all, and it ended up just being a waste of time since I returned it promptly. I wouldn't recommend this pedal to anybody.
