All user reviews for the Danelectro Hodad Mini Amp

Mini amp transistor:
-Guitar input
-Headphone
Boss-kind external power input (j 'uses Diago)
-2 Push buttons: Tremolo (setting behind with a screwdriver) and echo
-3 Knob tone, gain and volume
-1 Battery compartment with a stinking sticker YOU ARE COOL in (the Danelectro touch)
-2 Speaker 8 ohms and 5 cm (2 inches, I have disassembled to see if I could fit a 10-inch inside)
Less than one watt with battery-power, a little more than it seems on food (not good it jumps between the two ears anyway)

UTILIZATION

The manual is of 4 stamps or we learn that increasing the volume loudness (yeah!!) And two settings called during Sweet potatoe pie and Private investigator (the Danelectro touch again) is increased
For sound if you like the small transistor radio of the 70 small rotten as well when you try to listen to Radio Caroline at the bottom of your bed waves' pimply teenager, you will be spoiled (if that is your madeleine Proust, buy)
I also have a Danelectro guitar and I start to wonder if I'm not the main target of the brand, wholesale vintage lovers broke, stingy or a bit stupid or even three at a time.

SOUNDS

It's almost impossible to have a clear sound at least two of my guitars (Danelectro DC 59 AGAIN and AGAIN Ibanez AS 103 with micro Gibson 57) and when it's clear it's not hard to gain the amount c ' is better, it fuzze and I got to have some feedback on the Ibanez.
The tremolo is drinking, echo type 50 nice.
The headphone that is even much better (good agreement to be worse than the hp), except for the clean is not clean.

OVERALL OPINION

I have bought two days ago after seeing it in my local store and have dreamed for 2 semaines.La disappointment is about the height of waiting (I have not taken out a loan for the buy either). The goal was to use it in the garden in the summer, just to vary the pleasures after mow to annoy the neighbors.
Obviously like any Danelectro products (again. ...) its look m 'had won, although if you look good it looks like it is made as toys given with Happy meal (a big thank you to the Chinese children ), I have of being a little naive on this one but two speakers 5cm it will never sound like a Vox lamps with a bowl of 12 (j confess I have searched the net an alternative to two inches but there I think in hindsight that it borders on insanity, I tell myself in a moment of lucidity)
Conclusion: nice to use the headset (but there are already a lot of things that do that)
For outdoor use his look will appeal to all lovers of vintage (it abounds at this time) for power chords and solo fuzzy ok, plain or with tremolo and echo you are alone and it will reach the ear and if you play with a friend of the acoustic ask him to get 50 mêtres.

I picked this guitar up about three years ago at a local pawn shop, but it was brand new...still had the tags on it and everything. It cost $180.

It's got a good set of features but is mostly a "fun" guitar. It has a tremolo bar that's styled after the Bigsby, has two pairs of lipstick pickups that also have coil tap and out-of-phase settings, and has a nice paint job described as pearl red. All in all, a nice looking guitar.

It's like other Dano's, where you get lots of masonite and plastic. Still, the neck is straight and fast, and it can make a variety of cool sounds. If you dig surf music, this will meet a lot of your needs: think Mosrite.

The pickups are pretty noisy, as you might expect. They look kind of like humbuckers but aren't wired that way, so you get single-coil noise.

Pretty good for what it is. As long as you know what you're getting, you should be happy with it. It's been fine since I've had it; no problems at all, and solid as a kitchen counter (which is what it's mostly made of).

Dano has made some really fun guitars, and this may be the best of the lot in looks, sound, and overall quality. For the price, it was a great deal, and I still pick it up and plug it in pretty often despite having choices of other, more well-known guitars.

I had bought this guitar about 6 months ago at a local music store. When I had first saw the guitar, I knew it had to be mine. The price tag on this Dano was $200.00. But, I traded in my Washburn X-Series Guitar for it.

This guitar is awesome. It gives me eveything I need. It has such a Twangy sound to it. The double coil lipstick pickups look great, also as they do perform great. It could be either a lead guitar or a rythym guitar. It has a rosewood fingerboard, Gotoh tuners, Adjustable bridge with a great whammy bar. The Out of Phase and coil Tap affects sound great soloing. The glossy black paint job, with the silver metal flake really put the icing on the cake.

This guitar is very fragile, very light. (Because its a hollow body) Dont abuse it!

This guitar was made with very good construction. It's my only dano thats a show off.

Don't pass up the chance if you see this guitar for sale. You will regret it if you dont get it.

Bought used but in nearly new condition on ebay for $190 including shipping.

When I opened the box, I was stunned at the aesthetics of this guitar. The pictures didn't do it justice. Mine is very pretty with a slightly sparkling white finish and a dark band around the body, with a light maple neck and rosewood fretboard. Beyond the looks, the guitar is very light and comfortable to play--its sort of reverse strat body shape makes it easy to play sitting down or standing. Plus, the electronics and hardware on this Dano are top-notch. The lipstick pickups sound great, the tuners (Gotohs) keep it in tune very well; adjustable bridge. There's some interesting options with the tone--the knobs "pop up" and function as coil taps, I think. I haven't figured it all out quite yet, since I'm something of a beginner, but it's fun playing around with the sounds it creates. In short, a lot of guitar for the money!

The one reservation I have about the guitar is its sturdiness. I wouldn't feel comfortable banging this guitar around, mainly because it has a bolt-on/screwed in neck and the body is made of some sort of reinforced composite (it's actually hollow) and I fear it might be somewhat brittle (so don't drop a dano, I guess!).

It seems very well put together. No problems with any of the (very nice) electronics or hardware. The finish is perfect, the neck thin and strong. Despite the bolt-on neck, mine stays in tune very well. Again, the only reservation I have is its possible fragility.

I love my guitar--it looks sweet, plays great, sounds awesome and uniquely Danelectro. The tones I get from this guitar are really neat. The bonus is that even when it's not plugged in it's pretty resonant for an electric. I'd recommend it over a similarly priced strat (aka Squier or similar).

I paid about 800$ canadian for it at a music shop. About 500$ US.

The pickups were amazing!!! They had a nice vintage sound to it plus they were double coiled so they had lots of power. It looks amazing too! I loved the rosewood fingerboard. I also liked how it had a volume and tone for each pickup. It was loaded with extras like a adjustable bridge and gotoh tuners.

There's nothing I didn't like.

Perfect quality. Hasn't had a problem yet! Also the sound quality is very good.

Buy this NOW!!!
