All user reviews for the Danelectro DC-1 Cool Cat Chorus

Analog Chorus with chipsets bbd circuit (mn3007), for a quite soft sound overall. all in a very wide very heavy box components do not walk on the inside.
conection: 1 in two out jack socket supply +
there are 2 versions of coolcat a version powered 18 volt and a 9 volt (most recent)

USE

Classic standard rate settings depth max speed seems more matured than boss (I had a boss ce3 in time, but I can be the memory that falters, so to check)

SOUND QUALITY

The beautiful modulation, as comfortable with a guitar with an electric piano. good concurente the ce2 I think I found him not default.
a beautiful and good chorus.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Before you spend hundreds of dollars in vintage, listen here.
Having sold my ce3 japan (youthful indiscretion), I found this coolcat analog sound I wanted to find away of digital multi-effects

I was looking for a chorus pedal to add to my effects. I started by reading as many
reviews about chorus pedals as I could. Then I watched E-Bay for the pedals
I was interested in. The Cool Cat has an excellent review history and the price
on E-Bay was always pretty good. I picked mine up for <$40.

The Cool Cat is built like a tank. It is a very heavy construction.

The unit is very simple to operate. You can get some really interesting chorus
sounds out of the unit with a twist of its two dials - speed & chill.

As this was a used unit and I wanted the manual that came with it, I contacted
Danelectro to get a manual. They sent me one for free.

This is more of a warning. The unit requires two 9-volt batteries to operate. I would
highly recommend getting Danelectro's AC adaptor (wall wart) for this unit. Make
sure to get the 18 volt unit.

Excellent construction. Solid heavy gauge steel. Excellent quality.

If you can find one used for ~$40 get it!

So I let that little notice .. has now QLQ years that I have ...

It's an Analog Stereo Chorus Leslie trends format Pedler (yeah the picture is the top I know!)
1in
2Out
What simple

Just two knob on the surface: Chill and corresponding Speed ​​Rate and Depth on other pedals.
A button to initiate or trigger the effect.

on the other hand in 18V transformer! And yeah there are two 18V batteries in it so

UTILIZATION

Level simplicity it is served!

Not making you head is the sound 2 seconds.
The manual is just indicate the possibility of Pedler level wiring and quick explanation on the function of two knobs

SOUND QUALITY

A Chorus of his trs good quality .. Vintage trs on the other hand and in addition has a face! it was not beautiful?
Use with a Rectifier head Mesa / Boogie, Les Paul, the amp dito
I personally branch last in the pedal just before the amp so after Wah phase etc ... preamp and before then!

I prefer adjustable Speed ​​is 70% and 60% Chill. Chorus in its own clear and sometimes a little vintage Metallica you lower the quantity of Speed ​​(lol) and Satur is a limit Rotovibe (As my idol COMMON GROUND Zakk Wylde! It's a bit that I had to 'I took this pedal for that matter). The sound of the pedal is the image of the carcass that dress: vintage round and thick! Should be specified as hot!

OVERALL OPINION

5 years of use .. no ride .. not a problem! the Panard!

The more that is better is that it's simple .. trs certec'est a default for certain of not being able paramettrer more .. but .. scne tebaisse you settle for a hard 2sec!

Tla it slightly compared to Boss, but it's really different, the choice was made ear .. Price level since the time I have paid 500 francs without the transformer is reasonable ... well ...

With the experience I have with this pedal now .. yeah I do it again the same choice ...

This is an analog chorus with two pots, one input and output deus. It works in 18V and it is a hassle to find a transformer.
Made in China
The pedal is wonderful in the spirit of the sound it makes: vintage.
The quality of the connection is really bad: Plastic entries are often parasites.

UTILIZATION

With two buttons one does not take long to find one that suits her.

SOUND QUALITY

The range of sound is relatively small but suits me perfectly.
This is very typical vintage.
Of arpeggios is a treat.
At this price (about 50th hand) I find nothing better.

OVERALL OPINION

Highly recommended as a pedal full range Danelectro elsewhere.
For a very reasonable price was under the foot pedal with a very good sound.
Shame about the build quality ...
With the experience I would do this choice.

Chorus Analogue Mono / Stereo ultra simple to use, 2 knobs Speed ​​(Rate) and Chill (Depth). The main thing is the we ask.
Fontion with 18v (or 2 batteries)
Look rtro magnifque. PDAL stable ground that the weight to be PSE.

UTILIZATION

Bon ben, I just said above. 2 knobs, it's very simple. accsa the battery is easily removed by trapping.

SOUND QUALITY

Sumptuous.
Has no other words, it sounds the fire of the gods who loves rtro. It's soft, not a hair vlout slamming (which can dplaire some vintage simply). The manual provides DIFFERENT rglages who all sound SPECIFICATIONS trs, I let you imagine the effectiveness of knobs. it is why they do not need more.
I still RPET, the sound is amazing, majestic, legendary, ...... uh, what there still more as word?

OVERALL OPINION

It's been three weeks that I have. It's been 8 years that I coveted. I know, I'm long the relaxation, but my patience does rewards. Give me I 1000E CDERA not. Or I take the 1000th and I Rasht an APRS. Clear that as much as saturated, the PDAL has made a gnial. When I see the valuations of others who are also enthusiastic than mine, ca does mean what it means. Buy the, play and .... replay again and again but never quits, it would sacrilge. Such a diva!

I test the two versions: 9V and 18V.

Chinese-made, but pretty good construction, housing in metal.

A connector for a 18V battery were on the problem, I've replaced quite easy and nothing serious.

UTILIZATION

2 knobs is dificil?

There's also 2 knobs in it, but really not much reason to play with a, the factory configuration is more or less optimal.

SOUND QUALITY

No trs big difference between the 2 versions, the 18V has a little less treble sounds a little better and higher speeds. It's certainly not a strong chorus trs.

I personally prfre chorus with a more bold. But it's certainly not bad, and if I had not I would use another chorus of course.

I know this PDAL has many fans, especially in jazz. There's also something in the sound of vibrato pedals.

OVERALL OPINION

I also have a Arion Fat Chorus, a Boss CE-3 and a Behringer UC100. I prfre the sound of all cettes other pedals and I think to sell my Danelectros.

I remember exactly how much I pay I think around 60 Euros, and has done more for Danelectros than others, but even when the construction of Danelectros is better (except the Boss, the Boss is solid).
