First, even before removing it from its box, marking it the weight!
Being given the weight of other Danelectro pedals ca surprises.
And the pedals is not the smallest: 10cm 15aine of a cm

Blue, black plastic knobs
cot buttons / knobs we have:
- A switch for the tremolo effect and another for the chorus (as mtal)
- Two speed and intensity knobs DDouble (Tagus for a chorus and one for the tremolo)
the advantage when you act as a knob on the bottom (chorus) you do not drglez the top one ... and vice versa.
- A knob "equalizer" prrgles 4 positions (off, 1, 2, 3)
- A mix knob: for more or less effect
- A switch for the tremolo only: indeed "soft" or "hard"
- A 3-position switch (not shown in photo) of the cot connections jacks: Hum / off / Single: Hum attenuated the effect (for humbuckers) and boosts the sound Single (combined with an attitude the EQ knob you can have a slight overdrive .. very nice)

and connections:
- Input
- Ouput
- Output dry: no effect
- DC in for AC adapter (not supplied)
- And a trap door (no screws but a clip) to the battery (provided it!)

There are two red LEDs (top right and left) that shows what effect is activated.
Q: the two effects are active at the same time

UTILIZATION

Very simple;)
the thing that repelled me was the two-storey knobs ... but they are very handy

SOUND QUALITY

For the tremolo I am fully satisfied! the sound is exactly what I was looking for ..
One would cost a cd of Creedence Clearwater Revival ...
The settings are effective .. beginners in the position I thought hard but in fact silent inoperable non .. just do not put too much intensity ..
for the chorus I do not have in-depth analysis. I was looking at the base of a tremolo pedals only .. Submitted took the opportunity to have chorus and tremolo pedals on the same I jump on it!
Otherwise the equalizer prrglages are quite nice ... "2" I really like ... and with the switch to "Single", ca crunch slightly ... very well find!
I have a Godin humbuckers and split ... set to "Hum" ca "break" the sound too my taste .... I did then served as the "off" and "single".

OVERALL OPINION

PDAL solid, look nice (50s), rglages effective, effects very well played, very customizable, very attractive price
