Value For Money :
Excellent
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!
