"Trippy COOL fuzz/octave effect"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
very happy with Danelectro products, and the French Toast is a sweeeet economical alternative to the glut of "boutique" stuff out there. Just because it costs and arm and a leg, and is made by some guy in his basement, does NOT mean it's better!
Sound
This is a FUZZ, not a distortion!! You know that dirty screechy COOL tone that Hendrix got in some of his solos? That's what this is for, not 80's hair metal. If you like White Stripes stuff, you'll like this pedal. It sounds very good, and for the price, it's an absolutley AMAZING deal. It's a tool, just like any other, and should be used for what it is designed.
Features
It has everything it needs, but a 3-band EQ would be nicer instead of just a tone knob.
Ease of Use
I think the creativity factor of a fuzz/octave effect goes over alot of people's heads... but that's not the pedal's fault.
Quality
the knobs on Dano pedals seem abit flimsy, but I've never actually had a problem with them myself - just because they're called "stompboxes" doesn't mean you actually STOMP on them!
Value
Danelectro gives BIG BANG for the buck - I will continue to be a repeat customer.
Manufacturer Support
never needed it - that's the way it SHOULD be.
The Wow Factor
an cool addition to your setup - not something you hear everyday
