About This Product!
Description
Almost an exact sound replica of the Foxx Tone Machine of early 70's fame. Butter and syrup not included. Use as fuzz or fuzz plus octave. Octave up effect can be canceled via switch.
Feature:
It has everything it needs, but a 3-band EQ would be nicer instead of just a tone knob.
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.
Desirability:
an cool addition to your setup - not something you hear everyday
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.
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.
Support:
never needed it - that's the way it SHOULD be.
Overall:
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!

"Tremendous "Bang for the Buck""
Value:
The value is fantastic. I own a lot of boutique stuff too, and this one fits right in with the best pedals made.
Sound:
I own two of these pedals. I bought the second one just in case Danelectro stops making these pedals. I also use a Prescription Electronics Experience pedal which is simular. The PE pedal is a couple of notches up in quality, but the price is very expensive. I bought this one after reading that the circuit is the same as the Foxx pedal. I must admit, this comes close to the PE in tone and it has enormous bang for the buck factor. Turn down your tone on the guitar and enjoy the octave/fuzz. If you don't have much creativity you might not like this pedal, but then you wouldn't be playing the guitar if you didn't have a lot of creativity built into you, now would you? For excellent song ornamentation this pedal is a must>
