Manufacturer's Description for Danelectro DJ5 Tuna Melt Tremolo Pedal

Sounds so real you can feel the heat from your 1956 tube amp. Hard/Soft switch perfectly simulate tremolos from different 50's era amps. Tasty!

When it comes to packing power into a tiny package, Danelectro has really broken the price barrier with their line of durable, miniature effects pedals. With list prices ranging from $29 to $49 it is hard to ignore these tasty little guys. And they are so cute too! zZounds is an authorized dealer of Danelectro products.

Runs on a single 9 volt battery or optional AC adapter.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Instant Fogerty"

Sound: Played with a slightly overdriven telecaster, I immediately thought of CCR when I first heard this pedal, like Midnight Special or Born on the Bayou. Warm and swampy right out of the box. Reacts well to my 4 position set up. Swampy (in the most desirable sense) with the neck pickup and heavenly glistening on the bridge pickup. Feature: Danelectro provides their own 9V battery. Looks great works great. Interestingly, the product photo shows 3 knobs but the unit I received has a little toggle switch in the middle instead of a third knob (switches between smooth and hard tremelo waves). I prefer the toggle switch. Ease of Use: It's impossible to NOT get your desired effect within 5 seconds. Speed knob, depth knob and a little toggle switch (not another knob in the middle like the photo but a toggle switch)that switches easily between smooth waves and hard waves. Way easy to use. Quality: Heavy plastic yellow case with a metal bottom plate. I don't think this will break if I dropped it. I've been using the Danelectro Bacon 'n' Eggs for a few months now and it stands up to daily play very well. This Tuna Melt unit is constructed the same way. I would vote 10 on this unit if the knobs weren't plastic and cheap feeling, though chrome-covered. Value: I'm amazed at the sound quality of these Danelectro pedals for the price and this Tuna Melt is no different - I feel like I made a very wise choice in terms of what you're getting for the money. An excellent value. Solid build and great sound. Manufacturer Support: The first Danelectro pedal I bought I sent back because of a flaw and I received another unit back the next day. But it was Zzounds customer service not Danelectro's. Nevertheless, I haven't had any trouble with the replacement Bacon 'n' Eggs or this Tuna Melt unit. The Wow Factor: This is the yellow pedal in Danelectro's colorful set. Cool or campy depending on your point of view. I like Batman, Elvis, cheeseburgers and these Danelectro pedals. Overall: This Tuna Melt pedal helps to make a signature sound a little easier to come by for a low price. It's part of a set that work together well.

Danelectro DJ5 Tuna Melt Customer Review

Sound: sounds GREAT. i use two with my electric piano and one before my old two knob voodoo lab tremolo. just fantastic little units. Feature: if came with a brand new danelectro battery (nice, they are). the best feature is the switch to go from triangle/square wave instantly. The Wow Factor: they look like rad '50s style effects and they fit in the palm of your hand.

Style of Music: alternative/country/irish/mississippi hill country blues/jazz/ old rock
