Feature:
The main feature on this pedal is the "Fab" feature. It is mearly an adjustment to the overal distortion sound.

Quality:
The pedal I own is about three years old, and is equipped with metal casing and a good thick coat of paint. Durable enough for a road trip.

Value:
The pedals seem to hold their value, but at the same time, they're very inexpensive. They lose about 10 to 15 dollars after purchase.

Desirability:
This pedal has the look of an old 50's rocket car. It's more "cute" than "sexy."

Sound:
This pedal has a sound like no other. New pedals are either trying to emulate a vintage amplifier, or just over-distorting the circuits to achieve the over-the-top metal sound. The Dano Fab-Tone speaks for itself. The overall sound of the pedal is quite fuzzy, but not near as thick as the Electro Harmonix Big Muff. The pedal is great for guitar solos, as the amount of overdrive is quite high. The pedal also has a combination of low end frequencies, combined with high ends. There is not a whole lot of middle frequencies available, as the EQ settings are conducted with a bass and treble faders.

Support:
I've never had to contact Danelectro. All of the products I've purchased from them have never broken down. So it would be wrong to downgrade their service when I've never had any problems with this company whatsoever.

Overall:
Great pedal, with a distinct sound. No amp seems to do what this pedal does. It's a keeper, and most pedal collectors should really like this one. If you like RAT and Electro Harmonix, you'll like the Dano Fab-Tone. I use this pedal in my studio, and most guitar players that record here end up plugging into the Dano sooner or later.

Feature:
Level, Bass, Treble, Fab (Drive) Great ability to control tone and distortion level.

Quality:
Metal body and very heavy. The only thing I worry about is the AC adapter. I'm not completely confident in its durability, though I've had the unit for over a year with no problems.

Value:
Nothing comes close for the price. Don't buy into the hype of the DS-1 or Dist+.

Desirability:
I love this piece of equipment. It could be smaller, though it doesn't take up too much space on my pedal board.

Sound:
Hard to believe, but one of the best pure distortion pedals on the market today. Take the time to adjust your tone on your amp and pedal, plus an eq if you have one, and this pedal can do everything from distorted blues to massive metal. I bought this for fun when I was shopping for a Marshall Guv'nor. Now it's the only pedal on my board.

Support:
Non-existent as far as I can tell. No customer support number or email to be found anywhere. I actually have no idea what I was supposed to do if I had a warranty claim.

Overall:
This is the distortion pedal I've always been looking for. Outstanding value and highly recommended, if you're willing to take the time to work with the effect.

Feature:
The nobs do what they are suposed to . Can't complain. Although ( for me ) the distortion nob and the FAB nob are always at zero

Quality:
Solid. Unless you're very very clumbsy / violent , you can't break it

Value:
Try to find better , Danelectro is pretty wallet friendly

Desirability:
This stomp box is one of the best loking box on the market. Makes people curious

Sound:
It's very powerfull. Not for the "overdrive type sound". For optimal response, better have a good axe or at least quality pickups. This stomp will give you much more distortion than you really need if your into THE STOKES , FRANZ FERDIAN or JET.

Support:
Though I never had to use customer support I've only heard good about the warranty

Overall:
I wont sell it for sure, even if I plan on getting one of danelectros Overdrives this stomp can come in handy

this would be one of the best distortion effects out there. I have used it in all the different kinds of music I play. It has been more effective in my metal riffs and high distorted solos, but as well it will work for melow and soothing distortion sounds.

Value:
Selling for 110$ (except %18 tax rate) in Turkey :(

Sound:
Just perfect for people who want their own special sound, it has an amazing tone.. But you should have another distortion pedal with it, then it will be more useful.

Feature:
Nothing special features.

Quality:
Hmm... It's made of somekind of metal so I think that it is quite safe to use. Mine hasn't broken yet.

Value:
Well... I've seen these for less than 20 dollars so I don't think that these pedals are really worth of selling. I pay about 60 euros for mine and I guess that someone could buy it for 30-40 euros because these are more "rare" in Finland than in U.S.A.

Desirability:
Well... It's not very cool but not ugy neither

Sound:
Quite stuffed-up distortion.

Support:
Well... I haven't dealt with customer service, sorry. But... When my Cool Cat got broken (it burned inside) I send it to music store where I bought it from and got my money back (they didn't have those pedals anymore).

Overall:
This has been part of my gear for two years now and I've been even gigging with it. It's a good distortion (even if it is quite noisy but you can handle that with other "effects". I mean, remove the noise).

Feature:
It has alot of features a bypass footswitch and controls for gain, volume, bass, and treble. The volume and the treble are the only knobs that seem to have much of an afeect on the overall sound. In my experience I have found that a distortion or overdrive unit sounds best when there are fewer controls like vol, drive and tone or dist, filter, and vol. Like the rat pedals, there are three and they get sounds from vintage to modern depending on the pedal.

Quality:
The overall quality is not bad. It is built sturdy and am never concerned about it it is built like a tank, in die-cast housing.

Value:
Not bad for the price but if you want to stay in the price range go for a rat and if you can go higher look at the tube screamer.

Desirability:
Well i have it and it is pretty I'll give it that, it has that nice burgundy finish with with the chrome danelectro V and knobs. The looks remind me of a classic car.

Sound:
I suppose if you are into that fuzzy sound, the type that when playing with a band makes it impossible to distinguish different notes, then you may like this. It seems a might thin and weak in the lower end. It does provide long sustain and gobs of gain though. It may be good for some types of metal or something, but I suggest trying it before buying it. I play punk and while it is good for high notes it becomes crappy sounding fuzz. And even when you roll off the gain it doesn't clean up. And this is a distortion unit not an overdrive like advertised, keep that in mind.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
If it were lost or stolen I would probably but something else. I would search for something that brought out the articulation of my playing a little better. And I have had this thing for about 6 months and I am currently looking for something to replace it.

This is the pedal I've ever owned (out of 6). It has 4 knobs: Level, Bass, Treb, and Fab. I bought this pedal for $35-used and without a manual. So I don't know what the hell "Fab" is. I refer to it as "Mud". At 10 the sound is moist and dirty, at 0 it's dry and cleanly (but heavily) distorted.
This is not an overdrive pedal! It's Distortion! And you can't use it as overdrive, because it has no "Distortion" knob. The only way to adjust that is by turning the volume knob on the guitar up or down, but I don't find it to be the same thing. Many pickups behave different at low volumes.

I think this is one of the best destortions on the market, the sound is beutiful. i have allready gone through 2 of them. thats why i give them a 3 on quality. but to hear the sound of it is really pleasing.

Feature:
includes plenty of control knobs but besides volume the sound is really effected yany of them

Quality:
one good thing its made really well stomp away!!

Desirability:
the pedal is finished well its just a pity it doesn't sound as good as it looks

Sound:
the fab knob doesn't seem to work even switched all the way down you still get loads of distortion plus the sound is very thin and trebley not bad for solo's but thats about it

Overall:
at the moment im not using this pedal prob trade it in for something else
