Sound: The sound of this thing is amazing. It totally blew me away- a sound comparable to a $200.00 effects pedal wrapped up in a $20.00 effects pedal. The sustain was incredible. Feature: One of the bad things about this pedal is non-versatility. Distortion on, distortion off. There are two switches on the thing but it is still basically heavy distortion or nothing. Ease of Use: Pretty simple: my mom could use this thing. Quality: Here's where the $20.00 pedal differs from the $200.00 one: quality. It needs to be treated pretty carefully to get a long life. (no jumping up and down on the flimsy plastic pedal) When used normally, it should last a long time. (but come on- show me a guitar player thats normal!!!) Value: value is "Amazing" for the sound, "Average" for the physical quality. Manufacturer Support: Never contacted the Danelectro company. I'll just assume the best. :-) The Wow Factor: Personally, I like the retro look. I'm cool w/ that. I don't play blues or oldies or any of that crap- i play punk rock mostly but i still like the retro. Overall: Overall its "pretty good". Did i mention the sound of the thing?

Back to Product Information
Sound: Very transparent pedal. I work in a guitar shop and compared it to everything I could get my hands on. Only two pedals gave me drive without changing my tone. This one and the $190 Maxon OD808. Guess which one I took home. Maxon sounded better, but not for that price. Feature: Everything you need, nothing you don't. Quality: Plastic upper case, but appears solid. The rest is as solid as it gets. Value: It doesn't get better. Manufacturer Support: Don't really know??? No problems yet. Overall: Very good pedal. Very good price. Very good value. If they're prices stay low like this I'll daisy chain dano pedals all the way across the stage.

The Wow Factor
Musical Background: everyday player
Music Style: rock & blues
Back to Product Information
Sound: Gritty and dirty overdrive for my Fender Blues Junior tube amp. For reference, I also own & use the following overdrive/distortion pedals: MXR Classic Overdrive, VOX Satchurator, BOSS OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion. This little $20 Dano (I picked it up for $15 through CL) doesn't have all the features of those, but it still gets raunchy and cranks up the tubes for rock and blues. Feature: Thick plastic top feels as solid as metal. Mine came with a translucent plastic protector to protect the knobs from being stomped on - not sure if I'll keep that on - it's easy to take off/put on. Ease of Use: Two small knobs - level (volume) and overdrive. Very simple. Quality: Seems well-made. Have not used it very long. Value: $20 new - I got mine for $15 like-new via Craigslist. Absolutely worth it! Manufacturer Support: n/a The Wow Factor: Super hip looks. Cool vibe! Overall: Worth a place in your collection - or as your main OD pedal!

Sound: Good sound, does what it is supposed to do. Feature: Controls for both level and overdrive Quality: Top is plastic, but its tough plastic. Bottom is metal. Value: Super inexpensive, but not cheap! Compares to much more expensive overdrive boxes. Manufacturer Support: Giving it 5 because I have had no reason to contact the company, so I can't give it a good or bad rating. The Wow Factor: 60s styling, looks good :) Better than just a box with switches Overall: This'll be on my floor for awhile. No plans right now to replace it.

The Wow Factor
Music Style: rock, blues, swing, ska
Back to Product Information
Sound: With my combo amp (marshall) on the clean channel, and all the knobs at 6 besides middle and bass, which are at 3, the overdrive gives you a great sound, thick enogh for a good rythym, and enough sustain for lead. Quality: the underside of the pedal is hard tighten correctly with just your fingers, put if you use your keys or something, it fits just fine. there were no blemishes, but the freakin battery died the day i bought the pedal. its a completely solid pedal for its size. Value: this was the cheapest effect ive ever seen, and as far as im concerned, its one of the best sounding.

Sound: Its cheap, but its sturdy. Heavy steel base makes it stay put. I've had it for months and I'm still on my first battery. It makes my 10 watt marshall with a fender squier strat sound great!
