The Cheaper DanElectro Pedals

[DustFerret]

Are they any good? I know some of the ones in the 40 dollar packages are pretty nice, but I almost creamed myself when I saw the ones for 15 dollars? Do they sound any good? I've heard they're pretty weak, and you have to stomp pretty light.

Damn. No wonder musicians have no money. Instruments are goddamn expensive.

For fifteen dollars any effect is worth a try in my opinion.

A fifteen dollar chorus, is a fiteen dollar chorus. It works, and for fifteen bucks I guess that's a steal.

I have 2 MiniDano pedals, a Tuna Melt Tremolo and a Rocky Road Rotary Speaker. The tuna melt is great tremolo, i recently sold my Boss TR-2 because the dano sounds better. The rocky road have good sound too, for Leslie simulator sucks, but is great for chorus, better than a Boss CE-5, CH-1 and Ibanez CF-7. The plastic case is better than i think before, i buying these too for 600 pesos (60 dollars).

Danelectro DJ-13 French Toast:

with the octave switch off, will rival a big muff (no, really)

with the octave switch on it goes for that ratty Foxx tone machine sound (i think it was modeled after that).

Honestly, one of the best sounding pedals I own and it was like what? $20?

yes, that french toast pedal is an outstanding value! it is fun and sounds fantastic.....but i wish it were built better. the trem is pretty cool too; but nothing to write home about.

it's 20 freakin dollars! of course you wish it were built better. the point is... if it breaks.... big deal! best thing to do would be to put it through a looping pedal so you don't have to even touch it.

I've owned and used the French Toast for a while now and that thing is a beast for fuzz. It's really great what you can do with it. Just like GearJunkie says if you leave it without the octave switch on it gives you a very thick fuzz sometimes to the point that it oscillates if you apply too much of the dist or volume.

Seems very sturdy too I've dropped it a couple of times and it doesn't get scuffed or dinged. Could be because I practice on top of carpet but I still am not a meathead about it really stomping on guitar pedals like some numetal head type of character. Finally figured how to take off the plastic protector as well that comes with it as well. Nice!

yea; i'd gladly pay an extra $10 for a better switch and housing; but good idea about the looping pedal.

ok.... I -tried- a danelectro pedal, I really did... It wasen't so much that it didn't sound but... But It was frickin' plastic. ( I am MEAN on my gear. ) Mabye with a harder $@% I would buy one. ( They're cheap anyways, I say they'd make great beginer pedals. )
