Danelectro Pedals - Anyone tried that?

i'm talking abt those going for 30 bucks.. i believe those mentioned above are more expensive? Was thinking of getting the flanger
 
danelectro pedals give off a decent sound imo... but its nt very durable, plastic casing i recall(my friend dropped his black coffee and had some trouble switching on his pedal ever since)

but i think its gd for those beginners... definite bang for your buck... jus dun set too high an expectation :D
 
I read this of HCFX, they are saying that the TS-9 R/I has the same circuit and schematics as the FAB Overdrive.

Here's an excerpt,
Other famous TS variants include.

Fulldrive...modded TS
Landraff....tweaked TS
Nobels OD....TS!

That FAB OD is a TS part for part.


SO is that cheap Chinese "Daphon" Overdrive...
IT IS A PART FOR PART TUBESCREAMER RIGHT DOWN TO THE "MAGIC" JRC4558 chip...
I dont think guys who equate shelling out boutique $$$ can quite accept it, but the schematic dont lie.
 
Aye, this is perfect. I've got a Danelectro 'Grilled Cheese' Distortion, basically distortion with a wah whose frequencies you can adjust. It's a pretty cool effect.

I want to sell it, get the fundamental boxes for a pedalboard first. Any takers?

This is the VERY TYPE OF COMMENTS on HCFX that you should read, point a finger and laugh the shit out of their ignorance.

Check out the controls on the Fabtone vs TS9
4 vs 3. Part for part indeed.

Check out the sounds on the Fabtone vs TS9
Meshuggah vs Eric Bolton

HCFX indeed.

I htink you should keep it. It will fetch a REALLY low price since its so cheap. Just hang to it first...

Then when you have the dough... transplant the insides into a metal enclosure with True Bypass and decent jacks.

Then include an expression pedal jack so you can attach an expression pedal to control the "wah".

And add more controls to the distortion.

And give it multi coloured LEDs.

While you are at it, include a feedback loop in it. activated via a footswitch, so you can feedback and make silly noises with that expression pedal.

Of all the points above, only the rehousing and expression pedal thing has been done before, to my knowledge. The rest is my silly imagination. :P
 
lol.. i used to have the whole fab family but sold them away... couldnt stand the way there were built... well i guess you get what you pay for yeah
 
Its all abt rehousing them man. :)

If all goes well... I should have a rehoused PB&J echo in my cold, sweaty hands.... muahahaha... shall I ask for 15 secs of delay time? :twisted:
 
I'll be bringing the FAB overdrive, slapecho and chorus for TAGS. You can try em there if you like. The overdrive is nice, got that lower mid growl I like.
 
Hmm.

I am using the Daddy O Overdrive :lol:

Got the last piece over at PS music plaza during the sale... final price (inclusive of music plaza membership discount) was $71.

Ok down to business:

Knob sequence:

volume > bass > contour/mids > treble > gain

The thing about this guy is that it's pretty fuzzy.. and throwing it into my signal chain.. it brings out some graininess into my sound. It's great for that old-school 'You Really Got Me' (The Kinks) sound, or that 'Rock and Roll' (Led Zeppelin).

Bear in mind that this pedal is not good for leads due to it's lack of sustain (a compressor might help).. but it is excellent for rhythm work and getting that nice big crunch into your sound.

It's pretty versatile because it's got an on-board EQ which you have to treat with caution: it is prone to muddy-ing up your sound when you turn up the bass.

The Chassis is made of metal, but a small bit of paint chipped off the moment I got it home and accidentally knocked the base of my Crybaby against it T_T. It's heavy too... almost as heavy as my Crybaby.

The activation switch is this nice silver plastic (?) button which can be pressed with minimal effort.

The knobs are a tad too small, and you cannot see the settings properly unless you have good lighting because the knobs are chrome and the indicator notch is small and black in colour.

The best thing about this pedal is that it has the on-board EQ so that you can set you amp EQ for clean, and the moment you activate the pedal you have no need to tweak the amp.

However, if you feel that the lack of sustain turns you off, thing is... when you want to have lead tones just throw in another pedal to juice up the sustain (I use my OS-2 as a booster with minimal gain to get a Big-muff-like sustain).


Hope this helps :)
