HI THERE, AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER OF MY REVIEWS. IVE BEEN PLAYING NOW FOR 33 YEARS AND IVE TRIED AND BOUGHT THEM ALL, AND EVEN THOUGH DANELECTRO IS FAMOUS FOR RETRO GEAR I HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS LITTLE DISTORTION PEDAL IS AS HARD HITTING AS ANYTHING ELSE IVE EVER HEARD. I HAVE BOSS, KORG, LINE 6,ELECTRO HARMONIX, AND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING SOUNDWISE. THIS PEDAL IS CRUNCHY AND DEPTHY AND HAS A CUTTING EDGE LIKE A SWITCHBLADE. YES ITS A PLASTIC BODY, BUT LOOK AFTER IT AND IT WILL LAST, ESPECIALLY IN THE DANELECTRO PEDAL CASE. THE ONLY CRITISM IS THAT IF YOU GO OVER HALFWAY ON THE VOLUME IT DOES BRING IN SOME NOISE.......SO DONT DO IT!!! KEPT AT TWELVE OCLOCK ON THE VOLUME, 3 OCLOCK ON THE BASS, AND 12 OCLOCK ON THE TREBLE, YOU WILL GET A HOT SUPER HEAVY DISTORTION. WELL WORTH UP TO 25 DOLLARS IF YOU CAN. ALL THE BEST.......NIC WHITERead full review
This pedal is marketed as a "METAL" distortion pedal, and in this it fails miserably. The best way to describe the sound with the suggested knob settings is sticking a bunch of angry bees in a large tin can and shaking it violently. HOWEVER... I bought it to use as a blues overdrive pedal(as I've seen others do on Youtube)and in this capacity it works brilliantly! Just turn the treble way down, crank the bass to about 3/4 and you have a very nice creamy yet somehow still biting blues tone. If you're a blues/rock player looking for a cheap overdrive that doesn't sound cheap, get this pedal! If you're a metalhead(and yes, I'm a proud one of those too!) go get a second hand Metalzone and steer clear of this one...
It is an old school pedal. Yes it is good for really heavy toned metal. Is it a versitile go to that would work for everyone. Not really. Blues, some grungy rock, and Metal is what this pedal i think works the best for. It is a non compressed full tone product. A bit noisey but if it isnt you arent playing through a real rig. You are playing through a rig that is highly over processed and usually will be or are lacking tone etc. Great bang for the buck.

theres a reason danelectro has been around so long. good looks, compact and awsome sound is what you will get from this switch. if your into classic tone and retro looks this is the switch for you.
