I have liked a lot of the Danelectro pedals over the years. Doesn't seem like the sound samples are up yet.

Those switches seem very cheap and fragile !

hmmm, I dont know why they didnt just keep making the ones from a few years back.  i wouldn't be surprised to find the same circuits inside some of them....

I doubt it. Danelectro is still making the minis and the Fab series, or they're still on the webpage atleast. They also had that Wasabi series, that they seemd to let fall by the wayside, and they all had differences.

Maybe some will be similar or the same, guess we'll find out.

i think their marketing department is going dotty. first the Wasabi line were shaped like vintage automobiles, but marketed with images of a sumo wrestler. now this new line is all called "Cool Cat," which used to be the name of just their chorus. odd.

Yeah, Danelectro is a great company but a bunch of odd business men. Take a look at the "metal" pedal's description. "From crunch to scream (don't let the name fool you, it's much more than metal)"

Then why name it "metal"?

Oh and that guy in the middle of the "cool cat" logo looks like Conan O'brien.

I grauntee Conan has Dano products.

Yeah Danelectro seems to use model names very randomnly.

They had a cool cat chorus already.

They had a "Pro" Series run of U and DC shaped Danos, only to come out later with the vintage shaped Pro.

Then there is the Fab effects line, but before there was a Fabtone.

  Those cool cats over at Danelectro are probably smoking jazz cigarettes.

how will we know what the pedals do if they don't name them after diner food?

wow those look cheap.
i'd be scared to put my foot on it lightly, let alone anything with pressure.

Yeah, because you know how flimsy metal casings are...

Yeah metal is over rated.. cracked bakelite and chewed bubble gum is the way to go

Im more of a paper pedal guy, I fold complete pedals(including circuit boards) using the ancient art of FX origami.
