Product Description

In the late 1970 s, a tiny effects maker in Japan produced a small quantity of what many believe is THE definitive distortion box. Delicious tonality. Highly responsive. Highly versatile. Recently a boutique maker has re-issued that box at $300+. Danelectro offers you sonic equivalence to the prized originals at an unbelievable price. You ll adore it.

20.00!!! You can't go wrong on this.......2007-03-24

Musicfriends, This is a fab item - For 20.00 You can't go wrong on this. Warm distortion and good controls. For me great studio/recording use but thats it. I would certainly not tour with it... its built cheap w. plastic housing and one circuit board squeezed in and funny enough the one piece rugged metal... is the bottom plate. Hello designers.... Metal around top and plastic on the bottom if you must. But anyways, bottom line great unit for 20.00 and sounds good very versatile.

IMMENSE value! Sounds WAY more expensive than it is!.......2006-12-19

I have an old classic 'Silvertone' tubed amplifier with reverb, used mainly for blues and some hard rock playing. I needed a low-cost solution to get a much fatter, overdriven sound with great sustain, and this 'Fab Distortion' pedal more than fits the bill. Using a Fender 'Telecaster' and an old Ibanez 'Roadster Series' guitar, I am able to get a cleaner sounding sustained sound good for bluesy hard rock, as well as a more overdriven, fuller metal crunch sound that works well for playing stuff like Rush, Sabbath, Dio, Schenker, Malmsteen, etc. This thing has amazing range and versatility for the money! My jaw dropped when I found out these could be had for under twenty bills!

Pedal made mainly of plastic, but seems sturdy enough, and sounds great!

Inexpensive FAB effects pedals are a great value!!!.......2006-09-26

I checked out these little $15.00 pedals out at Guitar Center and was surprisingly impressed. They're very quiet and sound great. For someone who wants to explore effect processing, these are a great start. Same goes if you are just expanding your pedalboard like myself. The only cons are you can't see the setting of the knob from the top (but it does give you the experience of trusting your ears and not your eyes to create the right effects) and the footswitch is difficult to trigger if the box is sitting behind another pedal.

And to the review whining about not getting a battery with the pedal...WWWAAHHH WWAAHH WWAAHH!!!! Buy an adaptor!!

These are a great little pedals for the price!

Great! Radio station problem can be fixed..........2006-04-16

This pedal showed up two days after I ordered it, and I only paid regular shipping. The sound is great and the price is unbelievable. To the person complaining about the radiostation, I had a similar problem, but that is not on account of the pedal, but a cheap amp. Simply turn down the level on the fab pedal, or, the presence on your amp. I considered many other pedals, but for this price and quality, I'm very glad I chose Danelectro. If you aren't convinced, head to the Danelectro official site, where you can here samples of how all their fab pedals sound like. Completely worth it!

And to those fustrated with the "power source" problem, this is typical electronic equipment. Pick up a nine-volt pack at the grocery store or Radioshack. No big deal, the quality and price make up for all of that!
