First off i know a lot of people wont buy from this company now, not even on the second hand market. Well i got this second hand for £10 and before anyone shouts IRONY yeah i know i'm wearing a Smiths shirt and playing Dead Kennedys on a Dano pedal.
Politics aside.
If your looking for a good cheap 'slapback' delay and buying Dano second hand is within your principles this is a great pedal.
George asked me about slapback the other day and i also did'nt think the current demo's do the pedal justice so i did one myself.
You cannot change the time, just the mix and amount of repeats. At a stretch you can get the East Bay Ray sound but its best suited to the Rockabilly/50's thing as far as tradition goes.
Roe/Noirie Tele as well. See what you think...
theyre pretty sweet, I think I bought mine for a fiver of Thom.
was great fun, you can mod them to work as a normal delay too which theyre really good at.
also can be circuit bend fairly easily so theres fun there too.
unfortunately I dropped my soldering iron when i was doing some more work to it and managed to knock off one of the capacitors - its now just a farty noise box, which is kinda fun but is a bit pointless.
Very cool demo, Fran; the NoiRoesquire sounds great. I bought one of these pedals some years ago and at some point did the full-wetness mod. This demo has got me wanting to dig it out of my Benecol Basketâ„¢.
This guy seems to have summed up the most effective mods in a much-clearer-than-the-one-I-followed post:
Just realized i've not commented on the Tele as others have.. cracking guitar, no bullshit, distinct sound (proper Tele tonez) and i fear i may have opened up a financial can of worms buying this. Before you can say "too many guitars again" i'll be hunting a Baja down.

excellent news, so I might be trying to play along to Fran by the weekend then

The owner of Danelectro donated at least $10000 towards proposition 8.

well now, that's unfortunate. I have a 1959 Dano U2, but it was bought from
a local used music store so Dano corp. didn't actually receive the money. I'll
use that excuse to make me feel better.
It depends how hardline you are but buying used I think is okay, as do most other people, as you're not profiting them directly. In fact buying used something which they currently sell is worse for them. I can't see myself buying new from them anytime soon.
