Heya All!
I was at a local shop the other day and saw some Danelectro FAB pedals on sale. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these. the site for them with audio samples can be found at http://www.danelectro.com/fab1.htm I am looking for some pedals on a tight budget and any feedback would be greatly appreciated Thanks much!

alrighty
I bit the bullet and bought a Danelectro FAB Echo pedal. short review.... Nice tone and effect Very easy to toggle on and off Looks and sounds cool However... Dirty dirty dirty while it sounds great, it adds a ton of noise to the line. My almost silent GRG170DX sounds like a power transformer when the pedal is in the line. I'd hate to see how much noise one gets with a full set set up **winces** for 27 bucks though and home practice... it'll probably do the trick for those on a budget.

I am still fiddling around to see if it's the pedal itself or if it's one of the patch cables. I suspect that the elcheapo patch cable I had in the line might be part of the culprit. Just gotta wait till payday. going to grab the FAB OD pedal and a 2nd quality cable and see what happens on payday and see if it hums the same way. Overall I can live with the hum, for what I paid..., I am not going to be too fussy, what can one expect for 27 bucks? ( 15 to 19 bucks US) I'm just surprised the depth and range of the effect is as good as it is. These will be a good addition to my son's rig when I finally find one for him... THEN I'll go to better gear meself All the best! G. -------------------- wanna save more money for gear?
