Dano mini pedals

I'd like to here some comments on the new mini pedals from Dano. I got two of them for birthday/ fathers day presents. One is the pastrami overdrive, sounds more like a fuzz , but sounds good for rock or at lower settings I used it for solo work in a blues band. Cranked up through my Bassman it gets pretty nasty, with all kinds of odd harmomics. The other is the peperoni phaser, one knob phase 90 type unit. Again sounds good. Does everything you would expect a phaser to do. No true bypass but I can't here any change in tone with them in line. Overall great little analog (I think) pedals. You can't beat the prices and they fit anywhere. (gig bag , case etc) Any one else have experience with these ? Later Jim

Sweetfinger	I think there's some posts on Aron's forum about these.

djfish	I also recieved one for fathers day. I got the reverb(corned beef I think). I am quite surprised how nice it sounds through my 67 Bandmaster which needed some reverb.

GM	Also received a Corned Beef Reverb for Father's Day. Great reverb for my Bassman, with the 9V battery. Huge HUMMMMMM with a generic wall-wart, though. I guess I'll have to try to build one of those pedalboard power supplies now.....

I tried out the corned beef reverb for about 10 minutes in a store, but didn't like it. Can't really explain why, it decayed strangely (almost 'flickered').

On the other had, I just got a Daddy-O overdrive (one of the original regular size pedals) today for $35 used (almost mint). It sounds great in front of my tweed deluxe clone with the level all the way up, drive at 9 oclock, treb+bass at high noon and mids at 9 oclock or so. Adds a tiny bit of drive and compression, pulls a little mids out, and is very dynamic and touch sensitive. My first 'distortion' pedal and I like it a lot. Plus, these pedals are cheap and seem to be built to last.

Cole	The Daddy-O is from the first series of Danelectro pedals, these were priced around $65-85 new. The latest ones seem to be aiming at the Ibanez Soundtank price-point, $50 and below.

Yes, you're right. My original post said of the Daddy-O

"one of the original regular size pedals"

I should have made that clearer. I just wanted to throw in my good impression of this particular Danelectro Pedal, in light of the topic. But, you're right, it's not a mini pedal and not priced the same. I'm sorry if I implied that it is in the same series as the new ones.
