NO ONE OWNS ME___ I MAKE ZERO $ FROM THIS
It kept all the old favorites but the new things are IR's so you get dead accurate real rooms and spaces. Not their old school digitally modeled room. It has 12 sounds or is that family of sounds as it has 22 IR's
....<>^
CONCLUSION ___
Is it great??? I expect so. Fortunately their old tech sounds more than adequate and the specs and chips are about 3 generations old. There are dozens of good choices and more every day as some else's latest killer sounding
From Quebec Canada comes Dan Poirier with a creative flair for taking
the classics like a Rat and other hardclippers and classic Fuzz pedals and morphing them into something new. The results are pedals with a modern sensibility and features but never infringing on the organic qualities that gave those old tones such an earthy feel and tone.
The layout is Volume, Gain, Treble, Mids & Bass with a toggle to choose from 3 voicings.
CONCLUSION___
Hardly surprising that the pedal is favorite for many Metal genres. The pedal is very fat in any setting and has good
detail in harmonics and overtones. You can easily get a wall
of sound thing even at lower gain levels. The EQ is very effective. I liked the scoop sound this pedal can give you.
The highs have bite and are well defined and the lows
Do to a lot of brilliant hindsight we all found many cheap Dano's when we used are ears instead of our eyes sound great. They were from the get go clones that were meant to be clones. Ideally not one bit worse or indeed better. The philosophy was it is not broke so don't fix it. This has proved to be both true on some pedals but to the point of a lawsuit on another.
A total cloning is not possible in this case, it is rumoured to start as a Maxon DS-830 Distortion Master but the treble and bass became a simple Tone control. According to Josh Scott it matches nothing. Is it an original? Is nothing sacred anymore?
The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain.
OTHER STUFF
The price even new can be as cheap as $25 or $30 or can be heading towards $60. I expect since Dano does not have them on their site they offer a license agreement to a distributor. Availability is inconsistent so it is probable that the licence keeps changing hands. The pedal has been around since
2005and just won't go away,😠...LOL.

CONCLUSION___
Well the good news is it has a lot of character. It is more of
a medium gain OD but with a raw sound. It has a nice tight
aggressivesound great for rhythm playing. I expect it could
be used stacked to add bite to another OD. A Fuzz stacked
on it could be tightened up and have some bite added.
The owner of Danelectro is Steve Ridinger. He invented the Foxx Fuzz pedal. However he could not get his pedal company to fly he only could get small orders. He decided if he could buy the rights to a famous defunct gear company that he could sell enough to make a living. Danelectro was defunct and the company was non existent and so he bought the name cheap. He was right. His pedals sold out to stores in the hundreds. Big but, those same stores wanted the guitars. He new nothing about guitar building, lol. Yes as we all know he got that to fly. He recently designed the latest Dano pedal himself.
Summary? Over simplified for the real world? Every 6dB going up
or turned down is a reasonably perceived noticeable loudness. 95dB is nice level per instrument to make out a band with Drums, Bass and a Guitar. Nobody drowns out the other player. The drummer does not have to pull back a normal wack on his drum. A guitarist gets enough level for a bit of acoustic feedback from his speaker to get some sustain on a note. Only the singer needs a mic.
A drummer can still lift his cab without a helper.
120dB? One dB more and everyone ends up with their ears ringing.
95dB is a low tech number used in some communities to say just how loud a by-law officer will allow without a public execution
of the entire band. Others (and I do not make this up) allow
for the loudness of a vacuum cleaner when heard
outside your door.
YOU NEED
A sound level meter is a must have to win arguments, LOL.
Most of all to buy amps. If the amp puts out 95 dB with it set how you like the tone then your drummer will not wipe you out. He is the guy with the broken volume knob attached to his arms. Keep in mind you can turn down a bit and it can be OK but if you are drowned out you have an expensive piece of junk. If however it is too loud when it hits is sweet spot everyone will make your life hell.
If you drown out the rhythm section your audience will perceive the music as having no balz.
Wattage on an amps specs means F. all. If has to say it is in RMS wattage to be in the ballpark. 30 watts gets you by most times. More than 50 watts can be too loud.
The good news is a half decent meter does not need to be more than $20.00 USD. The one on the page is made by UNI-T a middle of the road brand name. I got mine on AliExpress for $15. Well madeenoughto kiss the floor on occasion and easy to use.
As one of the few of the great guitarists of the past it is always fascinating to hear something new.
This is certainly stylistically in keeping with Dave's love of a bit of the theatrical. Surprisingly it is a good solid tune not some cobbled together bits and pieces passed off as a song that is not even a shadow of their former work. In short not a pathetic last gasp from someone passed his best before date.
This is a total surprise. Amplitude were a Pro software company before they made any pedals. It is why they have such high quality sounds.
It has 20 presets of amps, cabs and effects.You can download all that the full size unit has and edit as well and you get free software to do it. Yes and it is capable with an interface to make your own models. In short it does all the 'Must Have' of what the full size model does and with the same quality of sound. Sounds that compare with Neural and Fractal? YES! This is a game changer!!!
I will update ALL day as new videos and info comes out!!!

I expect this pedal is already sold out and even if you do
Once I read thru the gobbly goop I was lucky enough to figure
out we have a Green Russian Muff and a Tube Screamer. It is two of the companies pedals combined into one pedal.
The layout has a Gain and Tone for each pedal. Volume is for both sides and Blend determines which side is loudest. Both sides have a silicon clipping diode and LED for overkill distortion.
CONCLUSION___
A lot of noises good and bad. The ts side is a bit thin using the silicon diode. The LED predictable gives it a Metal vibe. The Muff sounds like a good basic Muff and with the LED you get a full blown Doom thing. I feel the blend is its secret sauce. It can make good better and the unuseable turned into the just right.
I have a Muff, the Boss ts best know as an SD-1 OD.
I also have a great EQ and a Rat to throw into the mix.
In short stacking separate pedals does much more.
Big but ...on a smaller board this could be a good
