Musician Gear & Tech Discussion

You sound so mellow, mike. Do one like Billy Mays! I DARE ya!

hmmm, I'm getting a brainstorm... fuzzwow?


something like "you'd spend $30 a month on fuzz anyway, I dunno, this thing sells itself!"

LMAO

THAT's the spirit!

Take a hammer to all of those lesser pedals while you're at it, & wipe them off the table into the trash.

"You don't need ANY of these crappy old effects anymore! The Fuzz-Wow does it ALL! You want GAIN? I'll show you GAIN! SUSTAIN? Fuggetaboutit!

"Buy one today, & you also get this fancy handy plectrum-pack! That's right! You get ALL this for 12 easy payments of just $14.95 (plus shipping & handling)! Our operators are standing by. The first 15 callers also get this B-flat tuning fork!

"So say goodbye to that suitcase full of overdrives, & say hello to Fuzz-Wow, today!"

It slices it dices it totally shreds the compitition. And LOOK ! it even has a handy bottle opener for those stubborn import beers.

u guys r 2 funny!

u r hired for my marketing dept!

i dunno about taking a hammer to my other pedals tho... maybe just my danelectro ones

well I must have done something right cause I've sold everything I've listed so far within 3hrs of putting it up! yay me!

Way to go, mike!

Ooofoffffooo, DANELECTRO?

People stand a good chance of being beaten up for flashing that cheap junk round these parts.

danelectro = increased chance of cheap ass muso. (just kill yourself, it's quicker) lol

OMG, can you smell that?

Did some pedal just sh*t or wtf?

Introducing the pedal that is most likely to be thrown away after 1 use, the danelectro anything.. ta-daaa.. lol

Billy Mays will be selling them in Hell for 19.99 + s/h, because they show up broken. BTW NO REFUNDS in HELL ! MUHAHAHAHAAAAAA

I have 6 of them, Cap, around here somewhere. They may be cheesy lookin' but they always work for me, & I don't mind the tones I get from them.

seriously?

OMG.

I was dumb enough to buy 2 and I regretted it every day I had to use 'em.

They now reside at the bottom of the Raritan River.

don't laugh so hard guys...

dano transparent overdrive is actually a clone of a well known boutique pedal - the timmy ($150ish)

dano french toast is exact sm circuit as the foxx tone machine, in fact the owner of dano designed the original.

dano overdrive (creme one) is a straight up ts808 clone.

admittedly, some dano stuff is junk (grilled cheese tremolo), and all of it is cheap: cheap pots, cheap jacks, cheap knobs... but believe it or not a few of their pedals don't sound so bad.

I once bought a "high end" dano pedal that was s'posed to make your axe sound like a sitar...it wasn't even close...I think it was a ring modulator...in any case it was way weird & I didn't care for it...the others are kinda nice, though

Wow if you think of it, please itemize the good DANELECTRO pedals.

I may even venture to buy one if I am desperate.

I know we had a terrible time with a NEW bass by Danelectro.
The sob wouldn't setup at all. We finally had to return it to where he bought it, as it was PURE JUNK.

Even the cretins at the ripoff music store never said a word. I think they knew all along that is was crap.

Moral : Never buy a bass for how it looks. It's irrelevant.

yeah, like I said, even the pedals they make that are direct clones of other pedals are cheap quality.
on the other hand I have a dano u2 and it's pretty decent still (neck).

afa list of good dano pedals... the only ones I know of are the transparent overdrive = The Timmy Clone
the frech toast octave dist = foxx tone machine
I believe the daddy o was a marshal guv'ner clone
the fab overdrive is a modded out tubescreamer...

a short google search on the subject might provide more.
cheers,

Mr. Mike, your gear seems to be top notch. So, it's just a matter of presentation. Here are a few pointers to consider if you plan on making more video ads/reviews:

1. Get a digital cam: no less than 6.1MP.
2. It's good that you used a separate mic for your commentary, but I think your rig was mic'ed. Record your audio directly into your computer.

3. Edit your video. No offense, but when I'm looking for a pedal review, I don't wanna waste time listening to yappity yap. Get to the point or edit the video til you GET to the point.

4. Play a lick clean and then turn your pedal on quick and play the same lick for easy comparison.

5. Fully showcase the pedal's capabilities playing 1 or 2 riffs while using all combinations of the knobs.

6. YouTube - When you upload the video, give it a fitting title [e.g.: "MesaAZ Distortion/Overdrive Boutique Pedal Review"]... also in the "Tags" section, add stuff like: guitar, pedal, dist, od, etc. In the description, tell the viewer why this pedal kicks ass and how they can contact you if they wanna buy their own.

IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ANY OF THE ABOVE, CHECK OUT THIS CRAZY MAN WHO GOES BY THE NAME "gearmanndude" ON YOUTUBE. HE DOES IT RIGHT.

yeah, like I said, even the pedals they make that are direct clones of other pedals are cheap quality.

If I had one I would leave it on all the time and stick it in the loop of a bypass box. That way I could avoid having it fall apart after stepping on it more than 10 times.
