Unlike any other device, this pedal authentically simulated the breakup that occurs when a tub amp is run at full volume. Danelectro puts this classic effect in your hands... without damage to your financial portfolio.

Summary: Excellent value.
Comment: I have three of these Fab pedals now and love them all. They ARE great value at $15 a throw but they are also really nice pedals. This pedal produces a lovely warm, smooth, solid overdrive. I particularly love the sounds I can get when I play my Epiphone Les Paul through it. It's really easy to use - 3 knobs, and you can get a useful variety of tones and levels of OD with it. It's got a LOT of gain too!!!
Anyone who says you can only get good tone by spending a load of money is wrong in this case.
Yes the pedal is made of plastic but it is really heavy duty plastic and you'd have to be rather heavy footed to break it. It feels pretty robust to me. I tend to treat my equipment well anyway so can't see any issues with durability occuring.
All in all I'd recommend this to anyone! I think I might even buy the rest of the Fab pedal range actually!

Summary: Great pedal at a great price!
Comment: This was the first pedal I bought simply to experiment with. At 15$ you can't lose! Since receiving the item and playing with it for a few weeks I've been extremely happy for the money. Construction seems solid (though I'm not sure it would stand up on the road) and you can actually get some pretty decent tones out of this without it sounding extremely digital. My only problem is that the tone, OD, and level controls are on the back side facing away from you, they're easy enough to access though it's just annoying. In short, great buy, you won't be disappointed with this!

Summary: FAB pedals are a great inexpensive effects box
Comment: I checked out these little $15.00 pedals out at Guitar Center and was surprisingly impressed. They're very quiet and sound great. For someone who wants to explore effect processing, these are a great start. Same goes if you are just expanding your pedalboard like myself. The only cons are you can't see the setting of the knob from the top (but it does give you the experience of trusting your ears and not your eyes to create the right effects) and the footswitch is difficult to trigger if the box is sitting behind another pedal.
And to the review whining about not getting a battery with the pedal...WWWAAHHH WWAAHH WWAAHH!!!! Buy an adaptor!!
These are a great little pedals for the price!

Summary: You'd swear this was worth a whole lot more!
Comment: This unit is simply stunning: a beautiful, harmonic, warm rounded overdrive sound. Way better than any of the Boss boxes, check out the sound on the Dan Electro website.
I bought this based on sound not price, but that makes it all the sweeter.

Summary: Great Sound, Great Price!
Comment: I have 3 Danelectro Fab effects pedals. The sound I get from this overdrive pedal is much more than I thought I'd get for my starter collection. A couple, more expensive effects I purchased, made by another brand, don't seem to be any better than the Danelectro Fab.
The casing is a heavy duty plastic, not metal so I'm not sure how well it would hold up to stage use or someone with a heavy foot.
As for the comment about this pedal being a waste of time by another reviewer, most guitarists already know that they need to purchase an AC adaptor for a power source. Consider it a learning experience. Once you buy the adapter be sure to pick up a multi-plug cable if you want more than one effects pedal. This allows you to hook up several more plugs to the one AC adaptor. I now have 5 effects pedals hooked up to one energy source. Bought mine at The Guitar Center so I don't know if Amazon carries them.
Radio waves are everywhere and travel great distances depending on the tower they come from. I used to get a woman talking to truckers over her CB radio through my stereo. Talk to a friend who is an electrical engineer or someone at an electronics store about suggestions to cut down on or eliminate radio interference.
