Danelectro FAB Pedal Line The older Danelectro effects are some of the most sought after effects on the used market, and represent some incredible forward thinking in a relatively stagnant time in the industry; with pedals such as the Free Speech mini talk box, and the Back Talk reverse delay. They aren’t the prettiest, but they do have a nice heft and a quality to them. The FAB line is a complete regression, utilizing the same enclosure, but with a unabashedly plastic enclosure and lazy labeling. Danelectro Shift Daddy Putting a flame job on anything is never a good idea, ‘nuff said. Danelectro Trip L Wah While you can see our friends at Danelectro were trying to push the envelope, this is a perfect example of going too far. Like the aforementioned flame job on the Shift Daddy or the snakeskin on the Viper Vibe, putting leopard and our zebra print on anything at all in this day and age is always an inexplicable design choice.
