One of my all time favourite pedals, there are so many ways of using the sound on sound and non-whooshy delay time slider that people don't know about that are really useful. Have been thinking about making a video exploring those features...
It's actually been discontinued for a while, but used ones keep popping up on ebay and Reverb. It's an awesome pedal, just takes up some space on the pedalboard. On the other hand, the fact that it's so big and that the controls are so accessible means that you can operate the most important controls with your foot while playing.
I have this Danelectro pedal, and I've had it for years. I have not thought about it, or seen a video about it in a looooooong time, until today. After watching several videos again, I'm still a bit confused about the "sound on sound" button and how it's supposed to be used. I keep seeing players state, "What you CAN do," and they all do something different. Such confusion is coming back to me from the last time I used it, probably back in 2010! I guess it's time to take it out. Wahi' Valleys
Have one now at $110.00 and shocked at it's bounce , tone . Will behave better in effects loop . Over drive , wah in the front . Yes Solid State is fuller !
Love this pedal. It's probably a bit bigger than necessary, but I find that the unusual form factor is part of its appeal and has made it something of an obscure cult item (among the few who know that it exists). Soundwise I think it's the best tape-style delay in its price range (obviously it's no El Capistan). Pity Danelectro discontinued this about two or three years ago. Bought mine used on ebay for a decent price and have it in heavy operation. Danelectro should seriously consider making an updated version of this.
It’s fun to do sound on sound and then play with the slider- you inevitably end up with a weird unreproducible rhythm that’s fun to jam along to especially on drums
they missed a trick with the sound on sound,it's best function is if you're playing with the repeats on halfway and over is that when you step on the sos switch it lets the delays trail off while still playing clean,whereas if you just turn the delay off there are no trails,very handy
It's too big, it doesn't have tap tempo, it looks kind of corny or cheap, changing the interval doesn't act like a real tape echo, but despite all this I keep mine and use it all the time because it just really sounds great--with clean and distorted guitars and with synth sounds of all types. It has a depth and complexity that does sound like the richness of analog and the 1500 ms delay is nothing to scoff at.
not so swampy but more so rockabilly but you brits can get pass on not knowing about our southern guitar sounds specifically...i only know Beatles, Clapton and Jimi Hendrix related British music information...syncopated
Dog chasing tail at 11:00

About 11:00 your dog went into self-oscillation.
Haha...yeah she self oscillates a LOT!!
😂
Keepin' it REEL... #OwnTheTone
Remake this lovely delay with tap tempo and I will buy it.
@@pastorkev777 forget tap tempo, I want some self oscillation!!!
I was thinking about picking one of these things up for a good price, and this video convinced me. Good work fellows!
Thank you…hope you will like it!!

Damn been looking forward to this. Sounds fucking great from the first few minutes I’ve listened so far.
Thanks D Addison ...it's a great Delay
Nice review. But I love the dog! She must be in more videos!?
That can be arranged
You can hear her in some of the podcasts too. Just a little jingle of the collar.
Hahahaha the dog 😂😂😂
The Sound on Sound thing is a bit like the Hold function on my Boss DD-5, and I can't find a use for that either.
I'm not sure how to use that either...
As soon as you put on the reverb the dog showed up, SHE’s got good taste!
Haha...SHE sure does
Really cool pedal and great demo guys! I'm new to your channel but will definitely take a look around.

The Danelectro Echo Reel online manual is not much help either. Wahi' Valleys
Just found and bought one of these in a Nashville guitar store for sale for only $120. I’ve been wanting one for years.
Good price...they are great...and the Spring King too...fantastic pedals!! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment Paul

Thanks Rare Form

I would love it if they did, plus added tap tempo.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHANGE THE DELAY SPEED WHILE THE 'SOUND ON SOUND' FUNCTION IS ON?
DOES IT EFFECT THE LOOP IN ANY WAY?
THANK YOU

You guys should stick to not demoing pedals.....such as here.
not so swampy but more so rockabilly but you brits can get pass on not knowing about our southern guitar sounds specifically...i only know Beatles, Clapton and Jimi Hendrix related British music information...syncopated
Even worse...we are not even brits
