Danelectro DO1 Daddy-O Overdrive
What is it? Danelectro DO-1 Daddy-O overdrive, built in 1996. Got mine through ebay for a very reasonable price. Some natural road worn, sratches and paint chips. It’s good only either in this condition or as a mint. Quite happy with aesthetics. Inside, there are two boards screwed on the very sturdy design enclosure. I…
DOD FX33 BuzzBox
What is it? DOD FX33 BuzzBox, made in USA around 1995. Now here’s something you won’t see everyday. When something is worth overdoing, let the DOD engineers show you the real way of the beast. Design is just sick. The America’s Pedal article on the history of the design is a very good read. There…
DOD FX66 Flashback Fuzz
What is it? DOD FX66 (V) Flashback Fuzz. Made in china around 2000. DOD has only produced two fuzz pedals in all of its existence. That’s not much. Plus both fuzzes in DOD back catalog are not fuzzes in traditional manner. Neither of the designs are transistor based, nor rely on own unique design. Both…
Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer (Reissue)
What is it? Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer Reissue, made in japan. According to my guess on the serial, this is probably made in 2008. Got it used but in fair condition. This must be one of the pedals with most information written. Sad thing that the reissues aren’t getting as much attention. No one seems…

Pearl F-605 Electro Echo Analog Delay
What is it? Pearl Model F-605 Electro Echo Analog Delay, made in japan around 1977-79. Saw this unit for sale and couldn’t help myself. Even if it meant that i was to eat dry bread for the rest of the month. Price wasn’t too bad, and i wouldn’t sell this for the price i got…
Danelectro DJ9 Surf & Turf Compressor
What is it? Danelectro DJ-9 Surf & Turf compressor from Mini series. Finally. One of these that make the original look bad. Like i”ve pointed out on numerous occasions, to refine or rediesign existing design, the result should always be better than the original. Not much poin if it isn’t. Here we have your standard…
Danelectro DJ6 Pepperoni Phaser
What is it? Danelectro DJ-6 Pepperoni Phaser from the Dano Mini series. Standard mini plasticky box. Bought it for cheap and now that i have it – i can say that no-one should pay good money for this. Mine came in as horribly misbiased, so i needes to tweak it quite a bit to get…
