This post marks 13th Colorless Writing, which also mens that i’ve written my reviews/analysis on 130 pedals so far. To be honest, i’m not…

Digitech DSB Screamin Blues
What is it? Digitech Screaming Blues Overdrive/Distortion from “D”, or “Distortion” series. Made in china around mid 00’s. When DOD seized to produce the later versions of the famous overdrives like FX50B, their closest successor would be the DOD FX102 Mystic Blues overdrive. When DOD seized to exist, the next step for the design was…
Ibanez DDL20 Delay III
What is it? Ibanez DDL20 Delay III from Power series. Made in japan around mid 80’s. I should count the Ibanez delays. Yup. At least 18 different delay units are listed at the Effectsdatabase. Sure, this includes all the units from different series since 70’s, but that’s still a lot of delays. The features on…
Marshall GV-2 Guv’nor Plus
What is it? Marshall GV-2 Guv’nor Plus. Made in china around early 00’s. Don’t know if there is any official name for this series of pedals, so i’m calling it “Small metal series”. The original Guv’nor design was a bit of a hit. Not in least due to Gary Moore, who was doing the best…
Pearl PH-03 Phaser
What is it? Pearl PH-03 Phaser from Sound Spice series. Made in japan around early 80’s. This is one if those boxes i managed to buy off from mr. Lindèn and it came with reasonable price too. The unit is very lightly used and it even has its own retail box with minimal wear. These…
DOD FX91 Bass Overdrive
What is it? DOD FX91 Bass Overdrive from DOD FX-series. Made in US around year 2000. No serial or battery door in tact, even though this late enclosure version has the door attached with a rod. Bass overdrives are a fun genre. I’ve seen a few and nearly all of them are pretty standard overdrive…
Danelectro DJ-15 Chicken Salad Vibrato
What is it? Danelectro DJ-15 Chicken Salad Vibrato from Mini series in plastic housing. Made in china around mid 00’s. Where tuners and couple others in this mini series are just bad, there are a number of great units. This one is the greatest deal. Cheap vibrato effects are scarce, so when Dano released their…
Danelectro DTE-1 Reel Echo
What is it? Danelectro DTE-1 Reel Echo. Made in china in late 90’s. Talking about action packed pedal. The desktop housing is rather big, but i’d call this stylish. For the visual design, features and general build quality, this is really one of those must have Dano boxes. Even the surf green color is pleasing….
EHX Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker
What is it? Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi w/ Tone wicker. Made in NYC, USA. According to the serial number, this unit has been manufactured in 2013. A Big Muff with added features? Sure i had to get me one. It’s not that often that i buy pedals as new, but when my interest is…
Danelectro DJ-14 Fish & Chips 7-Band EQ
What is it? Danelectro DJ-14 Fish & Chips 7-band graphic EQ from Mini-series. Made in china around mid 00’s. The first thing that comes to mind is the Boss GE-7. Could this be one of those simple redesigns that feel and work like the design that it mimics? Sure does feel and work like it….
