Danelectro DDS-1 Sitar Swami

Posted on 13/12/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro DDS-1 Sitar Swami “Sitar Emulator” from 60’s series, made in china in late 90’s. I noticed one for sale for a very good price, and the Danelectro enthusiast i am, i just couldn’t let the opportunity slide. These are quite rare and special too. Forget the “Sitar Emulation” part. If you’re…

Danelectro DC-1 Cool Cat Chorus

Posted on 10/11/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus, later 9V version, made in china around 1999-2000. Earlier versions were fed with 18V supply and supposedly sound even better. My unit is the later one with standard 9V input, making it very common and easy to obtain chorus box.. Got it for a reasonable price a long…

Danelectro CC-1 Chorus

Posted on 9/11/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro CC-1 Chorus from Cool Cat series, made in china around 2004. Got this unit used for a very reasonable price. That reasonability ended once i openend the parcel. Bottom was velcroed and the type plate was long gone. Those do not contribute to the sound in any way, but i’m usually…

Danelectro DO1 Daddy-O Overdrive

Posted on 22/10/2013 by mirosol

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…

Danelectro DJ9 Surf & Turf Compressor

Posted on 1/10/2013 by mirosol

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

Posted on 1/10/2013 by mirosol

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…

Danelectro DJ1 Pastrami Mini Overdrive

Posted on 1/10/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro DJ-1 Pastrami Mini Overdrive. First in Dano’s mini boxes. Got this from a friend. Thanks Mr. Järvi! Not bad at all. Like many in this series, the soldering leaves me wanting more quality, but otherwise there’s not that much bad to say about this. The schematic can be found on FSB….

Danelectro DJ10 Grilled Cheese Distortion

Posted on 21/09/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro DJ-10 Grilled Cheese distorion. Had no information on the design whatsoever when i got this unit. Should probably have done some reading before paying 20€ for it. As distortions go, there is one sub-genre that i find no joy in playing with. This one sinks to that genre. Fixed wah distorion….

Danelectro D4 Fab Echo

Posted on 19/09/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro D-4 Fab Echo. Cheapest thing made in china. Came in a trade for next to nothing. I usually have nothing againt using plastic enclosures. And as i stated on Fab Metal post, the build quality here is astonishingly bad. This particular unit doesn’t quite reach the horrifying things inside Fab Metal,…

Danelectro D3 Fab Metal

Posted on 9/09/2013 by mirosol

What is it? Danelectro D-3 Fab Metal. Fab series, made of plastic and probably the cheapest thing you’ll ever see. For some reason i seem to gather metal distortions even i’m not a big fan of metal music or the guitar sounds commonly affiliated with it. I do think it’s fun to play with metal…

here used to be a short description of me. however, it wasn't exactly accurate anymore. so i'm replacing it with this placeholder for now. and yes. it's been a long time since my last post. but let me assure you. i'm very much still alive.

Found an error? One of my assumptions is dead wrong? Something else is just not right? Let me know! Leave a comment to a post, or drop a line to mirosol at kapsi dot fi.

I do mods, repairs and custom builds too. For inquiries, use the email address above.
