Fat and warm vintage distortion, priced for players.

In the late '70s a tiny effects maker in Japan produced a small quantity of what many believe is the definitive distortion box. It had delicious tonality and was highly responsive and versatile. Recently, a boutique pedal maker reissued that box at $300+. Danelectro offers you the D-1 Fab Distortion as a sonic equivalent to the prized original. It's equipped with Level, Tone, and Distortion controls. You'll adore it.

Danelectro D-1 Fab Distortion Features:

• Warm vintage distortion
• Responsive
• Versatile
• Level, Tone, and Distortion knobs

It's red, cheap, and sounds like a million bucks. Do you need another reason? Buy it today!

I got this only yesterday to use with my new Raven RG-20 combo and I was pleasantly surprised at how great the tone on this lil' guy is. I wouldn't say that this is for a Metal player but if you're into stuff like AC/DC or Led Zeppelin like I am, then this is the pedal for you. I also ordered the Danelectro adaptor to go with it because I don't know how much batteries last on this and I really rather not find out. This is great for a beginner or for anyone on a low budget.

This is a decent pedal to start out on. the price is really good and the quality is too. This was my first pedal, i play it through a peavey amp and an AXL marquee, and it sounds really good if it is tuned right. deffinantly a must buy if your looking for a good pedal for an amazing price.

I got this pedal a while ago and it is great. This is my first pedal (I have endured just my amp for a while) and it is great. It gives nice sharp distortion and the price cannot be beat. Get this thing.
