Danelectro: The Breakdown™

[@pandak1n]

"clean" tone had me in stitches😂

[@Splattle101]

Best demo of this pedal on the tube. Well done! Great playing, too.

[@markthespark6240]

Sounds awesome Brett. Great playing as always.

[@BrettKingman]

Chees, Mark!

[@Colinjohnmusic]

Killer mate, sounds fab, especially with that MJT . Yessah!

[@haldumille5594]

Great sounding pedal, and simple too! Even my drummer was able to figure this one out!! I couldn't get into that first guitar's design, but that Tele was like coming home!

[@skittlybeepbop13]

People are always mad at the whole "clean tone". In terms of pedals I'm pretty sure they mean no pedals. Just the amps tone.

[@michaeld.mahoney9106]

Well done review and demo. Thanks for your efforts. Best wishes.

[@gravy_brain]

that tele is Sweet. cool pedal and St. Vincent too.

[@tjnugent62]

When you played on position one, the words out of my mouth were, "Good enough for me" as well. Spooky.. Thanks for sharing. Dano makes great pedals for a small number of pesos.

[@laotzu4340]

Thanks for yet another awesome demo Brett! Purchased one of these yesterday and it absolutely slays with my telecaster and a 68 Deluxe Reverb RI at verge of break-up. I should add that this pedal takes fuzz units really, really well. I've been through about a dozen OD units and this one is the only one that can handle feral beasts such as the RM Axis and the Dba Fuzz War without collapsing into a black hole and still retaining a pleasing mid range.

[@ivanmartinez2513]

Do you put the Breakdown before or after the fuzz?

[@grahamhodgson9154]

I got one and I have to say it (like me) is simple and (unlike me) just makes the both the single coil and humbucker guitars I have just sound more betterer :) I can't explain it any other way.

[@bartlebob]

The clean channel lol

[@ModularLanding]

I like that you’re still playing the St Vincent. I’m still digging mine a lot. Great and unique guitar.

[@tiki_trash]

I thought that guitar sounded really good right off the bat.

[@pirhala]

Sounds heavenly!

[@markferguson3745]

The St Vincent is,indeed, THE shit. Dan Electro, back in the game; the Eisenhower is a great+ fairly unique fuzz. Breakdown a beautiful thing with the tele.

[@jonasdeoliveira965]

Wwwow bad ass pedal

[@nickf9392]

Well, your smiling so it must be good!!

[@johnfritzenjr.1240]

Sounds great 👍

[@BrettKingman]

Thanks, John!

[@daijones101]

Sounds good, love that crazy guitar too

[@gernblanston2242]

Great demo, I love the tones here. With the relic look I guess all used ones will be "mint" on Reverb LOL.

[@thierrygoli4271]

Wonderful playing as usual. And awesome tones. Just one comment. It seems that the "clean" setting of the amp is rather at the edge of breakup. How would sound this pedal with a real clean amp? Im on the edge of buying it. Thank you. You should demo the supro boost on 18v. In love with it.

[@ozuidema]

My question exactly😀

[@youngandrew66]

Great demo. Would this be a good 'always on pedal' for that clean/not clean blues rythm tone you can add a zen or something to for leads? Love delectro pedals and have used the transparent overdrive cool cat for years

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Always wanted to (one day) be 1st. ha, ha . . . I Forgot that you are Up in Australia. It's 1:15am here in NYC. Love your informative videos Brett.

[@BrettKingman]

Well then, congratulations on your inaugural firstiness! :D All the best to you and the NYC'ers!

[@ElmerSpuda]

It looks like Hanky the Christmas Poo did their ‘relicing’.

[@xplaneflightacademy9266]

Could be a good addition to my Red Special, what ya mean?

[@jonbenge2418]

Sounds great, but this is priced at $150 usd. Aren't Dano pedals supposed to be cheap? You can almost get 2 fulltone Fulldrive 2s for that.

[@BrettKingman]

Jon, I'm not sure where you're getting those figures but a visit to Fulltone's site proves otherwise, with all due respect. store.fulltone.com/products/full-drive2-v2-fd2-v2

[@Dooms98-p2k]

Got one from reverb priced at $110

[@jonbenge2418]

Brett Kingman I must be thinking used prices. I have a few of the FD2s and have never paid more than $90 for one. Love your demos and keep up the good work!

[@rockhead11]

Great stuff. Danelectro surprised me on this one. Puts the way overrated TubeScreamer to shame if you ask me.

[@jazzercaster4749]

Awesome! Have wanted to grab one of these since I saw them revealed at Namm, any idea where to buy them in Aus yet?

[@doctiberius2717]

Reminds me of my wayhuge Angry Troll, I'd like to A/B them 🤔

[@Matthew-e3u7r]

Would you say it qualifies as a treble booster?

[@kosmicwizard]

No

[@lolobuggah2670]

Your recordings always sound good. Where do you place the mic?

[@Elaleyelunivese]

A fuckin new classic was born?… like Danelectro Daddy O

[@LewWelchThePoet]

🤘👍🏿🚀

[@outdoorshack7541]

Sounds like Rush!

[@Cluless02]

Not sure if the Univox fuzz was what Pete Townshend used into the Hiwatts.

[@JimijaymesProductions]

Yeah he did but it's not this pedal it's the superfuzz same as the shin ea fy2 which is the basis of the boss fz2 loved by stoner/doom metal guys

[@MB-rv9dx]

Does it boost mids like a tubescreamer?

[@kosmicwizard]

No

[@tradbowseven]

Simple plexi box

[@ilovecops5499]

I like Doinelectro amplifiers

[@mathiasbaudry304]

Who the fuck is the "guitar god " that used that pedal ?

[@riffwizardsupreme]

acdc tones

[@timetraveler8777]

No

[@chipperwilliams7854]

Is this pedal buffered or true bypass ?

[@kosmicwizard]

True Bypass

[@teknical100]

Tele and Marshall then B*GG*r me!

[@mrnewty2]

Your clean is a bit dirty ,,

[@bastienbernard3654]

Sorry but it wasn't a clean tone to start with.. bit disappointed as i'd like to know how it could work also as a foundation pedal into a clean amp boosted by over drive pedals. :/

[@pizzapie4me]

That's not what this pedal is about. It's for that juicy saturation. This is the circuit that Page used on early Zeppelin records.

[@TheFunnyzach]

This pedal is MEANT for a slightly gritty clean ISH sound. Not full clean amps

[@DanielAquarian]

Boomering hard, this one.

[@michaelyolch79]

It's IMPOSSIBLE to hear the pedal properly when your "clean" channel is already distorted?!?!?! Sheesh.

[@jaredheld2672]

Michael Yolch everybody knows a overdrive sounds better when the amp is on the edge of break up

[@michaelyolch79]

@@jaredheld2672 Um...that's absolutely 100% not true whatsoever. Not even going to argue with you.

[@007Elvisofnazareth]

@@jaredheld2672 You are right. But man, that's not on the edge of breakup distortion here, that's crappy preamp master volume distortion. This amp is a bad choice for this pedal demo.

[@JimijaymesProductions]

@@michaelyolch79 this kind of classic boost pedal works way better with a cranked clean sound basically on the edge of crunch especially the sound that the single coils had. A dead ceab sound doesn't really suit this kind of pedal, rarely suits alot of drive pedals other than the more amp in a box pedals. Probably could of been a touch cleaner with the buckers though, but makes sense to me, now when people use a much heavier tone high gain to show an over drive its terrible in my opinion cos a clean boost and a mxr distortion + don't differ that much in those circumstances.

[@pizzapie4me]

Nah. This pedal was made exactly for how it was used in this demo.

[@matthewgrimm5383]

Your clean isn't really that clean

[@jonlohrenz5446]

Matthew Grimm the pedal isn’t meant for a clean amp

[@lolobuggah2670]

Duh. You apparently haven't learned about this yet.

[@chipperwilliams7854]

Is this pedal buffered or true bypass ?

[@kosmicwizard]

True bypass
