First Look - Danelectro The Breakdown

[@patrickrichards1549]

Apparently the answer to the question "how many dirt pedals do I need?" is still "one more."

[@sandrosadhukhan]

Yes

[@sanborns]

Nice review, Danelectro is amping up their line of products very well. Keep it up!

[@stevenmgyori3826]

Those are some great tones John! Thanks for sharing brother and PG! Be Well!

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

If it's good enough to go on Joe Perry's board right next to his Klon Centaur, it's good enough for me.

[@markferguson3745]

His tech seems top notch.Has the board of a much younger, and hungrier, player.

[@Sam-Oht]

Man, you're great at what you do! Keep on the great demos!

[@tomthumb4325]

Great sounds from a great player

[@raykay72]

Bloody hell! That's some range...from boost to fuzz? I'm digging it man. Thanks a bunch for the review!

[@maggieo]

Hey John, you convinced me to get one! Oh, and it loves the P-90s in my Rivolta Combinata; what a great combination. PS: Between watching you and Marty Stewart, I want a B-Bender SO BADLY!!!

[@professorhamamoto]

Demos are so much better now that the mic'ing is tight and the fine playing is right there.

[@namebrandmason]

It's like a fuzz, but it sounds like it almost doesn't want to distort. A little bit of actual blown speaker. I like it.

[@Mark70609]

John loves his B bender. He is a good example of a country player. I think Jimmy Page has a stack of gear at his disposal, I don’t know if he used it often.

[@markferguson3745]

It def has the lower sustain and crippling sag at higher settings; the eq becomes all important, with that tonal push/ pull. Is good as an always on, with something 808 to front or rear for a little midrange diversity.Used 2 settings consistently without touching it much.Worth checking out, being a little bit different,-but thought the Walrus 385 does the vibe a little better.

[@wls64]

... also jack plate turned backward like ol' Bill Kirchen "Hot Rod Lincoln" setup?

[@MuscleDad420]

Haha cool I saw that video too and nobody else has ever done this with their Tele good eye

[@namebrandmason]

@@MuscleDad420 I am a nobody, but I have always had my Tele set up like this. It makes more sense to me. But I'm also in that minority that actually use the volume knob on their guitar.

[@MuscleDad420]

mason s. Plenty of people have set up their Teles like that. Fools see one Stewmac video of Bill Kirchen and think he was the first and only person to do it. The internet is a mistake.

[@wls64]

@@MuscleDad420 I am so glad to find out that you KNOW IT ALL. THANKS! pffft

[@michaelangeloGA]

I literally just sold my little yellow danelectro tremolo. Those little dinky pedals all sounded great. I'll never let go of my auto wah from that line.

[@versnellingspookie]

Why'd you sell it?

[@michaelangeloGA]

@@versnellingspookie I was made an offer I couldn't refuse. A trade in fact.

[@maggieo]

I have three French Toast fuzzes, so I never run out. I even use the plastic safety covers.

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Great playing John . . .

[@deathbysonar]

Just on 1 with the boost sounds very Rolling Stones with the nice reverb on the Blues Jr.

[@dionr1168]

Nice, but *will it chug?*

[@lukasohlsson4120]

Dion R a test for the Swede.

[@RadityoPramAdi]

I second that.

[@Braglemaster123]

What’s Chug ???

[@godfreydaniel6278]

@@Braglemaster123 - You don't want to know...

[@philipcarollo7721]

There's an original UD50 up on Reverb for $695. It's so much bigger than it had to be - the components take up very little room. It's foot pedal controlled like a wah-wah. There's a video.

[@sfear6]

will it chuggg?

[@chrisgrabowski2678]

You were a bit up against for the comparison, but you did a great job with what the pedal does on it's own. If I played more rockin' songs from The Who, this would be a must buy. Peace, ChrisG

[@chrisgregory1160]

Great little pedal

[@beanotraffini681]

Sounds like Jimmy P's tone in "Dazed & Confused," don'tcha think?

[@danieldesjardins6615]

No. Jimmy was using the Tone Bender on this tune, but probably used this thing on a lot of other stuff!

[@DelReiRock]

What’s the difference between this and the Roebuck? Looks like Roebuck is an update of Breakdown....

[@Donato8nacho]

Del Rei Rock Roebuck is a clone of the Ibanez mostortion from late 80’s early 90’s it’s a distortion whereby the breakdown is a boost/drive albeit it gets into dist/fuzz ness in mode 5-6

[@DelReiRock]

@@Donato8nacho Thanks for the info, man!

[@wls64]

is that a B - bender he's playin?? 0_o

[@samuelrutherford8107]

Yep

[@johnbohlinger]

YEs. Love the bends

[@tomasotreasaigh111]

@@samuelrutherford8107 I think he is just bending it himself? How else would he bend the b? I didnt notice him press anything...

[@samuelrutherford8107]

B bender bends the string by pulling guitar strap, not pressing anything

[@solarflaresmusic9267]

what kind of pick ups are in your Les Paul?

[@bradleyshuppert3393]

Almost a tweed sounding pedal on certain things. Thank God it works well using your volume knob. Most pedals that model a vintage sound crashes as you turn down because the chip that they sound was burnt to wants to see full impedance input from the guitar. Line 6 is a classic example of turning down the volume knob and losing all articulation and the amp / pedal becomes spitty and nasal….. I love this pedal!!! Everyone who demos this has sold me on it.

[@whiskerbiscuit6674]

Why are there poop stains on it?

[@noname.___]

Its made that way to look old

[@nekot9274]

Any link with the Angry Troll?

[@robertkroberjr.157]

Nice! Would love to see Samantha Fish playing one of those! Any chance of donating one to her?😁

[@jimduffy9773]

I'll bet Samantha can afford one.

[@wangbar1]

Is it true bypass?

[@didierpapon7115]

you forgot trying the gretsch ! make an other video with the black falcon , pleeeeaaaasssse !

[@DMSProduktions]

1st look? This has been out for ages!

[@premierguitar]

First Look for Bohlinger/PG!

[@DMSProduktions]

@@premierguitar A bit behind the times hey?

[@MrAMF50]

I want one.

[@tomasotreasaigh111]

Lmfao @ 7:48 he shows it and says it looks reliced! It does but those 2 brown patches look like somebody stepped in shit and then stepped on the pedal!

[@GuitarJawn]

To me, the relic pedal idea is absolutely dumb

[@GuitarJawn]

@Ulf Knudsen Nice one!

[@thejack0fhearts43]

* pic of Milky Way galaxy with “you are here” marker *

[@8bit580]

Danelectro's style with their products was always old school, so they get a pass. A Boss relic would suck

[@HBSuccess]

If you want a pedal with the paint worn off of it - go play 2500 gigs with it.

[@Lanearndt]

it's just a graphic design touch, it's not relic'd per se.

[@iliasliakos6692]

for a while I thought this guy and Rick Beato were the same person

[@DMSProduktions]

LOL! Both of Italian extraction, that's about it!

[@LIHPIT]

They are Russian cousins

[@DMSProduktions]

@@LIHPIT Yes, well Russians LIKE a bit of incest!

[@tulo3513]

If I need an overdrive tone I would use an overdrive pedal. I see no reason to hace a knob with "clean" for boost my guitar signal and "overdrive" for dirty sound.

[@juanvaldez5422]

Why does it look like it’s got poo stains on it? Wait, are we “relic’n” pedals now? SMFH, I’m out

[@tomasotreasaigh111]

Yep, its been said countless times on every review of this pedal "You got shit on your shoe".

This guy talks too much

[@jojokeo]

Hillbilly licks are your crutch, break free once in while. Is it even possible for you? How lame when demo’ing a dirt pedal.

[@peteytwofinger]

i know i am gonna come off like a jag off but hillbilly licks make my skin crawl .

[@calinguga]

@@peteytwofinger you, not so much, but jojokeo here, definitely a jag off

[@JohnsDough1918]

By that logic, playing in any style is a crutch.

[@jojokeo]

says the jag off with nothing to offer anyone on a fake youtube account

[@markferguson3745]

Actually thought they are refreshing, compared to most of tube demos.
