Danelectro delays

Danelectro Vintage Echo DE-1, Danelectro DJ-17, Danelectro DJ-3 Slap Echo, FAB Echo DD-4 or Danelectro Wasabi Forward Reverse Delay.
Which one of these you recomend for warm ol style slapback echo.

You forgot the Danelectro Wasabi Rock-A-Bye delay - which is intended precisely for doing warm old-style slapback echo. Works very well for me!

whiskeytown · July 26th, 2008, 06:53 PM

yeah I forgot, and maybe thats exactly what Im lookin for.

get the big purple one... it sounds great. I have a bunch of delays and that one always pleasantly surprises me.

Danelectro Vintage Echo DE-1 refers to the DAN-Echo....which is an AWESOME pedal! Great tone and several options for settings...a very versatile pedal!

I love my Dan-Echo much more than many delays that cost a heck of a lot more!!

I've seen 'em used for as cheap as $20 or $25.

If you just want a slap back, the FAB is a great $15 pedal (new). The delay time is set. It does slap back...it's a one trick pony but it's really nice for slap back. I love my FAB Echo with my Gretsch. I play Johnny Cash tunes and it feels right.

The Fab sounds great with overdrive.

Dane Echo! The only pedal I regret selling. Used to be in a rockabilly band and it was fantastic.

Another vote for a Dan Echo. I've had one for Lord knows how many years and it's a great delay and gets a very nice slapback.

If I have to pick from Dano pedals then the Dan-Echo it is for me too.

Well, count me in, too.

I've had a Dan Echo since they came out about a decade ago.

There's been PLENTY of opportunities to "upgrade" it with other pedals, but I simply have no need.

I should preface this by saying that I use it 98% of the time for slapback, but I love being able to tweak the delays. Analog tones with digital versatility.

On occaision, I'll use it for very long delays, a la looping instrumental stuff (think Bill Frisell and you'll be on the right track). I like that I can tweak the repeats to a very fine line between precise digital and fuzzy analog.

I love using it for the intro to Brown Sugar.
