Members ILOVEMYFENDER Posted June 30, 2012 Members Share Posted June 30, 2012 New modded pedal day! I had this Danelectro Daddy O stock for awhile, it really just sucked. Conveniently enough, my uncle (who taught me how to play) is the guitar tech at my local guitarcenter. Because my uncle is so awesome, he has recently started offering pedalboard wiring and pedal modifications, and will often take crappy used pedals and mod them for fun, and sell them back at the same price. It's awesome. So I took my Daddy O into him, and told him to make it a nice transparent overdrive/distortion. He came back the next day with this: He gave it germanium diodes that result in asymmetrical clipping. It's basically an SD-1 with a three band EQ and a ton of gain. It's awesome. And this mod was done completely locally and cost me $20. With the epic paint job, I think it was money well spent. Here's a clip: [video=youtube;_DuNOAFau0o] (uploaded straight from GarageBand for iPad to YouTube, hence the picture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitardustin Posted July 1, 2012 Members Share Posted July 1, 2012 $20 for pedal mods? Hellz yeah. What guitar center does your Uncle Work at? I'm assuming it's also in Armpit, CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ILOVEMYFENDER Posted July 1, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 1, 2012 Bakersfield, California guitar center. And he's never done international work, if you're serious shoot me a PM and I can talk to him about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ILOVEMYFENDER Posted July 1, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 1, 2012 It actually gives my Plexidrive a run for the money. $200 vs. $45 (coupled with the money I spent to buy the daddy o in the first place) and the Beard Face has more gain and overall rockiness.
