Members brandass Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 New to the pedal game. Now have a few: BBE Main Squeeze compressor, Danelectro Fish 'n Chips EQ, DigiTech Bad Monkey OD, Danelectro French Toast octave/fuzz, Guyatone MD-3 delay. Had the Danelectros first, and they worked fine in front of a couple of ultra-cheap amps (Peavey Audition 110 and Danelectro Honeytone). Put them in front of my new Vox AD30VTXL and they HISSSSSSS. All the pedals do to some extent, but the Danelectros are way bad. Order doesn't seem to matter, though I'm still playing with it. No effects loop in the amp. Any obvious next steps? Maybe a noise suppressor? Or ditch the Danelectros? Prefer not to do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brandass Posted April 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 OneSpot, all of them. I've got separate ACs for some of the pedals, so I could put the Danelectros on those if you think it'd help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crxsh Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 I've never had problems with my FnC ... so, ditch the French Toast?? It has a noisy reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brandass Posted April 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 They worked great in front of the cheaper amps. I don't think the amps' tone was so bad you couldn't tell the difference - this is a very obvious increase in hiss, it almost drowns out everything else. Is there some setting I should know about? I remember someone mentioning an internal trimpot in one of the Dano pedals, but don't remember which one and what it was for, and now I can't find that thread.

Members Uma Floresta Posted April 1, 2008 Members Share Posted April 1, 2008 I've never known Danelectro pedals to be noisy - no more than any other pedals, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
