Members DylanWilde Posted October 27, 2005 Members Share Posted October 27, 2005 So which one of these is actually overall better, and which one is the best deal for the money? I am really interested in these two pedals, and I am wondering if it is worth the extra money to get the Tape Reel, or I should just simply get the DanEcho, as many seem to love it.

Members riffdaddy Posted October 28, 2005 Members Share Posted October 28, 2005 I prefer the Wasabi Forward/Reverse to either of these, primarily because of the flexibility. My second choice would be the Reel Echo, primarily because I like the sound quality of it more than the DanEcho or the Wasabi. The DanEcho would be my third choice, but it's still a helluva pedal. I'll probably end up with all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris Nuccio Posted October 28, 2005 Members Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'd probably say exactly what he said. Though I do prefer the tone of the Dan-Echo and Reel a bit more than the Wasabi, I still think the wasabi is the most practical delay and it does sound great.

Members papa taco Posted October 28, 2005 Members Share Posted October 28, 2005 I have a Danecho I leave on all the time for a very subtle delay at the end of my chain. A faux reverb of sorts. It's a nice sounding pedal. taco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wasabi is not the best-sounding of the three--just the most flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lorax Posted October 29, 2005 Members Share Posted October 29, 2005 the Dan Echo is pretty amazing....It has become my delay of choice for soloing....I have a DD3 I use for more "specialized" or longer dealys....but the Dan Echo is just perfect....I love analog delays and this sounds very close and for the price - well, its simply in a class by itself, IMO.....My favorite pedal right now....

Members Chriss Posted October 29, 2005 Members Share Posted October 29, 2005 I have a Dan Echo and a Dano PB&J. I actually like the PB&J better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tocs100 Posted April 28, 2006 Members Share Posted April 28, 2006 Wht are the sizes of the Dan Echo and the Reel Echo? (I seem to recall a pic of the Dan Echo as a big, light blue thing...pedalboard pics for reference anyone?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mel Cooley Posted April 28, 2006 Members Share Posted April 28, 2006 If you have to settle for Dano, the Dan Echo is the best sounding and most problem free of them. It's still a flimsy piece of {censored} though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I seem to recall a pic of the Dan Echo as a big, light blue thing...pedalboard pics for reference anyone?) I have both. Actually, the Dan-Echo is sort of a lavender colour. It's bigger than a BOSS box; more the size of a Mojo Vibe. The Reel-Echo is bigger than an ADA Flanger...ahem..."Reel Estate"(No pics, but that should give you a refrence.) That being said, they both sound great. These boxes manage to catch the Tape vibe rather well, without all the problems. The slider on the Reel-Echo is easier to adjust on the fly; in fact it's sort of set up like an Echoplex. The warble effect doesn't sound so hot on a SS Amp; it's best thorough a tube amp. There's more knobs on the Dan-Echo, and harder to adjust on the fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
