Members zinzin Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 i am looking for a cheap but good sounding "classic rock tone" overdrive pedal. i want to use it for my vox pathfinder 15 w -> 2x10 cab. the vox is one channel and i need clean and dirty channel switching for some songs. wouldn't hurt though if the overdrive pedal could act like a boost too. so my search was narrowed down to the Danelectro Daddy-O and DOD 250 Overdrive Preamp. both are cheap, 'round 40 bucks new. what are your toughts? is the DOD more boost as overdrive pedal? does the DOD differ hard from the "grey" one? is the Daddy-O good enough or would another dano, eg the wasabi overdrive be better? do you know other good n' cheap overdrive boxes? go!

Members bieke Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 DOD 250 ! or a Mig*Boost (lmittle more expensive though) but cheap and good boost/OD is the Rocktron Austin Gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members axe2 2001 Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 never used the dano, but I've tried ... modded SD-1, DS-1 Modded TS-9 and DOD 250 re-issue. All with my JCM 800, 2205 and my faves are the SD-1 and DOD 250. The 250 , for $37.00 brand new is definitly worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zinzin Posted September 30, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 during lunchtime i had the chance to read some HC reviews about the 2 pedals and i think the dano is rather weak. unfortunately i don't have the chance to try 'em out.for now the DOD should be my favorite as i like as it looks too. so, how much overdrive pedal is it, or is it really more a boost pedal?

Members kerb Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 the dano is actually quite a nice pedal but I'd probably side with the 250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FLYING V 83 Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 The Dano is much more versatile. It'll do the 250 sound but a lot more, whereas the 250 is a one-trick pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members preservation Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 i love the daddy O. built to spill baby ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members desertlimosine Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 the Daddy-O is the best {censored}, especially when on full overdrive, it sounds huge and fuzzy almost.. then boost it with another overdrive, and meltdown controllable feedback time!

Members zinzin Posted September 30, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 Originally posted by gregovertone DOD 250 guide thanks for the link. the majority would go for the gray DOD 250 i see, but i don't have the money ... i really dig the "a DOD 250 paired with a vox ac 30/15 is heaven" note!!!! i read lots of noise issues for the dano. true? aaaah, its hard without trying one out ... they are both cheap, i could buy 'em both and resell the weaker one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gregovertone Posted September 30, 2005 Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 hey hey i have had both....and currently still own the dod. the dano pedals i have owned seemed relatively cheap in build, and sound, when compared to another product in its price range. i had 5 dan'o pedals, and 3 broke. for the price, id prefer the dod250. they are 2 different beasts though. the dano is a bit more compressed. the dod has more grit to it. id' look at something like the boss sd-1 over the dano. just another cheap od.

Members zinzin Posted September 30, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 30, 2005 i tried the boss sd-1 and it seemed kinda fake overdrive to me ... very hollow sounding, not warm enough. but then i am kinda against boss pedals as they always try to please as many people as possible with their sounds and therefore being kinda pale sounding.
