Geez GG, I just noticed all the pedals you have....
You're kidding, right? The lady has FIVE. Around here, that's known as a "good start"! But I know she'll catch up quickly! ;) :rockon:
 
I hope all "new comers" realize that the more pedals you have, the better you look and the more friends and the more fame you will get. ;)

Who cares how well you play. It's the number of pedals you have that really count. ;) ;)

Hey, I knew GG a year ago (or something like that) and she has acquired a lot of gear. Look at my sig, I had to throw in items that may not even belong.

It depends on what you're playing. It takes alot of buttons to play buttons well.

How much fun is *one* button?!?

Cool Cat Pedals

Hey Robert,
Would you be so kind to tell us how the Cool Cat pedals match up against similar pedals from Digitech in terms of how they sound and versatility. DT pedals usually have several distinct sounds that you can get out of each pedal. Hmmmm.........for that matter, please compare the earlier Danelectro line with DT. I'll be in the market soon for some pedals, so I want to make a good choice. ahhahhahahahahahhahaha Are the prior Danelectro line cheaply made???????
 
I will tell you more, as soon as I get my hands on them!

All the "older" cheapo Danelectro are cool sounding pedals. Yes, they are cheaply made, but they sound pretty wicked. Some of them also suck tone quite bad, so these new ones, which are true bypass, should be just what the doctor ordered. :pancake:
 
She only has 5.....I am down to 3....and none of them are being used.

I really need a bad monkey tho...even if it is just for a test run and I am gassing for a Wah really badly too....
 
How come I can hear the clips & you guys don t , well i like mostly the vibe , tremolo & disto..



Interesting ..


Ciao

Blazes:dude:
 
danelectro cool cat

They look like a revamped FAB peddle, sound is great and the price,these are a good deal !!!
 
Just another bump of this thread. I've seen these pedals show up at one place online. They're actually supposed to be shipping now. I'd really like to check out the fuzz if someplace around here would actually carry them.
 
I'm going to keep bumping this until somebody gets them. I did notice that they are in stock at Musician's Friend and Music 123. My next gear purchase will likely be the fuzz, although I'd like a standalone chorus too. My EX-7 does a Big Muff, but I'd like a slightly less over-the-top fuzz. Oddly enough the EX-7 doesn't have a pure chorus either and it's hard to fake with the Uni-Vibe model. The A/DA flanger model is the bee's knees though.
 
ordered the Fuzz from MF this morning and received a confirmation that it is in stock and shipping....

Please let us know what you think of it!
 
Brown Truck found me.... spent 15 quick minutes with the CF-1 Fuzz pedal...

initial observations: built like a tank compared to the plastic cased Dano pedals, solid click switch, plenty of dirt, bright led, smooth control pots, cleans up quite well dropping guitar volume knob... best $30 I've spent in forever...

I'll be adding a couple more of these in the near future....
 
Robert - does the Drive pedal sound as good as the slide clip on the Dano site? the tone on that clip is great...

I'm GASsing to add both the Drive & Distortion models to the bunch, but probably need to spend some time with the Fuzz before placing another order..
 
I am liking the clips of the Metal and Distortion pedals very much. Want a distortion to replace the Dano fabtone I recently 'bayed (was disappointed with that one). I also have a recently won Dano Dan-echo to look forward to:AOK:

There something about Dano pedals I really like...
 
there's a chorus drive and metal pedal on a UPS truck somewhere with my name on them. I hope to have them next week !!
 
I finally got a chance to play around with my Cool Cat Pedals this week (Drive, Metal & Chorus).

Let me start by saying that I've been a multiFX unit kinda guy for along time. I used a Boss ME6, PODs and more recently the Zoom G series. I've never been happy with any overdrive/distortion pedals I've used (DS1, Bluesbreaker, Arion Distortion). I also never use the Drive channel on my HRDlx amp as it sounds too harsh for my tastes.

The Cool Cat Drive and Metal pedals have opened my eye's again to the joys of stomp boxes. I'm really happy with the sound I'm getting from these boxes, the combination of the Drive and Metal gives me every level of dirt I could ask for from a little boost to all out mayhem. The Drive pedal on it's own adds a beautiful natural responsive breakup to the signal. I have the Metal pedal setup to add some extra dirt, volume and bottom end to the already overdriven signal coming out of the drive pedal. This gives a glorious sustained crunch sound that works great with my Lemon Drop LP - great for bonamassa, gary moore, ACDC type tones.

The fact that I'm happy with the distortion I'm getting for these CC's in front of the amp has allowed me to move my Zoom G2 to the FX loop and just use it for delay and tuner. This makes my whole sound come alive, the amp sounds better and my guitars sound better.

The Cool Cat Chorus is a really nice sounding Chorus - I'm not a big chorus user but I love to have one ready for whenever I feel like breaking into some Def Leppard and this pedal delivers that classic 80's chorus tone perfectly.

....these pedals have rounded off a great year for gear purchases for me without having to spend big bucks. There really are some great products out there now for the budget conscious guitarist - my Vintage Lemon Drop LP, my Washburn D10S and my Cool Cats have been great purchases for 'relatively' little money - thanks to my fellow fretters who've advised, recommended and demo'd some of this gear before I pulled the trigger.

I'm taking some parental leave from work later this year so expect to see all these new toys appearing on my youtube page before too long..
