I mostly use this pedal to get great crunch rhythm guitar tones, but it can be used for lead guitar several ways.

If you want a great clean boost, just turn Volume way up, and turn O Drive way down. This is good if you want to get SRV type tones. It is a clean tone that breaks up. If you want more of a singing Metal tone, just turn O Drive all the way up and adjust your Volume. This pedal has nice sustain and lots of gain too. It will almost do Heavy Metal.

If you really want your leads to jump out, use lots of Mids.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-195343 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-195338 Fri, 25 Aug 2006 03:43:32 +0000
Ok, I thought it sounded darn good .. you could have claimed credit :-) I have the "Cream of Clapton" album, and it's one of my favourites..

I have barely started exploring this pedal. I was looking for a Boss BD-2 on ebay, didn't win on couple of them, saw this and bid. I think I am going to hold off on the BD-2 for a while since I have this to play around with it. Basically, what I need is something that can push my galaxy 10 into more of a "singing lead " tone and different levels of crunch. If this can do it, then I don't need the Boss BD-2.]]> Live Sound vink https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-195338 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-195337 Fri, 25 Aug 2006 03:36:22 +0000
No, that was Cream. I wish I could play Wah like that. :D

Sorry to change the subject of this thread. The Daddy-O is a great pedal though, and pretty good at getting tube amp overdrive. This pedal is so flexible, I really don't know another pedal that can get so many various tones. Turn those knobs, you will be surprised at all the tones you can get.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-195337 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-195257 Thu, 24 Aug 2006 21:15:36 +0000
BTW, is that your band? That cover sounds real good..]]> Live Sound vink https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-195257 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-195114 Thu, 24 Aug 2006 06:06:52 +0000
Oh yeah, it was Eric Clapton with Cream that made me want to play guitar. The first time I heard Sunshine of Your Love, White Room, and Tales of Great Ulysses, I was blown away. And I have been trying to get that tone for 30 years. To this day I have never heard better IMHO.

Ah, listen to this rhythm guitar tone:

http://media.putfile.com/Cream---White-Room-76

Now, here's how to get Eric Clapton's famous "Woman tone"

1) Turn all amp tone controls to max (clockwise)
2) Turn guitar tone controls all the way down (bass). Bridge and Neck pickups are best, but the Bridge/Middle position works well too, I read this was EC's favorite position.
3)Turn your amp up as loud as you can. This is very important to get this tone. If you use the Clean channel you really have to crank it. If you use the Overdrive channel, turn Gain up about 1/2.
4) If you have a Wah, turn it on and back it off about 3/4.

Now you would think with your tone control turned down on your guitar it will sound muffled. And it will at low volumes. But as you crank your amp up the highs will come out. You will get a very thick full tone, but with great crunch. And your amp will not sound so nearly as loud as if you had the tone control turned up on your guitar.

Now, I can't guarantee this will nail EC's tone perfect, but it will get you real close. You may have to experiment a bit with the tone controls on your amp or guitar, but not much.

See what you think. :D]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-195114 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-195070 Thu, 24 Aug 2006 00:41:51 +0000

Many say Danos eat batteries quick. I don't know, I have mine on a pedalboard with a 1 Spot adaptor. Really great, I am powering 9 pedals. This will power 5 pedals normally, but I bought the optional extension cable to power 5 more.

I'm a great fan of Danelectro pedals, and I've not found their appetite for batteries to be much of a problem

Best,

Oh yeah, you will like this pedal, it is super versatile. It will probably sound great on clean models, don't know about others.

But don't think the tone knobs have to be turned to max. You can get great tones with them turned counter-clockwise too. Sometimes if you turn Bass full it gets really boomy. If so, come down on bass and compensate by coming down on Mids and Highs too. You can get a great heavy tone with lots of bottom end without the boominess.

You will really never run out of tones with this pedal.

I also plan to try this pedal on my Vox AD30VT, to see how it does in overdriving some of the amp models, especially the fender tweed model..need to get a power supply, otherwise I am going to go through lot of batteries :-)]]> Live Sound vink https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-194716 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-194708 Tue, 22 Aug 2006 03:05:02 +0000
I was reading reviews on the Tubulator last night, it seems to be a very popular pedal, and for only $19.99 it's hard to go wrong. I know Ken (SmokingDog) uses one with his Epi Valve head and posted some clips. Sounded pretty great to me.

There are lots of good inexpensive pedals out there, and some of these high-priced pedals are way overrated. I went to see a friend's band this Friday night, the other guitar player was using an Ibanez TS808 Tubescreamer. This is supposed to be the ultimate overdrive pedal. But honestly, it didn't sound that good at all to me. Perhaps it was the particular settings he was using. But man, for $150, I expect fantastic tone. I was a little turned off to this pedal.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/ebay-danelectro-daddy-o-quick-review/#post-194708
