Danelectro Pedals Discontinued Series Featured Paisley
The company was also contracted to make guitars and amplifiers that were branded not with the Danelectro name, but with the names of various store brands, such as Silvertone (Sears) and Airline ( Montgomery Ward). In 1954, Danelectro started producing the Danelectro lines of solidbody electric guitars and amplifiers. Throughout the late 1940s, the company produced amplifiers for Sears, Roebuck and Company and Montgomery Ward. The discontinued Paisley series featured paisley-patterned drive effects in original style.Danelectro was founded by Nathan "Nat" Daniel in 1947.

Danelectro is a manufacturer of effect pedals and musical instruments.
A year later, the Coral line, known for its hollow-bodies and electric sitars, was introduced. In 1966, Danelectro was sold to MCA. The baritone guitar never proved especially popular but found an enduring niche in Nashville as the instrument of choice for "Tic-tac" bass lines. In 1956, Danelectro introduced the six-string Baritone guitar. All the while Danelectro's goal was to produce no-frills guitars of reasonably good tone at low cost. The concentric stacked tone/volume knobs were used on the two- pickup models of both series, as well as the "lipstick-tube" pickups, which placed the entire pick-up mechanism into spare lipstick tubes.
AmplifiersEQD + Discontinued Boss + others for fun stuff :) Alright, Ive got some really interesting stuff this time round. In 2006, the new owners of Evets decided on a new marketing model for the guitars, selling a limited number of guitars each year. After initially selling well, guitar sales slowed to the point where Danelectro stopped selling guitars after 2001, opting to concentrate on effects pedals. However, the reason I don't own any Danelectro pedals is because the build quality on their pedals is cheap plastic, and can easily break.In the late 1990s, the Evets Corporation started selling primarily copies of old Silvertone and Danelectro guitars, as well as newly designed effects pedals and small amplifiers. I would say that if you want the pedal for just playing at home or recording, definatley look into them. Danelectro makes great-sounding pedals.

The Wasabi series features large, futuristic-looking metal enclosures. The discontinued Paisley series featured paisley-patterned drive effects in original style enclosures. Vintage effects include the large, rectangular Spring King and Reel Echo effect pedals. Mini effects pedals are smaller, compact pedals with effects resembling those of the original effects and the FAB effects.
The Mini effects are often praised for their high quality tones, but the plastic construction makes them fragile. Despite the many advantages of the mini effects, FAB effects are the ones primarily seen today. Not long after, another carrying case was developed to fit five FAB or Cool Cat pedals, as well as serve in the pedal board function as well. It has since been discontinued. When the player is ready to play, the top may be removed and the bottom acts as a pedals board.
Each pedal has a mains power DC9 socket or can be powered using a 9v battery, access for which involves removing the rubber covered metal base plate. The series was launched in 2005 with the release of the FAB Distortion, FAB Overdrive and the FAB Metal pedals.There are currently eight pedals available all of which share the same distinctive injection moulded plastic casing and blue LED light.
