NPD! Dano Fab Tone!

Post by frigid midget »

Finally got me one of these deceivingly mellow and cheap looking fab tones...

And it turns out it's the first pedal I got that makes me think I'll use it mostly with the gain turned all the way down, instead of all the way up :)

Can't wait to try it through my half stack. It passed the AC-15C2 test though. That amp is capable of making any pedal sound flimsy and weak. Not the fab tone though, it turned the vox into a cross breed of a marshall stack and nuclear apocalyps :drool:

Thanks a bunch to my bro ProCarsteNation!

Are these sought after? The Fab Tone was my first ever distortion and I always thought it looked like an old shoe or something.

The Fab Tone was my first distortion too. Still have it around, but it feels a little one note to me. Definitely run it with the gain down.

My first pedal and still one of my occasional faves. It always sounds HUGE.
Picked up my first one when I was 17. It only does one thing really but that one thing is sounding like a god eating monster.
Modded mine for true bypass because it is a major tone suck.

Added bonus: you can club someone to death with it. The metal side of the case is heavy. If only the other part (and jacks) weren't plastic :facepalm:

It sounds really chainsawy and buzzy, even with your guitar's vol backed off (first time I felt the need to do that) it's stil super agressive and a bit nasal/trebly/sizzly.

Definatelly not your dad's blues overdrive, it's pretty much incapable of sounding 'pretty', but it's perfect for the sort of shit I'm into lately.

The flimsy plastic ins/outs and bypass tone suckage are too bad, though for $35 I can't really complaint :idk:
For that kinda money the enclosure could've been plastic too, though it's indeed as heavey as three Boss pedals and feels solid enough to survive a fair share of abuse.

Well played!

I've renamed my Fab Echo the Fag Echo.

He is out, loud and proud, in spite of his conservative and homophobic maker.

What are the Dano pedals ilfers think are a rad enough I should check 'em?

Fwiw: The french toast is supposedly a dang good tone machine clone. And I remember back in the day their daddy-o overdrive caught my attention just because Doug from Built to Spill was using one :idk:
