Am I being weird?

[The Mad Owl]

Or is the FAB Distortion by Danelectro decent sounding????

It's not smooth, or articulate, but it's biting in a very wonderful way.

It's all relative, I suppose. I personally enjoyed the way the Dano Grilled Cheese sounded with a Blue Box and an envelope filter in front.

[The Mad Owl]

I have 2, thought I would put it on my board and it's sounding great

[Big Mon]

Is it the OG big metal one, or one of the newer, compact ones?

Has anyone ever tried the fab delay? I just realized its $20! I think I'm going to have to try it...

I like the way my fab distortion sounds on bass. It gives it just enough bite to be noticeably distorted. I can't really remember how it sounded on guitar though, it's been awhile since I've used it. I pretty much threw it in the closet when the battery in it died a year ago. I should probably dig it up later.

From what I hear it has the same circuit as the Echo, just with adjustable delay time. My Echo sounds decent, for how cheap it was. I wouldn't call it 'bad' sounding, just not a lot of room to mess with it. I still have big dreams of ripping mine open and bending it till it breaks, but I doubt I'll ever get around to it. The extra knob on the Delay would probably help with that problem though.

Wouldn't be surprised, my danelectro Pastrami sounds super thick and damn near fuzzy.

I would guess the plastic FAB Distortion is a Boss DS-1 clone like the Cool Cat Distortion. The Fabtone distortion of the 90s series is in the same family as the Boss Metal Zone and the Digitech Grunge -- same distortion architecture, slightly different eq.

If it works, it works. Some cheapie stuff just overperforms in the right setting.

It's the little plastic red one!

It's sounding stellar right now!

The sound just REALLY REALLY moves me... I can't explain it any other way.

No, but the Fab Chorus is the best chorus I have ever owned. No, for serious.

Like, srs fer srs? And btw, where you been, bro?

[Rygot]

Whoa!

Spacelord?!

Made me think this was a necrobump for a while.

[The Mad Owl]

the FAB flange has never failed to get me great things in a feedback loop. really just thinking about buying a few more and putting them in different places in my loops.

[Kellanium]

i had the FAB OD at one point and was less than impressed. Never tried the Distortion.

On the subject of cheapass effects, i have a fender Starcaster chorus that i repainted. It's totally analog and can be found for dirt fucking cheap. I think it's a boss Chorus Ensemble clone, but i'm not entirely sure. it sounds amazing.
