Inexpensive Effect Pedals

Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 1:29 pm

Hey everyone...just wanted to pass on a great product i bought today....
Believe it or not I just bought 4 pedals for $49.99 brand new at Guitar Center...no this isnt a commercial.lol you can also order them through
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Danelectro-Fab-Chorus?sku=151845
But if you are low on money and you need effects pedals, then please check into the Fab brand pedals...at roughly $14.00 a piece you cant go wrong......The Fab Four pack comes with Flange,Chorus,Echo and Metal...
let me tell ya...within about 15 minutes i was able to achieve a really close Jimi Hendrix tone for The Wind Cries Mary....almost identical....
so.....if ya need effect pedals I recommend these......now we will see how they hold up to a gig....I'll let ya know soon

Really this isnt a commercial or spam...i swear...lol

thanks for the suggestion. i used a dan electro chorus/delay pedal once and was really impressed. i've been looking for that pedal and they don't seem to make it anymore. they have similar ones, though. i actually like the dan electro pedals. i'm in the process of joining a rock band and haven't owned effects for many years now. this might be a good way for me to nab some peddles and get a different sound from the others in the band. thanks again for the advertisement, gunner!

No Problem....I have used all kinds of equipment from multi-effect high tech systems all the way down to the these pedals.....anytime i run across a good deal with guitar equipment i like to pass it on......
although these things are plastic....it might be a good idea to rig up a seperate footswitch to activate...who knows they might withstand a gig...

HA HA HA.... yea, a quid is a pound (£1) = 1.4 euro = 2.01 americain dollars at the moment... seen some available at like £12 which is pretty cool.... ill get a couple after this christmas thing gets outta the way... they also make more like FAB overdrive and FAB metal pedals too.. so not sure which ones ill go for... as far as the pricing goes, you see what i mean?? you got them for the equivilent of 7.5 pounds, while ill have to pay 12... not that that is a big problem, but it really adds up on some other more pricey things... i think also there is a tax to be paid on any thing over around 20 dollars so even if i shipped in, id get taxed on it.... its what makes great britain so great.... Laughing

we all work our preverbial potato sacks off to pay loads of tax and try and keep tiny britain afloat...lmao... Rolling Eyes

Ok...so now i know......we all pay taxes buddy...some have to pay more, some have to pay less....but one thing is for sure......you pay till you die!!!
"and for something completely different"
I have the fab metal pedal also...this little thing rocks.....as soon as i can find my mic...i should upload some examples.......anyway...have a good one.]

it's like you turn your back on a thread for a moment and all the sudden it explodes. but just to chime in for a moment...GB is way more pricey than the colonies. i remember a pack of cigarettes cost the equivalent of $10 back in 1998. we'd go into the big chain supermarket over there and spend like 10 quid and walk out with some ham, cheese, bread, and sandwich spread. i'm exaggerating of course, but it was like you spent a ton of money and got very, very little. for my wife it was worse because it was before the euro and the deutsche mark was even lower against the pound. and knowing the price breakdown for groceries in much of mainland europe, it was easy to see that GB was almost as pricey as switzerland, and that's pricey. i think that's why you see effing brits on holiday on the mainland all the time. they're all over the place in the summers, but especially spain. there's not a more pathetic sight than brits on holiday. (holiday=vacation in british english, gunner)i guess that's not quite true...i've seen the spring break specials on american mtv.that's about as pathetic as it gets. brits run a close 2nd, though.

or better known as I.E.P's .......these IEP's can be deadly when used improperly.....so extreme caution is to be used when on "VACATION"
