Danelectro Fab Tone DD-1

This is a distortion pedal. It distorts everything and makes it all loud as heck.

Want to roll back your volume knob to clean things up? Sorry pal, you are out of luck. Everything is still distorted.

If you are looking for something transparent or capable of subtle shades of grit then you need to take your stompin' elsewhere else. There is a reason this pedal has been employed by the  post-rock experts of loud/quiet/loud, Mogwai.

This pedal and it's association with Mogwai has resulted in the Plasmatron, Stuart Braithwaite's signature model pedal made by Denmark based Reuss Musical Instruments.
