Ease of Use
:
8
Pretty much easy to use. I had some issues with it, but that's not really an ease of use issue. Read below. The tap tempo switch is great, it's nice to have a pedal with a second footswitch.
Sound Quality
:
9
It sounds very good. It's a very warm echo, and the high cut knob works very well. The reverse works well also, although I don't use it much. I'm playing through a G&L Legacy into a Fender Bassman. It's not noisy at all.
Reliability
:
2
This is the problem. It's broken after 2 weeks. It's very finicky, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The problem is, when the effect is on, it works fine, but when it's bypassed it doesn't let the signal pass through. Not sure what I'm gonna do, I'll probably take it back.

The Danelectro company, as far as I can see, has a PO box in California. Nothing on their website, no email addresses, phone numbers, nothing. Reaching them may be difficult. The pedal has a 1 year warranty, so I might be able to get it replaced. We will see.
Overall Rating

Overall, if this thing worked, it would be one of the best pieces on my board. If you buy one, beware! Buy it from a store that will give you a refund, pay the extra $30 for it! I got mine off ebay from a dealer with no return policy. I've never had a problem with a pedal before, so I didn't think it was an issue. I may have just gotten a dud, but you never know.
