Ease of Use : 10
Pretty easy to use. Has controls for speed and intensity.

Sound Quality : 9
Fantastic sound for such an economical pedal! As others have mentioned, its comparable to a MicroVibe at about 1/4 of the price. Its truly amazing that such good sound can come out of such an inexpensive pedal.

Reliability : 10
Rock-solid. I've had lots of the Dano pedals and I've beaten the crap out of them. I cannot imagine breaking one unless you really abused it. I also can't imagine having them break five minutes out of the box. Those other guys must plug them into the 120-Volt AC wall outlet or something.

Customer Support : 10
Only one problem with a Dano product - I had a Tuna Melt with a broken knob when it came out of the box. Danelectro shipped me a brand new replacement right away. Can't get much better than that!

Overall Rating : 10
A really great sounding "vibe" at an incredible price. Surprisingly, the plastic case is alot stronger than you'd expect it to be. These things are bulletproof.

Interestingly, the effect can be fairly subtle at some settings. This is a TEXTURE pedal, not a distortion pedal. As a result, you should plan on getting subtle variations in sound out of it. Its not going to make your axe sound like flying saucers or anything like that.

Speed and Intensity - how fast and hard it warbles.

Sound Quality : 8
Sounded like 1975 to me. It swirled and whirled and stuff when turned on with the controls set as they came out of the box.

Reliability : 1
Then I twirled the knobs myself and it quit making any sound. I turned the thing on and off and the only difference was that the volume went up a little bit with the pedal on. Five minutes of psych followed by fifteen minutes trying to get the sound to move again. It's going back to Musician's Friend.

Customer Support : 5
They have a number, email, website and fax. Whether they'll do anything is unknown.

Overall Rating : 5
Hell, it's a micro vibe at 1/4th the price. The micro vibe might function longer, too. I wanted to get that weird '70's sound, but for more than five minutes one time ever. I have the Pepperoni phaser, and that has worked just fine so long as the patch cord is fit for it. It was a gift, I'm exchanging it for another Chicken Salad. I hope to heck that it works.

very easy-two knobs.

Sound Quality : 8
pretty good compared to an expensive vibe-type...not a real photo-
optical circuit(it can't be?)but that's why it's cheaper.

Reliability : 2
it stopped working properly after 15 minutes or so-the controls wouldn't respond to changes and it didn't do it's thing unless i
maxed the intensity knob.

Customer Support : No Opinion
there is a 1 year warranty,but i took it back to the place of purchase
and got a french toast-fuzz instead(10 bucks more) which i have not
yet had the chance to use with my stuff.we'll see...it sounded good in the store.

Overall Rating : No Opinion
if it kept working i would have been happy to have it, but it's not
something i really need as i own several other modulation pedals
but no uni-vibe types.i suppose i can't rate this overall under the
circumstances but if you find one that works it's a good deal.
