Danelectro DJ-7 Milkshake Chorus

Oh, not too hard. Unless you don't have thumbs, then it could be a problem.

Lotus guitar through a Champion 110. NOT noisey, dammit, just use a battery and it'll sound just fine. Not a subtle chorus, in your face metallic chorus. Sounds good with phasers, wah, distortion, echo, reverb, envelope filter, and even with a bass it is pretty good. Rate knob is not too effective, its either fast or slow, but depth and rate together can make an interesting use.

Not broken yet, its plastic, but if you stomp hard enough to break it, metal or plastic wont help much. Also, seems better put together on the wireing than an Electro-Harmonix. Hey, its worked for about 4 months now and it hasn't broken yet.

There are a whole lot of pedals a lot worse for a lot more money. This will cover your basic chorus needs without breaking your already thin wallet.

easy to use

could get nice dreamy chorus and then crazy playing guitar backwards while underwater kind of stuff

i stomp on my pedals, i am not afriad to admit it. after all, they are called stomp boxes.
this thing crapped out after abdout a month so i got a boss and am much happier with that.

their website is good

buy this if you are careful and not a clumsy bugger like me or haven't got much cash (like i did when i bought it)its got nice sounds but not for the heavy footed

Two switches (depth, speed) and a footswitch to turn it on and off. Very easy to figure out.

I just want to say that I've read the other reviews in this category that said it is noisy. This thing is not noisy at all for me, clean or distorted. It sounds good.

Very reliable. I don't stomp my pedals (regardless of how they're made). My cousins' T-bone distortion pedal's electronics were messed up and we (just playing around) stomped hard on his gutted out pedal. It did nothing. I wouldn't recomend stomping pedals, but the point is, Danelectro's are strong. Very dependable if you don't stomp!

I've asked Danelectro through e-mail before and they responded quickly (within hours)! Great customer service!

Great pedal!

Pretty piss really.. uh it has to dials and a button...
you don't even need a manual

great sound. I'm playing it with a ibanez gio and a marshall 100watt,]
with a t-bone distortion (kicks ass) and a DOD multifx pedal. It totally kicks the DOD's chorus... crank up the depth and speed and slap on some distortion and you get some wierd shit coming out of your amp. I recon you can get some cool pumpkins and stone temple pilots sounds. what noise??? theirs no feedback...

pretty good, i think it chowed the battery prety quick but thats it. definatly use without a backup. despite being plastic it will hold, you dont have to jump on the button, its nice and sensative...

havent needed to yet

it dig it .. buy it.

2 knobs, no manual, depth and speed. Only pedal easier than this is an MXR Phase 90.

I'm using it with a ton of effects, including fuzz, tremelo, flange, wah, pitchshift, whammy, envelope filter, delay, reverb, and of course the effervecent Gonkulator. A very good chorus, I haven't ran into the problems of noise mentioned below.. but that may be that i use 9v battery instead of adaptor. Very good sound, lush chorus. As another user said, it is NOT transparent. good as an effect, not as a subtle thing.. perfect for my odd rock heavy funky indie styles.

It's plastic and small, so who knows. I can live without chorus for a show, but I'd rather have it.

?

Good pedal, best for the price. sounds better to my ears than the Boss Super Chorus which is also in my pedal DNA strand.

Pretty easy...2 contols for speed and depth.

I have a LP copy and I have a Rouge 30 watt amp. When i use the chorus i run it into my DOD grunge, i like the sound i get. It may be an aquired taste though.
Its not a small clone or anything, but it does sound good i think.
It is slightly noisy.. I think it has to do with the power source being next to the cables on the pedal. When i run off of a battery its pretty quiet.

I know its plastic and all..
But see.. What do you people do with your pedals?
I just step on it to turn it on and off.
I've had it for 3 months now. Its holding up fine.
I can't see why anyone would stomp the hell out of a pedal anyway.
its fine.
Of course i would use it on a gig without a backup.

They are good..respond within a day

I play alternative rock metal stuff...i do acoustic too but..whatever.
I've been playing for a year and if it was stolen i would probably buy another chorus pedal..like a small clone or something.
I like its price and sound..i don't hate anything about the pedal.

Its a great chorus for the price.. i think danelectrol did a good job.

The two knobs are are easy to tweak to get the sound you like. Otherwise there is nothing else.

The chorus sound can be altered to do some pretty weird and pretty crappy sounds. When I play with the depth knob craked I turn down the speed to a quater of the way up. With more speed I just reverse it. I use a Crate Gx80 and this pedal I found was not to noisy if anything it increases the clean tone but doesn't fair well with distortion.

I had to replace it once because of a broken knob but that's because my case took a dive down some stairs with it in there. JUST BE CAREFUL.

This pedal works well if you play lots of clean stuff (church mainly)
But for you metal junkies (me too) this isn't the pedal for you.

This is a great chorus pedal. The first day I got it I came home and
got a great sound out of it, (especially for it to be as cheap as it
was.) There is no manual for it but what idiot needs one. There is a
booklet that came w/ it, however, which has a lot of Dano info. All in
all I love the pedal.

I do not feel like typing out my setup up. This pedal is not noisy at
all, but when the battery is low it has a fuzz to it. This little
sucker has great battery milage. I use this w/ my peavey audition 110
amp. The only problem I have w/ it is that it does not sound very good
w/ distortion. This is not to bad of a thing for me, seeing as how I
don't use it often w/ distortion. I just figured that other buyers might like to know that.

It is plastic but if you don't jump on it, it won't break. I would
definatly gig w/out a backup.

never dealt wit'.

This is a great little pedal and I would definatly buy it again.
There is really nothing left to say.

Very easy to use. Cheap feeling knobs but very easy to tweak in the setting you want. I usually just keep it at one setting anyway.

A lot of the reviews have a complaint about it being noisy. I must have gotten lucky because the one I bought is very quiet. It was between this and a Boss CH-1 and the deciding factor was this sounded quieter to me as well as having a cleaner, brighter sound. I use it with a Spector NS-6B (my favorite guitar ever!) and a Gibson ES330 through a Marshal DSL410. My only regret is that I didn't compare it with the Danelectro full size (CoolCat?) unit.

Time will tell if it is reliable, but if it quit on me I could get by. It seems quite durable for the cost, even though it has a plastic case. I am not afraid to use it live because I don't stomp my stomp boxes anyway.

N/A

I think this is a very good chorus for the money. As I mentioned, I chose it over the Boss CH-1 not because of the cost, but because of the sound. I also compared and choseit over chorus units by Ibanez, Voodoo Labs, Mashall and the chorus in the Zoom707GFX. I play mostly Christian rock, praise and worship music with it and it suits me fine. I only regret not comparing to the full size Danelectro unit. For the money, I would buy it again, provided I didn't just luck out and get a quiet one.

Two knobs. Hooray.

Uh, lots of people have complained that this thing is noisy but.. it isn't that much. I'm playing with a Jackson PS-4 out of a Crate GX-65, and its not that noisy for me. It adds clean character to my clean tone, which is really what I wanted. Doesn't sound that great with distortion, however.

I've had it for a month and nothing's happened to it yet, heh.

I play bizzare oddball and sometimes heavy music (i.e. Mr. Bungle) and all I really wanted was something other than the droll boring clean tone I got with what I have right now, and this is suitable for that. And its cheap. My only real complaint is that it's not that great with distortion.
