If Danelectro’s iconic Cool Cat pedal designs have you thinking “space-age retro cool,” that’s because the name itself has been around since the late 40s, churning out guitars and amps used by some of the forefathers of modern rock music. The current Danelectro guitar effects pedal line includes lush-sounding stereo chorus pedals, versatile and crunchy overdrives, and haunting delays. Danelectro pedals are simple, easy to use, look great, and perhaps best of all, are available at musician-friendly prices.
