Danelectro DJ-13 French Toast Octave Distortion Mini Effects Pedal Review
I purchased one of these a few years back after hearing how amazed others were with the sound of the French Toast.
Mind you, it's not a pedal you'll use every day, but for the money, it comes REALLY close to matching the Foxx Tone Machine. It's got a pretty good fuzz going with a really great up-octave effect at the same time.
If you do double-stops, you'll get a really nice ring-modulator-ish effect.
This pedal will give you taste of some of Hendrixes tone, all you need to add is the talent. :)
Now that the nice things are out of the way, I'll discuss the not so nice things. It's cheap. Be careful not to break it.
Really.
Don't expect to be able to abuse it or kick it around the stage. If you're not careful, when you're stomping (funny how people tend to stomp on these things), you could break off a knob.
I've had mine a few years and haven't managed to break it yet. Your mileage may vary, yadda, yadda...
Bottom Line: I'm pretty happy with mine.

the octave on this isnt very good. the distortion is ok, but i would go with the boss oc-3 or 2. that redal rocks hard.
This pedal rocks! - Kris Skwire - Beverly Hills 90125
Great distortion sound! I play bass, so I don't know how this sounds for guitar, but it sounds really cool if you want fuzz bass! The octave effect is cool, but it only works with the distortion on. You can't get a clean octave sound, so that was a slight bummer. Also, It would be nice if the octave switch was also a pushbutton footstomp switch like the distortion switch. Overall, I do like this pedal, and at the price it's a good deal!
