The Dane Overdrive/Boost : Fabulous tones.

2 years ago

If you haven't heard this or tried one then you need to. A beautiful drive and a powerful boost all in one. It is very rarely switched off on my board - basically you can dial the drive back to get very subtle crunch or go for full tilt mayhem. Very responsive to your guitar volume and tone control too - there i just too much goodness here. I use it with my strat, prs and explorer. Makes the pickup type differences even more notable, if that makes sense. Danish Pete uses it with his tele to good effect and so the strat is also good. I also like it with the humbuckers, even though it is voiced for single coils. Long and short... it is up there price wise, but it is worth every penny. The construction (case) is epic... just don't try and read what the knobs do! The silver engraving on the silver (very silver) case is difficult to read. If there was anything I'd change though would be to go with soft switches for a mk3. (the finish of the mk2 is also more readable, but I like the chrome aesthetic). Inside the unit is also a work of art, precision and hand crafted excellence. The chips are socketed (nice) and it is all discrete components and not the 'impossible' to repair surface mount. The case is probably one of the few things that would survive a nuclear weapon. I have deducted just one point for the hard to read and keep clean colour, but mainly for the switch - very heavy, very clicky. But don't let that be an issue, because once turned on you are likely to leave it that way :)
