Break Down the Barriers with the Danelectro The Breakdown Overdrive Effects Pedal
Rewind to 1968. Famous guitar god uses this pedal to record his first album. Entire planet goes nuts. Inexplicably, the pedal then disappears. Until now. Danelectro® resurrects this awesome, incredibly organic sounding pedal. 6 position “Break Up” control takes your guitar signal and slams the front of your amp with increasing punch. Positions 1 through 3 are ear-friendly and have “leave on all the time” potential. Positions 4 through 6 grab you and knock you back against the nearest piece of concrete. But in the most pleasant way. Caution: Do not listen to this… unless you want it to be your life companion.
