Danelectro Pedal Mods

The Dan-Echo Hold mod is a modification that allows you to lock in forced oscillations. The Dan-Echo produces delay by saving your guitar’s signal into a memory chip, then recalling it some milliseconds later. It does this over, and over, and over, and…you get the picture! The Hold mod adds a toggle switch that, when […]

The Dan-Echo Infinite Repeats mod, also called the R10 Mod, is a modification that allows you to force the DE-1 to self-oscillate. In it’s stock form, the Repeats knob doesn’t allow you to reach infinite repeats. The R10 Mod pushes the Dan-Echo to its’ limits by introducing a toggle switch for infinite repeats. A change

The Dan Echo’s Delay Time control has a decent upper limit, but the lower limit is not quite fast enough for my taste. The Doubler Mod was developed to allow the Dan-Echo to achieve the “doubling” delay effect by extending the lower range of the Delay Time control. Put another way: “Doubling” is a trick used

The Danelectro Dan-Echo LFO Modification initiated as an idea based on existing techniques for adding modulation to a PT2399 circuit. The Dan-Echo uses a PT2395, so the LFO Mod is an altered version of those techniques for the Dan-Echo. This post walks you through the steps to modify your Dan-Echo with the LFO Modification. The

The Dan-Echo DE-1 is a delay pedal built by Danelectro. It is based on the PT2395 echo chip, a Princeton Technology Corp predecessor to the famous PT2399. While the DE-1 is relatively versatile, there are limitations. Luckily, the circuit lends itself to some interesting modification opportunities. Here are 5 Danelectro Dan-Echo Modifications that will both
