Blogging Ottinger (tim)Danelectro Chicken Salad
I got my DanElectro Chicken Salad vibe effect last tuesday.
Most of the demos have it paired with a good overdrive or distortion pedal. It’s nice, and can take the place of a chorus pedal if you use it with low intensity and a higher speed, or a nice Hendrix-like vibe if you lower the speed and raise the intensity. I used it on a few different songs on Sunday and mostly liked the way it brought a third dimension to the sound of the guitar.
I did find that it needs to go near the end of the chain. I put it just before my delay for best effect, after the distortion and overdrive. If you reverse that, you’ll have an interesting effect but there won’t be much of it. The better, clearer sound is at the end.
I only ran it through a 9V adapter. I was told that battery power was not a good idea.
I put the vibe before the delay, and the two in combination were nice. Then on sunday afternoon, I had friends over. Danny spent some time with it and seemed to enjoy it as well.
For the money, it’s a good time. I can recommend it so far.
