The warmth of 'all-tube" echo and the convenience of a pedal.
The Danelectro DE-1 Dan-Echo Guitar Pedal has hi-cut controls that splice the highs on repeats to perfectly simulate the tone of a 60s-era tape echo. Studio quiet. Includes 9V battery.
What I like best about my Dan-Echo is that it has a very natural sounding delay. Most of the other digital delays I tried sounded really, well, "digital:" kind of harsh and brittle, and not very pleasing or musical. Then Dan-o is much smoother, and it's easier to dial in a nice classic tone. Downside is that it's not nearly as durable as a Boss or DOD pedal. Its main body is metal, but the knobs are on a plastic insert, and the jacks are plastic and are not mounted to the case. If you accidentally step on the knobs or the in/out cables, it's toast. Overall I like the Dan-Echo, but I wish they had made it a bit more rugged.

Danelectro DE-1 Dan-Echo Guitar Pedal. Sounds good, has some tone colorization but not bad, great sound but needs tap tempo. I like the pedal but eventually decided it needed to be replaced.

I love this pedal. With the time switch on short, you can get some great slap-back rocka-a-billy sounds, and with it switched to long, it acts more like a standard delay. The best function, though, is the hi-cut which rolls off progressively more highs on each echo, making it sound like tape delay. My only wish is that it had a tap tempo, but I can pretty much tweak it to get the delay times I need. I can go from Carl Perkins to Dave Gilmour with one pedal.

This is a nice sounding pedal if you want a very basic, no frills delay. I prefer a DL4 or even an Echo park by Line 6 because I liketo use a lot of different delay sounds. But for the price you cannot go wrong with the dan-echo.
