Day 12 - 30 Pedals in 30 days - Danelectro Cool Cat Transparent Overdrive CoolCat NAMM '10 2010

[SrDeMaFp]

I can't believe a cheap OD sounds THAT good! I'm buying one as we speak! Thanks TTK!

[DuhJeffmeister]

can you have a video where your guitar is clean instead of driven?

[servantguitar]

i have the version 1 of this pedal, and it's a LOT of pedal. Definitely the loudest overdrive i've owned, and sounds great.

[center2cents]

Your demos are the best!  I really learn a lot. Ever consider doing a demo of the Okko Diablo? Thanks for the great vids.

[58TweedDeluxe]

..."doesn't alter my guitar's natural tone...."

[Ninjaro]

Ok,

I can appreciate a guy reviewing gear and all, but don't put "NAMM 2010" in the title because you aren't doing this at NAMM and some of us are looking for videos of the NAMM show, not a million and one gear reviews.

[MincedFeet]

Thank you

[GNRrockerdude]

I think the jet city amp sounds way better with an overdrive out front

[PlayerZen14]

TTK: I love your videos and the products you review. I really like how connected you are with your listeners but like snuif9 said, I would appreciate it if you tried playing some different riffs/genres when reviewing stuff.

Thanks 5/5 nonetheless!

[snuif9]

excellent review thanks im thinkking of getting this one for my mesa DC-5

i also would aprreciate it if you play some thrash/death metal riffs too with your reviews alot of people play that style and so i can even easier see if the product is right =)

thanks

[sergeant137]

@snuif9 this sounds ok but Danelectro's FAB tone pedals sound much better

[ThexMetalxWithin]

how dare you! you didnt start off with one of these bad boys \m/ lol

[cmrcs]

I've got V1 and I love it. I got it because the markup on Tubescreamers is ridiculous in Canada but I was pleasantly surprised. Not a huge fan of the concentric treble/bass knobs but I don't mess with them much anyway.

[SkootSucksAtLife]

wow that jet city takes pedals very well!

[GNRrockerdude]

too bad it doesn't have an FX loop and no reverb. could really use one or the other.

[tony93666]

Dano pedals have always been good values

[TheSHINGOEV]

can you review the pinnacle 2 ?

by the way sounds good

[BlueBarrier782]

How would you compare it to the normal cool cat overdrive? I wasn't a big fan of it to be honest, as it felt like it thinned my tone a lot. Is this different to you?

[CowardlyShoe69]

does it make you mad that you play the same terrible riffs all the time? it sure makes me mad.

[lmsjr]

It makes me furious. Actually, I am not allowed to play copyrighted music, or I risk getting my videos muted and / or pulled. So, my options are limited to TTK Licks. I hope you understand and aren't as mad anymore:-) thanks! Keep the faith!. I'm just trying to provide a service, while having fun! Thanks, TTK

[Esuohretep]

you've heard of pro guitar shop demos? Its wierd... they play copyrighted licks in almost all of their videos and none of them are pulled or muted.

[joelbyrne]

Yeah you cant play copyrighted material but use ur imagination and play some proper music

[mozzy2410]

@lmsjr - Legend answer, hahaha...

[buffylover2007]

@lmsjr

This fits in with the rest of my low budget gear

[Keepsu]

@CowardlyShoe69

What a lame thing to say.

[ZEGO24x]

@CowardlyShoe69 - Owned...

[odnick]

Very nice way to thicken your tone without changing your tone

[FilthyInsomniac]

I actually like it I like that thicker tone it gives that's really awesome

[retrac314]

Hey TTK, I'm a big fan of your videos. This was a great review; I was just wondering if you would consider doing at least some of each demo in Standard tuning? I find it easier to appreciate the real tone of something in Standard. Thanks, rock on!

[kesx]

Wow sounds really good! I use an ibanez turbo tube screamer modded by Keeley. Sounds alot like that. I run it right in front of the amp!

[borded619]

i like the harmonics

[guitardbucket]

I like it. It seems like the Cool Cat pedals are a really good value with really good performance.

[edward892]

No Devil hand on Friday the 13th?.....heh. The pedal will be cursed to 7 weeks bad luck.

[Zztop128]

I didn't get

"one of the bad boys right there"

[anubiz03]

Love it, sounds really nice. And didn't know about those secret settings.

[agsmd793]

is V2 better than V1?

[smoss469]

V2 has the switching options that V1 did not have. The CC-TOD is a PaulC Audio Timmy Clone. They made V2 to 'differentiate' the pedal from his but ended up making it more like his Tim pedal that way.

[StateAD]

I think i like this Jet city amp & sounds really good with this pedal. It helps the harmonys come through. I like your classic TTK riff :D

Thanks for this upload, take care!

[DirectInjctionOMetal]

Sounds nice, I've heard good things about these before; certainly does a decent job. Love these videos btw, wouldn't mind seeing a comparison of some graphic EQ pedals like MXR 10 band, Boss GE-7 & Dan Electro Fish n Chips.

[hellsing1983]

Love it:D If I want an overdrive I will take this:) Good review:)

[thomson125]

Maybe not the greatest tone I've heard, but that pedal shore did it's job good.

[SparcoRX7]

Awesome, I love these pedals so much :D Insane for the price.

[GNRrockerdude]

I think it's doing a great job making the tone more biting. Great value.

[DaveDoggOwns]

All you do is play the same thing over and over again.

[suihkubad]

If he is demonstrating the pedal, what should he play?

[DaveDoggOwns]

Anything but that riff.

[weldfish]

Sounds good. I have Dano distortion pedal, really like it.

[somehornybastard]

EQ pedals next please! Id kill to see MXR 6 or 10 band EQ, Danelectro Fish N Chips, or even the boss equalizer.

Awesome reviews TTK. Love this pedal.

[bleedingfly]

The Boss GE-7 EQ is better than the 6 band MXR EQ (Black one). I like all the other MXR pedals tho', even the ZW-44, which is pretty unreliable.

[nght5tlkr]

It really depends if you need the volume boost/cut on the BOSS rather than a deeper frequency boost/cut on the MXR.

[Satch7699]

I used to have the Dano Fab Tone Distortion, at the time I thought I loved it, then i thought i hated it because it wasn't a boss pedal, but now looking back on it I think that it could have been a good pedal knowing that i could tame the distortion with my guitars volume. TK Rocks!

[nght5tlkr]

BTW, you have the title reading Day 13 when today is only the 12th.

[lmsjr]

haha - consider Day 13 delievered a day early :-)

[ace69er]

It IS the 13th in my part of the world!

MY birthday!

[nght5tlkr]

Well, you did reply 10 hours after me...

Have a happy anniversary of your date of birth!

[nght5tlkr]

I did not know about those dip switches. Are they available on all of the Danelectro Cool Cat pedals?
