Danelectro Chicken Salad Vibe Mod

Easy way to upgrade your Dano CS.Just take the red glue dab off the yellow trimpot to control the light intensity. Use an xacto to gently separate the glue around the black photocell housing and the top comes off easily. Make sure to poke holes in the foil while the foil is on the inside of the lid. When dismantling the pedal use patience and finesse getting the pcb's out. Pretty cool results!

Did you figure how to do this from my guitars101 tutorial?

I read about it somewhere, tried it and posted this video because I could not find a vid anywhere else. I thought it would help people to see it.

Could you make a video after the mod? Because i did one myself, and it brought nothing to the sound :) After two hours of messing with screwdriver i found out that the factory settings were best :)

I plan on making another vid. When adjusting the trimpot I had the intensity up all the way. My next vid will show different trimpot settings. Long live univibe!

Yeah tried an adapter touched the screw driver to the speed knob pot and some smoke came out of the speed knob pot and the trimpot. I can still vary the brightness but didn't get any strobe. I remember smelling smoke when it first stopped strobing I think I got some fried chicken salad. It's just a nightlight right now.

Sorry to hear it. When you have it apart it pays to be careful not to let the two boards short on anything. If you get another one try a very small screwdriver. At least you tried messing with it, take it easy!

what kind of switch does this thing have? I'm hoping to rehouse a danelectro and the FABs have a really weird switch

When is your next video??? It's been a year.

[Robokiller80]

Yeah I think that was my tutorial, you even did the tin foil thing!! Great Job!

do the knobs come off? I cannot seem to remove the PCB from the casing.

Any help would be appreciated as I would like to do this mod.
