Danelectro DJ-8C Hash Browns Flanger Mini Effects Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Danelectro specializes in inexpensive, funky equiptment with a strong sonic stamp. The Hash Browns flanger provides a delicious analog flanging effect. This isn't a clean, transparent flanger like you might get in a pricier pedal from Digitech and it isn't half as versatile as the legendary Electric Mistress. But it does what it does - and it does it very well. In fact, I prefer the Hash Browns sound to many more expensive flanging effects in rackmounts.
Unfortunately, an inexpensive price also means that the construction isn't very sturdy. This is a tiny pedal that's safest on a desktop or on your bedroom floor. But I wouldn't want to imagine what would happen if you used this pedal onstage. It's so lightweight that if it weren't secured to a pedalboard, it would lift right off! It's also a royal pain to change the battery on this thing - the entire bottom of the pedal must be removed, which is another accident waiting to happen.
I recommend using the Hash Browns for practice or for recording, especially for desktop/home producers. It's got a great, distinctive sound but I wish the pedal were built sturdier!
