Danelectro is a US designer and importer of musical instruments and accessories, specializing in guitars, bass guitars, amplifiers, and effects units. The current owners bought the name in the late 1990s from the original Danelectro company, an American manufacturer of electric guitars and amplifiers that went out of business in 1969.

History

The original Danelectro company was founded by Nathan "Nat" Daniel in 1947. Throughout the late 1940s, the company produced amplifiers for Sears, Roebuck and Company and Montgomery Ward. In 1954, Danelectro started producing the Danelectro lines of solidbody electric guitars and amplifiers. The company also made guitars and amplifiers under contract that were branded with the names of various store brands, such as Silvertone (Sears) and Airline (Montgomery Ward).

Later, Danelectro manufactured hollow-bodied guitars, which they constructed out of Masonite and poplar to save costs and increase production speed. These were distinguished by Silvertone's maroon vinyl covering, and Danelectro's light tweed covering. They used concentric stacked tone/volume knobs on the two-pickup models of both series—and "lipstick-tube" pickups, which contained the pickup components inside lipstick tubes.

Danelectro's goal was to produce no-frills guitars of reasonably good tone at low cost. In 1956, Danelectro introduced the six-string baritone guitar. The baritone guitar never became popular, but found an enduring niche in Nashville for "tic-tac" bass lines.

In 1966, Danelectro was sold to MCA. A year later, in 1967, they introduced the Coral line, known for its hollow-bodies and electric sitars.[vd 1][vg 2]

In 1969, Danelectro closed down, due to MCA's attempt to market Danelectros to small guitar shops rather than large department stores.

In the late 1990s, an importer called the Evets Corporation purchased the name and began selling imported copies of old Silvertone and Danelectro guitars, and newly designed effects pedals and small amplifiers made in China.[vg 3] After initially selling well, guitar sales slowed and Danelectro stopped selling guitars after 2001 (2004 on official site[2]) to concentrate on effects pedals. In 2006 (2005 on official site[3]), new owners of Evets decided on a new marketing model for guitars, selling a limited number each year.[vg 4]

Effects pedals

Three Danelectro effects pedals. Left to right: Fab Tone distortion, Cool Cat chorus and Daddy O. overdrive.

Today, Danelectro primarily designs and imports effect pedals. They market eight pedals lines: original effects, FAB effects, mini effects, vintage effects, Wasabi effects, Paisley effects, Cool Cat effects and other miscellaneous effects. All run on 9 volt batteries or power adapters. The original effects featured metal enclosures and [field effect transistor|FET] switching. Cool Cat models are the most recent pedals, designed with metal enclosures and true-bypass switching. Danelectro has begun rolling out Cool Cat V2 pedals, featuring extra 'under the hood' features. Mini effects pedals are smaller,[vg 12] compact pedals with effects resembling those of the original effects and the FAB effects. Vintage effects include the large, rectangular Spring King and Reel Echo effect pedals.[D 35] The discontinued Paisley series featured paisley-patterned drive effects in original style enclosures. The Wasabi series features large, futuristic-looking metal enclosures. FAB effects are the cheapest of the bunch, and feature plastic enclosures somewhat larger than the Mini effects series.

In 2006, Danelectro began selling a carrying case that holds up to five mini effects. When the player is ready to play, the top may be removed and the bottom acts as a pedals board. It has since been discontinued.[17] Not long after, another carrying case was developed to fit five FAB or Cool Cat pedals, as well as serve in the pedal board function as well.[D 121]

Despite the advantages of the mini effects, FAB effects are more common. The Mini effects are less expensive, but the plastic construction makes them fragile.
