Critic Reviews

DJ-8 Hash Browns Flanger Review: I've been playing guitar for 1 1/2 and I own a... | Danelectro | Guitar Effects | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

ultimate-guitar.com

The Danelectro DJ-8 Hash Browns Flanger is an affordable and reliable pedal praised for its excellent sound, especially for punk and rock genres. Its compact size and ease of use make it a convenient choice for musicians on the go. However, the lack of detailed markings on the controls can make it challenging to regain specific tones if the knobs are moved. While the pedal is durable, caution is advised to avoid heavy stomping. Overall, it's a decent flanger option, though not without its quirks.

the greatest "for cheap" Flanger sound out there

this was the first pedal I ever bought and i couldn't figure out how to hook it in for 6 months. I was a newb, okay! hahah then once i figured out how, it blew my mind. This has a fantastic sound. The jet sweep on this is the greatest tone it has, although it's also a good clone for an Electric Mistress as it has an out of control swirl to it. It also contains one of the weirdest, most vibey vibrative qualities to it. It's definitely worth getting as an experiment pedal, or if you're a big fan of Flanger you MUST get this to go with the other Flanger sounds you've got, as I'm sure you don't have this sound. Danelectro pedals aren't always good, or worth buying, but this one among a few others are absolutely worth it.

This thing is worth tasting and freaky looking too

Cheap. But not crap as you could think at first glance. Cheesy look which I adore, a sense of humour is here. And the flanger effect that it gives suits me okay. For noe retro 90's new wave sound it's all ready to go. three controls.. well enough. If you don't take gear seriously as hell - this baby is alright. A giant purple bug at your feet, wooombling and bleeeeping and whooooing... a cool pedal.
