Danelectro DJ-1 Pastrami Overdrive Description
A spiced-up overdrive with great sustain.

If I remember correctly, pastrami is chunky with little sand-like kernels.. This pedal will emboss a rocky relief on your signal as such, but in a blurry, blunt, low-rez kind of way. I like it. Tones are reminiscent of Ron Asheton snarls and Greg Ginn sledges. And, thanks to the WTO, it's "cheap as chips!" Bottoms up boys and girls, there's a new toy you must have.. Maybe good for crappy-dad blues as well, but I don't know.

Don't laugh, but I actually bought one of these pedals.

It has a really bizarre, fuzzy, nasal, pignose kind of overdrive to it. I figure that it might work as a psychedelic distortion effect on some crazy instrument in the studio one day. I haven't actually found a use for it yet.

The thing is made out of cheap plastic, so its more at home in a studio situation than on stage.

I'll need to pull it out of my closet and put this thing to use on a lead guitar, or a digital piano soon. Thanks for reminding me of this little baby!

It would be more fun to run the signal through the CZ101

Now that would be one hell of a mod project...
