Need someone stateside interested in rehousing a Dano delay

[midwayfair]

A customer contacted me about doing this. I've never rehoused a danelectro but I figure some other people have and could probably do a good job. PM me and I can put him in touch with you.

You'll also get a kick out of the hack job of JHS's mod to this pedal, which involves sticking a knob an inch away from the footswitch.

Is there anything that guy won't slap a sticker on for $40?

You'll never guess where he put the knob ...

Pm'd out of curiosity

it's a fairly straightforward operation, and time consuming to do "right"

Hardwire the effect switch to always on.
Hardwire the power switch to on. It uses transistor switching, so replace the pcb mounted switch with leads from a momentary switch of your choice. Replace the 9v input jack with our standard. Remove and rewire the led. You might move the pots off the board as well and convert them into standard ones. They follow resistor code... A103 = A100k and so on and so on. Upgrade the input and output jacks. Use a regular 3pdt switch and standard wiring to convert to true bypass.

Get a new enclosure - finish and drill the appropriate holes, rock it before you box it, and then do so.

It's a LOT of work on a $25 pedal, that he's spent $40 in mods and shipping on.

Clearly I've done a few of these, but not in a while. I don't work on anything Danelectro anymore. I don't support hate and the owner does. I know he's got his money already, etc etc. I feel better not working on them, and letting people know why.

Edit: added correct info

Have you tried manually wiring the input/output of the effect and using a 3PDT?

Whoever gets it post a gutshot!!

Blame 3:15am in the morning.

Yeah. I meant what you said. I haven't worked on any of those since I found out. Dano took down his guide around the same time, so the memory was a bit sketchy, especially at 3:15am
