In the mid 1990s, the Evets Corporation relaunched the Danelectro brand, but instead of offering quirky guitar designs from the '50s and '60s, the initial return of Danelectro introduced a line of new effect pedals to the 1996 NAMM show. The lineup included a chorus, an overdrive, a distortion, a delay, and pedalboard-friendly stage tuner. These retro-themed pedals were housed in heavy-duty die-cast enclosures, and they featured FET switching. They were sold at reasonably accessible prices, but they were quality pedals. Because of that, these somewhat quirky pedals are  responsible for the classic sounds heard on countless '90s recordings. 

The "Fab Tone" covered the high-gain distortion side of the original Danelectro '90s pedal lineup. The Fab Tone is a powerful pedal. It produces a wall of distortion and saturation. It's got some fuzziness to it, but it can also produce smooth heavy metal sounds. Nevertheless, everything it does is high-gain. There is no cleaning up with this pedal, and that's not the point. The Fab Tone blasts, and you've got treble and bass controls to help shape the EQ. 

This 1990s Danelectro DD-1 Fab Tone shows some minor scuffs, but it is in excellent condition all around, and it functions 100% as it should. The protective plastic is still in place on the battery clip, and it doesn't appear to have been used very much. According to the original marketing speak, "this hot little box delivers the definitive vintage distortion." If your definition of "definitive vintage distortion" is high-gain wall of sound, then they hit it right on the mark.
