Re: [Harp-L] Lee Oskar's quality is slipping

Hey Jimmy --  I tried the Dano Fab Echo a year ago, and reviewed it on my
blog.  I liked it for slapback echo, but noted the absence of a "Delay Time"
control.  You can adjust the number of repeats and the mix, but not the
delay time.  If you turn the Repeats control to the minimum you get a single
echo, or slapback.  Then, the only adjustment left is mix.  The Fab Echo is
essentially a one-knob pedal for harp players.

The pedal is not noisy, and it is pretty sturdy.  The LED pilot light is a
brilliant blue color.  For fifteen bucks you just can't go wrong.  I ended
up giving it away to my girlfriend's guitar-playing son (he thought it was
great) after I bought the Delta Lab delay pedal: $59.99 at Guitar Center.  I
heart cheap delay pedals, and it sounds great.

I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion of the Fab Echo pedal.
