nathan nat daniel in 1947 . throughout the late 1940s the company produced amplifiers for sears roebuck and company and montgomery ward . in 1954 danelectro started producing the danelectro lines of solidbody electric guitars and amplifiers . the company was also contracted to make guitars and amplifiers that were branded not with the danelectro name but with the names of various store brands such as silvertone sears and airline montgomery ward . later danelectro manufactured hollow bodied guitars which were constructed out of masonite and plywood to save costs and increase production speed and which were distinguished by silvertone s maroon vinyl covering and danelectro s light tweed covering . the concentric stacked tone volume knobs were used on the two pickup models of both series as well as the lipstick tube pickups which placed the entire pick up mechanism into war surplus lipstick tubes . all the while danelectro s goal was to produce no frills guitars of reasonably good tone at low cost . in 1956 danelectro introduced the six string baritone guitar . the baritone guitar never proved especially popular but found an enduring niche in nashville as the instrument of choice for tic tac bass lines . in 1966 danelectro was sold to mca . a year later the coral line known for its hollow bodies and electric sitars was introduced . in 1969 the danelectro plant was closed due to mca s attempt to market danelectros to small guitar shops rather than large department stores . in the late 1990s the evets corporation started selling primarily copies of old silvertone and danelectro guitars as well as newly designed effects pedals and small amplifiers . after initially selling well guitar sales slowed to the point where danelectro stopped selling guitars after 2001 opting to concentrate on effects pedals . in 2006 the new owners of evets decided on a new marketing model for the guitars selling a limited number of guitars each year . 1 amplifiers edit amp in case

primarily produces effect pedals . there are eight main runs of pedals original effects fab effects mini effects vintage effects wasabi effects paisley effects cool cat effects and other miscellaneous effects . all run on 9v batteries or power adapters . the original effects featured metal enclosures and fet switching . cool cat models are the most recent pedals designed with metal enclosures and true bypass switching . danelectro has begun rolling out cool cat v2 pedals featuring extra under the hood features . mini effects pedals are smaller compact pedals with effects resembling those of the original effects and the fab effects . vintage effects include the large rectangular spring king and reel echo effect pedals . the discontinued paisley series featured paisley patterned drive effects in original style enclosures . the wasabi series features large futuristic looking metal enclosures . fab effects are the cheapest of the bunch and feature plastic enclosures somewhat larger than the mini effects series . in 2006 a carrying case was developed to hold up to five mini effects in it . when the player is ready to play the top may be removed and the bottom acts as a pedals board . it has since been discontinued . 4 not long after another carrying case was developed to fit five fab or cool cat pedals as well as serve in the pedal board function as well . 5 despite the many advantages of the mini effects fab effects are the ones primarily seen today . the mini effects are often praised for their high quality tones but the plastic construction makes them fragile .

effect pedals is a budget range of pedals made by the danelectro company that are manufactured in china . the series was launched in 2005 with the release of the fab distortion fab overdrive and the
