Danelectro DJ16 Bacon N' Eggs Review

History:

Purchase: Purchased at Guitar Center in Eugene, OR. Was $30 but on sale for $20. I suppose this is really a "guitar amplifier" but it's usually listed with the other effects, as it is in the same product line as all the other mini pedals tha are all effects.

Pros: Portability. The unit is small enough to fit in a pants pocket, and still packs some punch. Runs for about 2 weeks on a single 9V battery.



Cons: Nothing. Oh wait it doesn't have a headphone out, but then I wasn't looking for a headphone amp now was I?

DJ16 Bacon N' Eggs Quality: Little orange box with a small (2-3") speaker and a pushbutton on-off footswitch. Seems pretty durable. I havent moshed on it but I've stepped on it pretty hard and it's still holding up. 1 input and 1 output, it apparently works as a straight distortion box when connected to another amplifier, but I haven't had the opportunity to test that yet, as I have another amp, but only 1 cable so if I connect the pedal to the amp I can't connect the axe to the pedal *doh!* :)

Danelectro Summary: Great unit! If you need a portable practice amp this is the one to get. Simple construction (input/output/on-off switch) it doesn't have any tone/trem/reverb to drive up the price like on some other "mini" amps. Why spend $50 on a miniature cabinet amp when you can get a real one for $70?
