UPGRADED COOL CAT PEDALS INTRODUCED

Danelectro’s comprehensive Cool Cat range of effects pedals is now augmented by the addition of three 'V2' pedal upgrades, the CO-2 Cool Cat Overdrive, the CTO-2 Transparent Overdrive and the CF-2 Fuzz.

The new models have many added features and are eagerly anticipated by pedalheads given the amazing range of sounds already available from the Cool Cat pedal range.

To complement the Cool Cat pedal range, don't forget that Danelectro also offesr a super-neat dedicated Cool Cat pedal board case! This classy looking case actually holds up to 5 ‘Cats’ and includes a linked DC power supply and all the patch cables you’ll need.

The V2 CO-2 Overdrive (below, £44.99 rrp) has an ‘Input Sensitivity’ trimpot which allows the user to customise the drive to suit the output of their guitar, ie you're able to match it to single coil or humbucker output levels for optimum response. It also has a ‘Lo Fi’ DIP switch that allows the user to choose a second frequency range for a more raw and unrefined drive tone.

The Drive control responds like a valve amp would, where low end/mids also increase with gain, saturating and fattening the overdrive. Brightening the Tone keeps the treble harmonics happening though. Good interaction between the controls - knock back the Drive, keep the Volume up and the sound cleans up to a driving rhythm crunch that’s good and solid, nice crunching chords.

The V2 CTO-2 Transparent Overdrive (below, £49.99 rrp) has no less than four DIP switches situated in the base of the battery compartment, 3 of which allow the user to choose soft, medium, or hard clipping distortion types (red LED, blue LED or FET clipping). The fourth DIP switch provides a +6 dB gain boost; over the standard +6dB clean boost the pedal offers, that's a stonking +12dB of total gain on tap!

Meantime, the treble and bass boost/cut EQ available on the middle dual concentric control allows more refinement in the overdriven sound, like the crunch channel on an amp, where the sound can be kept more defined.

Turning the Volume right up provides the basic +6dB clean boost too, ideal, say, for modern nu-country lead guitar sounds where you want a touch of bite and grit in the sound.

The V2 Cool Cat Fuzz (below, £54.99 rrp) utilises the same characteristics of the original CC Fuzz unit, with not so much a bright or fizzy fuzz but more of an articulate, liquid sound via the Input Sensitivity Control.

Add Red or Green LED's into the feedback loop via the internal DIP switches to 'smooth' the distortion and adjust the 'feel' and the fuzz headroom. A further DIP switch activates output clipping to 'square off' the waveform offering another well-known distortion tone.

Try using the Fuzz pedal early in your chain and turning your guitar's volume down for tonal variety - the big secret of using a fuzz is to turn the guitar volume down against the pedal output for those classic overdriven guitar sounds from the 60’s.

“By far these new Cool Cats have the best tone of anything we have ever made!" - Danelectro.
