I might sell my MXR Dist+ (essentially new - still has the box)
or
My Rocktron Metal Planet.

PM me if you're interested.

Don't laugh about that second one. The parametric in it will take you from AM Radio to Hell and Fire Raining down (and everything in the middle) for cheap.
It's an excellent bass fuzz too. Nasty stuff.

You know about the D+ already.

I guess that's one of the differences between a decent pedal and a thrown-together plastic chunk of shit.

Danelectro stuff chews through batteries like mad. I have no idea why.

Lovetone - Cheese Source.

EHX - Big Muff.

The Cheese Source is the greatest most versatile distortion I've ever heard.

The Muff is fuzzy, like a kitty.

Crowther Hotcake into semi-cranked AC30 for grind, green Sovtek Big Muff for fuzz. occassionally a clean booster set to max. output to push the input just enough to bark.

Danelectro pedeals have a very intense buffering circuit, that is, they're boosting the hell out of your signal even (especially) when they're not turned on. Not a bad thing to put at the beginning of your chain, if you've got a lot of other budget pedals after it, but too much of that buffering (more than two Danelectros) and you'll start to sound really glassy, trebly and painful, like turning the top end of a graphic EQ all the way up.

But if you're trying to force some tone through some intense tonesucking, yet cool (DOD, I'm looking at you) monstrosities, it might be worth tossing a 9V power supply to the Danny.

Just make sure you use the Danelectro brand Hum Free ones. Almost nothing else works, even OneSpots with Dano gear.
I have no idea why.

The good news is that they are only 10 bucks, and you can daisy chain many pedals from that one adapter.

my onespot works fine with my Danelectro fish&chips

Do you use it with other effects in line?
You're the only guy I've met who has had luck.

Every single Dano box I have, including a F&C, hums until I plug a Dano No Hum adapter into it. It took me a long time to suss this out, and finally I took the suggestion in the instructions.
I mean I *never* used Boss adapters on Boss gear - an adapter is an adapter in the polarity and ma is correct, right?
