The knobs on the front don't bother me. I opened it up and it looks like true bypass, not "fake" true bypass but the real deal.
It just brings out more of my actual guitar tone for less dinero.
Solarburn, how do you run your rig. Do you use both amps in stereo or one for clean one for dist, or both simultaneously. Or do you use the amps separately?
And if you do use them together how do you split your signal, are you using the VS and the CTO on each amp?
Sorry for all the questions but I have a Marshall and an el84 single ended amp that I am using together in various ways with the Danelectro and the Fulltone as my boost pedals so I am just looking for what options others prefer.

Did I not tell ya it is the shiznit man. The picking dynamics are A1 man and great with volume roll off. Well now I am running them separate and I'm not gigging right now. Just learn'n more tunes and jamm'n with friends. The Night Train is really different voiced than the Marshall and I would prolly only use it in small settings for blues jams when playing out. Its only 15 watts so it is limited unless miced.
The Marshall I use for everything. So I'm definitely using the CTO-1 with it and the Route 808 for another gain flavor. By the way I can hear tone being effected using the 808 when its off. Just a hair different from going straight into the amp. With the CTO-1 I can't detect any difference from going straight in when the pedal is off.
I have to say the Dano really makes the NT a better playing amp. The tube change helped of course but the pedal made the biggest difference with it. It is so finicky I don't think there is another OD pedal that can meld with it. So I don't use any of my other OD's with it. They just don't sound good enough.
Right now I just play my amps separately and put the Dano in front of which ever one I'm playing. I have it set up at home to be an easy change but no A/B switch which would be easier. I just don't own one yet. If I were to run them both I would use an A/B pedal to switch between them. I don't think I would play them in stereo together. Voiced too differently. I don't know. Guess I'd actually have to try it to be able to say for sure.
