The Danelectro Nichols 1966 is a wonderfully odd little gain pedal with a genuinely unique story behind it. Based on a circuit created by Danelectro owner Steve Ridinger in his parents' garage back in 1966, it's neither a fuzz nor a distortion, but something delightfully in between.
With separate Fuzz and Drive controls, the Nichols 1966 covers a huge amount of ground, from gritty vintage overdrive to spluttering fuzz and all sorts of wonderfully unruly sounds in between. It's responsive, full of character and refreshingly different from the endless parade of clones and copies.
