Fuck yeah. I remember back when UA-cam videos were just cool shit like this instead of 30 minute commercials. Love you guys. Thank you for always keeping me inspired to make music. Color box for life
I am so glad to be a guitar player at the same time that people like Josh, Brian Wampler, Marty Schwartz and Mick and Dan are doing their thing! The absolute golden age of guitar at a time when popular music has completely abandoned the instrument.
yeah.....more of "us" are "all geared up " like never before, but with nowhere to go except the memory hole of inter-nowhere (i.e. a literal technarchic 'utopia" = yup, we're in it right now).
This was the first pedal that I modified, and I loved the way it turned out. It was my gateway to me starting my business. Unfortunately I had it in storage and my unit got broken into and a bunch of my collectable pedals got stolen, including this one. This was definitely a walk down memory lane. Thank you Josh.
That was a great episode. I was so comforting to see you just calmly react to the "road blocks" that were thrown at you and you just handle them, your a pro at this and I can definitely keep your level headedness in mind or me when things "just don't go the way I was thinking they should" in the future. Thank you!
This was thoroughly entertaining, thank you so much Josh! So many things were great about it. I love that you repaired the pedal and sent it back to Robby. I of course love this pedal (having bought it when it was still pretty much new) and I love learning about it. Glad that you were able to work through the various tuning/power issues and ended up with something you were happy with. I still use my pedal all the time (having modded it a while back with my friend's help). Regarding the price of these on the used market, I agree with Josh in that I don't think they should sell for extreme amounts of money just because of this video. If anything, it's a good reason to investigate other pieces of reasonably priced gear. Don't just stick to what other people have already made famous and potentially expensive.
So about the 57 minute mark you have now entered into my daily life😜 It's comforting knowing i'm not alone....... btw- fixing the pad was an awesome bonus teaching moment,
When I was getting started with electric guitar, I bought a Keeley Oxblood overdrive which I like to this day. But after several months I noticed the phat toggle switch was becoming intermittent. I contacted Keeley tech support and asked if I should try resoldering the switch to the circuit board before going to the hassle of mailing it to them for repair. I was told to go ahead if I felt comfrtable with doing so. I've been a Extra Class Amateur Radio operator for over 40 years, so yeah, I'm, comfortable with soldering. Sure enough, the toggle switch legs were barely attached to the circuit board. I added a little more solder to the legs and it was back in business. Your struggle with the electrolytic capacitor brought back this memory. Also being 5 hours into a 30 minute project is a familar meme.
G'day Josh, It's good to see you back in Short Circuit again. I popped into a local pawn broker earlier this year, and found a Daddy-O & an 18v Cool Cat in the music section. In my mind, I know that these pedals are 20+ years old. Twenty years of people stomping on them, turning knobs, beer, cigarette smoke, cat/dog hair, and just general misuse. I know that they're worn out. But, they sound just sooooo sweet. Within a few months, I managed to collect all of the first series Danelectro pedals (except the 9v Cool Cat), and they're all great. All I need to complete the collection is a Danelectro guitar. I have found a 59x12 - it's twice what I want to spend, but it seems to be half the usual price. For future Short Circuit episodes, I'd like to see more pedal mods. I'd prefer to see mods on some of the cheaper pedals, such as DS-1, SD-1, or EH-X pedals. I know I can get them at a reasonable price. Maybe you can alternate between circuit builds & pedal mods. Thanks again for another great video. Andrew
I love these videos. I have over 50 pedals, and almost all of them I've built myself. Pedal building has to be one of the most rewarding hobbies because at the end of the project, you have a unique and wonderful thing you can love and appreciate forever. I just bought a colorbox during the Ross livestream because I absolutely need at least 1 jhs pedal on my board. Thanks for doing these videos josh.
“There’s no way in the world this capacitor in a Daddy O shut the power in my home down” goes down as one of those sentences that has never been said before and will never be said again
Oh yeah! Short Circuit is back! Im happy to see it. I cant wait to see what we have planned for a circuit to get into! Josh mentioned near the end of the previous series that we would be going through the notorious and revered Fuzz Face and that would be fantastic however I for one would not mind at all if the plans changed, Im just happy to see we are back I cant wait to get breadboarding along with Josh!
I bought a brand new boxed Daddy O when they were first issued, but had to return it after a few days. I lived in East London and the Daddy O was constantly picking up Dutch radio transmissions.
The Danelectro Fab Chorus is still my favorite chorus pedal I've ever owned. I've had about half a dozen others, and have eventually sold almost all of them. Cheap does not mean bad.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Also, I like that you keep rolling when challenges arise. It help me see the troubleshooting techniques and the thought process behind prioritizing the order of things to check.
I have and love the PB&J delay and the Tuna Melt Tremolo. Fantastic pedals. I also have the milkshake chorus which is pretty good too, but the other two are special.
My favorite Dan-O pedal was the 18v Cool Cat chorus. I gigged on it and a Daddy-O for years. I eventually got an overdrive I liked a lot better but I used the Cool cat until it died; it got a distorted fuzzy tail to the notes so I sold it as a project. A shame, because it was the best slow churning Leslie in a pedal I'd heard up to then.
The Daddy-O was my first and second OD pedal. The purple echo from the same line was also my first and second echo pedals. It was always the 1/4” jacks that went bad in them for me.
Heyoh, Josh and JHS! 👋🤓 Just got my black Notaklön! Still haven't assembled my white one, haha! I think I'll give it to a guitar buddy of mine. Thanx for everything; the knowledge and the laughs!
The Daddio was my first guitar pedal. My first one got destroyed by a flood, but then a few years ago I found another one in a pawn shop for next to nothing.
I had a few big Dano pedals, including this one. They are tanks. I've never modded a pedal, but did build some things in the 80s when I didn't have much money. I must have sent off for some plans (something like Guitar Secrets?). I remember recording on my 4-track cassette using a distortion I made when things started to sound (and smell) funny. I looked over and smoke was coming out of the thing. I bought a few DOD pedals after that. Loved the video and seeing you deal with the various issues. Reminded me of many projects I've worked on.
This takes me back to being a kid, guitar shop guy selling me this telling me it will give me the grunge sound. Me getting it home and it sounding like bees in a tin can. Then the depression set in.
If every day was a perfect day life would be boring and you wouldn't learn anything. The trace repair was great, been there done that. Nothing wrong with note cards. Thanks!!!
1:09:28 for the bass that got skipped. Thanks for the video, I've been meaning to mod my Daddy O. Never done a mod before, other than add a led or switch irritatingly bright leds to reasonable ones, the opposite of what you did. :D
Thanks for this! This was actually the first pedal I bought as a teen and was.. kinda disappointed. Found it in a box recently after like 25 years and really appreciate it, but cool to see it can be improved
Yep - I really can’t believe I’m watching and enjoying this! I guess that’s what happens when the pedal bug gets you. I have a danelectro chilli dog octaver with a broken / faulty switch. Feels like I should get the back off. Thanks Josh 👍
Hi Josh, great video on a great pedal. Like the changes you made. Question???? If you wouldn't of had the pad lifting issue with the "bass" capacitor, what value would you have recommended be installed? Thanks!
It's simple opamp gain stage followed by hard clipping diodes, a simple tone stack and then a gain recovery stage. I think the power amplifier chip also overdrives when the amp is cranked and adds to the cool sound
I really dont go in for schadenfreude but with the broken cap, possibly trace, chronically out of tune and power outage during episode 13?? I have to admit I had a couple giggles but I was laughing with ya, not at ya! Loved the show and cant wait for more thank you Josh!!
speaking of fumes, sometimes at work i barely do any welding for a day but when i get home my snot is all black just from people around me welding, extraction and, in the case of welding, fresh air helmet is a must (when i weld all day i'm fine cause of the fresh air helmet)
The cool cat chorus was a great sounding chorus then and now. They also had one of their super cheap smaller pedals that was yellow and I think it was a tremolo that I really liked. And when I say super cheap, I think I paid $15-$25 for that bad boy brand new that guitar center in 1998 or so.
I'd love to see an episode or 5 on the PT2399. I've seen schematics using this chip for chorus, vibrato, reverb and delay pedals. it's a near universal chip for DIY time-based effects.
Loved your "my favorite mods for a fuzz face" video. Maybe you can show the effect of higher and lower gain transistors for Q1 and Q2. Can you show a mod that makes a fuzz face less sensitive to input impedance without adversely affecting the tone and cleanup with volume rollback on the guitar? I'm guessing that an input buffer with output impedance around a few k ohms would do the trick, but maybe you also need to add some series inductance as well.
Elliott’s Dad’s soul was not having it when Josh said we’re doomed regarding nearly destroying the pedal. Anyone else get the thought that the pedal was being used as a portal for Elliott’s Dad’s soul to check in on his son? Do capacitors store spiritual energy as well as electrical charge? Is it all just coincidence? Why would a $10K boutique guitar with the most reliable tuning machines not stay in tune? Why would the power crash at the moment Josh mentioned the pedal was at risk for becoming land-filler? How could Josh’s cautious and delicate handling of the PCB have detached the mounting pad of that problematic capacitor that stored a part of Elliott’s Dad’s Soul? Is this all a lead-up to the JHS Easter Contata Special and release of a new version of the Haunting Mids, and if so, why wouldn’t this be a better Halloween Production? More questions than ever; if only Pedal World News would apply their journalistic approach to shed some light on the Earth Shattering phenomena that surfaced during this 13th Short Circuit Episode…oh, Triskaidekaphobia anyone????
A couple months ago, I traded in my mint condition, still in box, still with Danelectro 9V plastic wrapped battery, and all box candy, along with my Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus, in same condition, as part of a gear swap at Guitar Center. I think they gave me something like $30 each for them. Sure wish you would gave posted this video before hand. Sheet.
i had loads of Danos in the past - still have a few the Daddy-O. bought one when my original Guvnor started going weird on me. since fixed it by swapping round some of the jacks on the back of the box my favorites are the 18V Cool Cat chorus. its so very good. and the smaller Cool Cat Series Vibe, which i did the mods on i have the Cool Cat series Metal pedal as well. not because its good, because it would not sell during my pedal purge planning to look at modding the Daddy-O next week as I have a week of gardening leave. just need to root through my box of bits to see what components i can upcycle and what i need to buy
Very cool. I have one. It's just sitting around I don't use it for anything so I may give this a go for fun. Then all it will need is a mod so you don't need the world's smallest fingers to operate the knobs and another so you can actually see where the knobs are set when standing 😄 Thanks Josh, as I said I will definitely take a look at this.
Very nice! Random but somewhat related question, why do old gold foil pickups seem to prefer analog pedals? I'm fixing an old Decca DMI 199 guitar (made by Teisco for Decca record stores I think!) and it likes for example the Not a klon, Dan echo, Memory Man, but not Flight delay or Mary-K fuzz... (makes nasty buzz / hum) It's a mystery of sorts! Thanks. Peace out! ☮
This was awesome, especially the inevitable issues that crop up. Question: have you ever modded a EHX Metal Muff Nano? Or, more specifically, done trouble-shooting to figure out why it passes audio in bypass but nothing when on? The noise gate led responds like audio is going INTO the circuit... but it just makes for a very pretty mute pedal right now. :D I figure the trouble-shooting steps shouldn't be too different from the "wait, why did my mod just kill the pedal" steps when you DON'T go a single component at a time! :D
If I (in the UK) can get that kit, then please do that kit! I've been waiting to start the Coppertone Fuzz Face for so long that I've now bought all of their other kits. So going to start LBP next week as it sounds like you're not going to get into Fuzz Face until 2025
My first pedal was a Danelectro BLACK LICORICE. Still works but the footswitch sometimes has a mind of its own and the tone sounds like someone stuffed a beehive an a coffee can. Would love to know if anything could be done to it that would make it musically usable.
Of course it will raise the price of used daddy I’d but probably not forever .. hopefully I don’t have a govnr but I want one I do have an angry Charlie AT Though that isn’t probably not very similar
Fuck yeah. I remember back when UA-cam videos were just cool shit like this instead of 30 minute commercials. Love you guys. Thank you for always keeping me inspired to make music. Color box for life
You are a very kind man to mod the Daddy O and return it to the sender as a remembrance of his Dad.
I am so glad to be a guitar player at the same time that people like Josh, Brian Wampler, Marty Schwartz and Mick and Dan are doing their thing! The absolute golden age of guitar at a time when popular music has completely abandoned the instrument.
I’m glad to be here now. But I’m glad I got a good 15 years of guitar in before youtube and instagram
yeah.....more of "us" are "all geared up " like never before,
but with nowhere to go except the memory hole of inter-nowhere (i.e. a literal technarchic 'utopia" = yup, we're in it right now).
No music has not abondoned the guitar
Unless you only listen to the radio ..
but since the internet the radio is kinda irrelevant
“Throw away your clipped leads”
“Waste a resistor making a jumper”
😂
Lol. I've gotten into diy pedals and I have a pile of clipped resistor legs which has com in handy in connecting components across a large distance.
This was the first pedal that I modified, and I loved the way it turned out. It was my gateway to me starting my business. Unfortunately I had it in storage and my unit got broken into and a bunch of my collectable pedals got stolen, including this one. This was definitely a walk down memory lane. Thank you Josh.

Thank you!
I love watch JHS videos during my breakfest. Thanks Josh, for taking up time that once belonged to Bugs Bunny.
Thank you JHS for increasing the value of my Daddy O pedal.
Thanks for leaving the in the trace fix and chaos. Very humble. Makes me feel more confident as a builder, knowing I have had similar issues.
This was thoroughly entertaining, thank you so much Josh! So many things were great about it. I love that you repaired the pedal and sent it back to Robby. I of course love this pedal (having bought it when it was still pretty much new) and I love learning about it.

I just started watching this Short Circuit series and knowing that he is continuing doing some more it's really exciting! 🙏🏻
....grabs a Strat, adds another "almost done" I don't feel bad for 3 questions, now. Thank you again, Josh. \m/
The change to the clipping was fantastic. Sounds monstrous.
there's nothing i love more than watching josh nerd tf out about pedals
I bought a brand new boxed Daddy O when they were first issued, but had to return it after a few days. I lived in East London and the Daddy O was constantly picking up Dutch radio transmissions.
My first pedal was a Danelectro fab echo I got in the early 2000s. I still have it and the original box.
he has the box
The Danelectro Fab Chorus is still my favorite chorus pedal I've ever owned. I've had about half a dozen others, and have eventually sold almost all of them. Cheap does not mean bad.
When you reached for C9... I couldn't help gasp! A fun episode.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Also, I like that you keep rolling when challenges arise. It help me see the troubleshooting techniques and the thought process behind prioritizing the order of things to check.
I bought a Daddy-O years ago, and immediately bought a Monte Alums mod kit for it. Still a fun pedal.
I have and love the PB&J delay and the Tuna Melt Tremolo. Fantastic pedals. I also have the milkshake chorus which is pretty good too, but the other two are special.
My favorite Dan-O pedal was the 18v Cool Cat chorus. I gigged on it and a Daddy-O for years.

Thanx for everything; the knowledge and the laughs!
The Daddio was my first guitar pedal. My first one got destroyed by a flood, but then a few years ago I found another one in a pawn shop for next to nothing.
My first pedal was the Tuna Melt. Bought it in 2000. Still my favourite term. Still on my board.
hilarious that C9 was the one you were gonna change.
I had a few big Dano pedals, including this one. They are tanks. I've never modded a pedal, but did build some things in the 80s when I didn't have much money. I must have sent off for some plans (something like Guitar Secrets?). I remember recording on my 4-track cassette using a distortion I made when things started to sound (and smell) funny.

This takes me back to being a kid, guitar shop guy selling me this telling me it will give me the grunge sound. Me getting it home and it sounding like bees in a tin can. Then the depression set in.
The day I discover this series and watch Episode 1 is the day you make a comeback!
If every day was a perfect day life would be boring and you wouldn't learn anything. The trace repair was great, been there done that. Nothing wrong with note cards. Thanks!!!
i did a Monty Allums mod on mine about 10 years back... capacitors, LEDs and diodes across the switch.... quite nice kit
1:09:28 for the bass that got skipped.
Thanks for the video, I've been meaning to mod my Daddy O.
Never done a mod before, other than add a led or switch irritatingly bright leds to reasonable ones, the opposite of what you did. :D
I'm so glad I caught this video. Thanks for all the real life live fixes.
Nice to know someone who's dedicated their entire life to guitar pedals . When you get bitten by the Pedal Bug it's endless .
Thanks for this! This was actually the first pedal I bought as a teen and was.. kinda disappointed. Found it in a box recently after like 25 years and really appreciate it, but cool to see it can be improved
Been waiting so long for this to return!
Well now I have something to do on a quiet winter evening.
Yep - I really can’t believe I’m watching and enjoying this! I guess that’s what happens when the pedal bug gets you. I have a danelectro chilli dog octaver with a broken / faulty switch. Feels like I should get the back off. Thanks Josh 👍
The daddy-0 and the pastrami I think were my favorite danelectro pedals. In fact the daddy-o is often still on my board
I can tell you've never done this before! 😂❤😂
awesome!!! so glad short circuit is back
Still use this as my only overdrive from mid 2000s, didn't realize it was a cool pedal now..
I like the Black coffee 😊
Hi Josh, great video on a great pedal. Like the changes you made. Question???? If you wouldn't of had the pad lifting issue with the "bass" capacitor, what value would you have recommended be installed? Thanks!
What is the circuit in the danelectro honeytone pocket amp? The drive from those things (to my ear) is really cool!
It's simple opamp gain stage followed by hard clipping diodes, a simple tone stack and then a gain recovery stage. I think the power amplifier chip also overdrives when the amp is cranked and adds to the cool sound
I really dont go in for schadenfreude but with the broken cap, possibly trace, chronically out of tune and power outage during episode 13?? I have to admit I had a couple giggles but I was laughing with ya, not at ya! Loved the show and cant wait for more thank you Josh!!
The Tuna Melt Tremolo is fantastic.

58:10 my usual pedal building experience
I’m 30 minutes into the video and Josh says people who are still watching this we’re all family haha. I also use notecards, we appreciate it
Blue LED and R17 high brightness is The Way. I had a Badgerplex (EP-3 style preamp pedal) and its blue LED would blind people in other dimensions
i had loads of Danos in the past - still have a few
the Daddy-O. bought one when my original Guvnor started going weird on me. since fixed it by swapping round some of the jacks on the back of the box
my favorites are the 18V Cool Cat chorus. its so very good. and the smaller Cool Cat Series Vibe, which i did the mods on
i have the Cool Cat series Metal pedal as well. not because its good, because it would not sell during my pedal purge
planning to look at modding the Daddy-O next week as I have a week of gardening leave. just need to root through my box of bits to see what components i can upcycle and what i need to buy
I have waited for you guys to talk about the French Toast
I love this channel!!
YES we are so backkk
Short Circuit!! Hell yeah!
I'd love to see an episode modding a metal zone with something like the Diezel mod.
That was my 1st peadal
Very cool. I have one. It's just sitting around I don't use it for anything so I may give this a go for fun. Then all it will need is a mod so you don't need the world's smallest fingers to operate the knobs and another so you can actually see where the knobs are set when standing 😄 Thanks Josh, as I said I will definitely take a look at this.
I didn't vote...but I was thinking "blue" the entire time.
I like danelectro gear….but u took it from daddy-oh, to yes daddy harder lol!
My old favourite overdrive, the Aria pro od-10 has been crapping out, two days ago I put this pedal back on my board.
it'd be cool to see the frequency response of the modded, and non-modded configurations.
1st ever distortion I tried was a fab tone dd1
How about a challenge? Mod a DOD Flashback Fuzz
Worst pedal I ever had, and not bad in a good way.
Welcome Back to the Bench.
Very nice! Random but somewhat related question, why do old gold foil pickups seem to prefer analog pedals? I'm fixing an old Decca DMI 199 guitar (made by Teisco for Decca record stores I think!) and it likes for example the Not a klon, Dan echo, Memory Man, but not Flight delay or Mary-K fuzz... (makes nasty buzz / hum) It's a mystery of sorts! Thanks. Peace out! ☮

C10. The devil's capacitor.
Just wondering what kind of soldering iron do you use and what is your heat setting? Thanks for showing us the mods.
Love it
Reel echo is the greatest
It would be very cool to see a DS1 mod video
Killer pedal. I’ve bought a bunch of them. Never paid more than $25
Cool cat. Still use it
I really like it. I think it sounds much better than the Daddy-O. But it's just not a Daddy-O anymore.
It’s the big daddy O ….!
I've literally just sold my Daddy O. Damn.
If I (in the UK) can get that kit, then please do that kit! I've been waiting to start the Coppertone Fuzz Face for so long that I've now bought all of their other kits. So going to start LBP next week as it sounds like you're not going to get into Fuzz Face until 2025
All the fan electro pedals are based on classic circuits ., if I had all of them I would use all of them for a low fi sound
My first pedal was a Danelectro BLACK LICORICE. Still works but the footswitch sometimes has a mind of its own and the tone sounds like someone stuffed a beehive an a coffee can. Would love to know if anything could be done to it that would make it musically usable.
Nerdville Pedal Underground
Too many screws but that's also why it's built like a tank
