I probably see a few emails a week asking for a price quote on rehousing a Danelectro mini. The plastic casing, tiny switch, PCB-mounted plastic jacks, and micro pots are all serious problems for anyone that needs reliable performance from their gear. The finished product can be seen above and will be able to withstand abuse from gigs and tours. Pricing for a rehousing on the Danelectro mini series starts around $70.
On a side note, the DJ-1 uses a TL072 IC which wasn’t expected in such an inexpensive pedal. It also uses LEDs for clipping diodes.
