Unboxing the first of these pedals it is clear that a lot of thought has gone into the presentation. They’re sophisticated-looking units that certainly don’t appear ‘budget’. Each unit has a blindingly bright purple LED to show when it’s on, and smooth-turning plastic knobs in hues that match the ‘custom automobile colours’ on the chassis. This helps keep them compact and pedalboard-friendly, but they’re not the smallest pedals out there. In a now increasingly standard move, these pedals have no batteries and need juice from a power supply. Unlike the usual plastic cheap and cheerful Dano pedals of old, however, the Billionaire range offers true-bypass, die-cast construction, sleek lines and some useful features that may elevate them above the competition. Some of the company’s pedals (the long discontinued Back Talk reverse delay being a case in point) have become classics – commanding high prices on the second-hand market. Despite their budget price point, Danelectro pedals have often punched above their weight class when it comes to sheer musicality.
