Sounds range in flavor from shrill saturation to low vowel-like squawks. It's like playing through a notched filter or a cocked Wah-Wah pedal. This is not a pedal for creating pristine tones but a pedal to make mere mortals wince in pain and fans of obscure garage music weep. This one takes wins the favor of the Guitar Geek Staff and then some. This is the only one knobber of the bunch but boy can that one little chrome knob can go a long way.
Lighter setting are squishy and downright sexy while harsher settings get very sick and swirly.
The effect's rate sweep takes an slight nose dive during its' cycle making for fun and wobbly ride. Well, it seems that the sound sculptors over at Danelectro have chosen some parameters very wisely here as this flanger is as versatile as they come. Milkshake Chorus - I think Danelectro should go back to the drawing board on this one. The basic chorus sounds have an ultra-thin metallic ping to them which basically renders the Milkshake fairly useless for unless you are playing in a early 80s New Wave cover band. This Mini did provide some comical detuned warblings at more extreme settings that might provide some textured madness for short noise bits or a bizzare passages but beyond that, I'd look elsewhere for your lo-budget chorus needs.
