I have a dano distortion pedel, it's the Daddy-O (cream colored) and I'm very happy with it. But, I play mostly blues and I don't go for heavy distortion.

BTW the one I have is not one of the mini pedels that sell for about $25.00. I think I paid about $60.00 for mine 2 or 3 years ago.

I have the FabTone, it's the big maroon one. It is so much distortion it's almost intolerable. And you can't really turn the distortion down. I originally got it to play pretty heavy prog metal stuff with a Strat. Later I found it was useful for getting insane harmonics. However, as a main distortion pedal it has very little value.

I have heard that the French Toast (small red pedal) is based on the old Foxx fuzzes. I have a Foxx Fuzz/Wah/Volume, and that is the best, heaviest, most perfect fuzz sound ever. Again, the uses are limited, but it will crush the competition.

I tried out a Daddy-O, and it had a pretty good all-around overdrive type sound. Not heavy distortion, but probably the most usable one they make.

The mini pedals are a great deal; The T-Bone distortion is only like $20 and it sounds really good.

i just a/b tested the danelectro"french toast" with the supposedly bad-ass boss "digital metalizer".....

after messing around on the french toast for ten minutes i plugged in the boss, i turned that drive knob up to fifteen, and it still couldn't pull it off like that little dano... woohhoooo....

its a damn shame that the one i bought is a gift for someone else, cuz now i gotsa go out and gets me one!
