Silvertone 1457 Guitar & Amp (5/5)

This is a 1449 - identical to the 1457 except for the pickguard and color.
I imagine if you turn off a hot amp and close the case, things could get rather warm inside
The 1449 gave way to the 1457 after just one year, and is pretty rare

This 1449 uses open-back tuners, like the 1448. The 1457 uses 'skate-key' tuners, which apparently were an upgrade. Danelectro used whatever they had on hand, and you find both kinds of tuners on all models, afaik.

KMise Vintage Phas Pedal

November 27, 2019

First, I am bound to state that I received this pedal at no cost for review. Having gotten that out of the way …

A phaser is a fairly simple device. It adds a swirling effect to the sound. Most 'classic' phasers have just a single control for the speed or rate of the effect. The only other control on this pedal is a mechanical true-bypass switch. This effect cannot take a battery, you will need a 9v power supply, I recommend a 1Spot. Batteries today are expensive and very poorly made anyway.
