Great for organ and keyboards, too!
Purchased this as a guitarist for guitar and it is a real Timmy, sounds amazing. However, at rehearsal there was a need for adding some non-digital overdrive to the keyboards for some grit. Lots of pedals around, all failed. Distortions are too much of a overkill, completely transform your sound and are a one trick pony of some drone sound that comes from a 10 dollar toy synthesizer. Guitar overdrives chop off the low end to cut out unwanted bad frequencies and to concentrate on the main body of the guitar sound. On keyboard, the sound gets thin and washed out. Bass overdrives focus too much on bass, once again overly coloring the sound in a bad way. And then we tried the transparent overdrive. Just what organ, roads players are looking for! Keeps the balance and most of the characteristics of the original tone, just gives that overdriven grit. Great! The CTO-1 also has separate low/high freq EQs to fine tune the sound, but you don't really need that, it is that good. Also the pedal is true bypass, no worries about messing with your signal when it is off.

Rarity: a REAL spring reverb
There are tons of digital reverb pedals out there. They offer a lot more variety than this product, but most of them fail to deliver a good spring reverb sound. Somehow the complexity of the spring reverb is just very hard to imitate, it colors the tone depending on what the input, attack is, constantly changing its sound. The Spring King just does one thing, but does it excellently. It has a real reverb tank in it plus a short slapback echo which is digital, but does not sound digital at all. The tank gives the complexity of a real reverb, as it is actually real. By the way a lot better than in many cheap amps, it is a real 3-spring unit. The echo adds that 1950's touch to the sound. It is subtle, but it is there. This unit is an affordable solution for people with amps lacking a reverb tank. Fraction of the price of the very few real tank-loaded outboard units and uses the usual center negative 9V, so no new power supply is needed. The tone out of this analogue and digital marriage is analogue and just pure joy. So beautiful, musical and real. Sounds as great as my big Fender amp with the same length 3-spring Accutronics built in. The controls are very usable and there is the kickpad for fun if you are the kind who likes kicking the amp for a thunderous bang. This is a well thought out genuine product from Danelectro for guitarists with an amp without a built in reverb be it an all tube wonder or a simple solid state practice combo at home.

A modern sound with warmth, a real Trace Eliot
2 of 2 found this helpful I compared The ELF directly to a friend's Trace Elliot smx gp12 (not in production for decades), the original thing. I am used to the smx's tone, loving it, listening to it every week for years. They do sound somewhat different, but only slightly. Both have that clear yet warm sound. Used the same Trace Elliot 4x10 and 1x18 tower, top of the line at the time, loaded with custom Celestion speakers made for Trace Elliot for these cabs specifically. The ELF has the warmth of the smx, and a very similar tone footprint. The smx has a bit more depth and detail to me, but only by a hair. You have to really look for the differences they are so minor. Still it is a full fledged big Trace Elliot sound with the ELF. I like the simplicity of this small amp. There are so many things that you could put in the ELF, (mute button, etc.) but nothing crucial. This is a good all rounder, having a very well designed EQ, only 3 knobs, but at the right frequencies. The success of this amp is somewhat surprising as most bass forums are based in the US with a natural bias to the local products they know, use and love. Any gear that comes out there is already having an understandable advantage over a former British company that most people never tried. So the ELF started somewhat against the wind. I think the reason for the success is that the ELF just does not sound like a D class amp, it just sounds like a traditional amp should, no digital coldness. An engaging tone easy to love. The ELF does not fit in your pocket unless you have one of those military pants with large side pockets at the thigh, but it really does fit into a gig bag easily. I live on the continent purchased the ELF from the UK (same EU 230V voltage, different plug) and was prepared to use a local cable or fit a new plug at the end of the cable, but came with both cables, what a pleasant surprise. Finally about how loud it is. Very. The ELF drove the 4x10 and 1x18 (4 Ohms together) to deafening sound pressure with ease, volume knob at 25% using a passive bass. Lots of power reserve, I cannot imagine these real 200 watts are not enough except stadium concerts. If you are not loud enough you need more speakers (surface pushing the air) and not more watts.
