It’s very effective and adds further use scenarios to this great sounding pedal. Danelectro have also included a useful Low Cut switch for pulling out those frequencies that could get muddy with Humbuckers or larger amps. There is more than enough gain on tap to push clean amps into breakup tones and, at settings below half way, the Volume control adds weight and depth to clean tones that make this an always on, set and forget kind of pedal. Starting with the Billion Dollar Boost you get a simple to operate, transparent if you want it, boost pedal that can also add treble and bass to your signal to tame or bolster different pickup and amp combinations. Considering the price of these pedals, the quality on offer is fantastic and a big step up from Danelectro’s previous offerings in this department.
A bright Billionaire ‘B’ logo lights up when the pedals are engaged with all four utilising True Bypass switching with no pops, clicks or additional noise in operation. All of the pedals feature top mounted jack sockets for even further space saving on your board and accompanying 9v DC inputs from a standard power supply or Danelectro’s Battery Billionaire alternative. Their footprint is tiny and the Die-Cast metal housings are beautifully designed and finished in classic car hues, with great feeling controls and non-latching footswitches. Upon opening the package, you are immediately struck by the size and build quality of these pedals.
For this review, Danelectro sent us the four pedals to play with, namely the Billion Dollar Boost, Pride of Texas, Big Spender Spinning Speaker and Filthy Rich Tremolo. The range consists of four pedals and a matching power supply.

Their new Billionaire series might reset this course, offering great tones and quality Diecast construction in a surprisingly affordable package that looks and sounds the business. Quirky and retro-cool? Certainly, but at the budget end of the market they would rarely find their way onto a high-end pedal board. So, have Danelectro put their money where their mouth is?
