Its Not Always A Happy Ending
One of my favorite adverts was one by Honda which said at Honda they don't use the word "OK" and instead they use the phrase "What If". I LOVED that advert and found it so inspiring. This is the premise of every guitar setup we undertake. If that means rejecting guitars and starting again - that is exactly what we do.
No Time To Watch the Videos? Here Is the Summary...
If you have bought a guitar before you will know all too well that not every guitar feels or plays the same. You may also know that due to the nature of the major component of the guitar (wood) that they can feel great one moment and awful the next (say for example after traveling half way around the globe on a boat - from some factory in the far east to the UK!) Richards Guitars offers a unique service offering the more discerning/knowledgeable buyer a host of "players benefits" which will ensure that ANY guitar purchased will give you years of enjoyment - regardless of the price paid. I can demonstrate that a guitar purchased from Richards Guitars will... Sound Better Feel Better Play Better Stay In Tune - Longer Look Better Want more reasons to buy from Richards Guitars?

They have become iconic in their own right, as arguably the best and most versatile overdrive pedals of their time and are highly sought after. There are very few original Mostortion™ pedals available now, most are being carefully nurtured on the pedalboards of some of the finest session players around the world including Nashville and LA, for a very good reason.
But now it’s back, in all its glory as the Danelectro Roebuck, delivering in true grit and grind fashion, all of that tasty original amp-like overdrive and tone.
The Roebuck is housed in a more robust metal chassis, looking the part in its wear and tear format, with subtle dings on the case, scuffed paint, sturdy control knobs and robust, soft-action footswitch.
In keeping with the original Mostortion™, the Roebuck’s mosfet circuitry features the same excellent bandwidth and touch-sensitive 3-band Bass, Mid and Treble EQ, offering extreme tonal versatility, full range response and superb dynamics.
While the unmistakable vintage core-tone voice remains, the new Roebuck now offers greater sonic flexibility with 2 additional clipping modes via a top-loaded mini-toggle switch, delivering the perfect amount of compression and mosfet overdrive without sacrificing the feel of the original pedal. All throughout, it has outstanding clarity and excellent string separation, whilst highlighting the extreme versatility of this long-awaited reissue distortion pedal.
With the ‘Distortion’ control set low, the Roebuck can excite the front end of any guitar amp, superb for subtle crunch style chords and lead breaks. Raising the ‘Distortion’ ‘Level’ and ‘Mid’ controls produces upper harmonics and increased drive for classic blues and screaming tube-like overdrive.
Scooped metal?...that’s certainly not a problem, by backing off the mids and upping the Distortion, the Roebuck will bring a smile to the hardened metal player.
Danelectro brings back this awesome pedal, nailing the original mosfet tone and distortion spot on, and with 2 new clipping options and robust build, the Roebuck is everything its predecessor was….and more!
