Danelectro is coming out with some really interesting pedals. The line of pedals is called Cool Cat Pedals.
The website for these pedals is CoolCatTone.com.
Danelectro have 9 new pedals out, and they are indeed interesting. What special about them? Well, for one thing - they are true bypass. This means there is less tone loss when you have a bunch of pedals connected together. True bypass is usually something you find in expensive boutique pedals, but now us cheapies can get true bypass pedals for peanuts!
Yes, they are inexpensive, around 50 bucks, but they come with boutique pedal features.
But wait there's more! They also have metal casing. That is good, because I like the sound of the small pedals they already have, but I never dug the plastic casing. Call me old school, but I want pedals with metal casing.
What else? Well the jacks are also metal! Plastic jacks are pretty useless - they will eventually, you can bet your fanny on it. So, these metal jacks are a great feature.
There are also some interesting type of pedals available. I am big fan of modulation effects, and I'm getting me some. The pedals available are the following 9:
Go and get yerself a few while quantities last. I bet these little buggers are gonna sell like hotcakes.
I already ordered the fuzz, vibe and tremolo pedals! Of course I will post video demos as soon as I get a chance.

Thank Joel, that sounds like a very interesting pedal. I definitely need a new delay pedal but I haven't decided what to get yet.
Comment added on January 26, 2008Adding to Todds comment on the MXR Dunlop new delay pedal. coming out in March 08. I have friends that work there and I played the proto type last weekend with a jam band. What a pedal!It was so clear didn't increase the treble like the Boss Delays. I think this pedal will define analog delay pedals and will be in many many rigs for the rest of time. Its that good. go play it and you will see. keep up the good work Robert.
thanks,
joel
Thanks GtrKnob, I ordered them from the local store, Musice Centre Canada. Not sure when they will show up.

Where did you order the coolcat pedals? I have not seen them forsale anywhere on the internet.
Great site by the way.
Thanks

I dig the sound of the Vibe and the Transparent OD - can't wait to check 'em out in stores. MXR/Dunlop also has a new delay - the Carbon Copy - it's a 600ms Analog Delay designed by/in-conjuntion-with Jorge Tripps of Way Huge fame - *REALLY* can't wait for this one!
Hope all is well, Robert.
