The Danelectro Chicken Salad vibe pedal is an inexpensive, yet decent sounding pedal. For very little money you can get the swirly goodness of a Univibe and jam on some Hendrix or Robin Trower.I did a video demoing the stock Chicken Salad which is not true bypass. Some would argue that a better tone could be achieved if only the pedal did not have those annoying buffers in the way.
I decided to rehouse a chicken salad eliminating the switching mechanism and adding a proper mechanical switch making the circuit true bypass. Below is the comparison of the stock buffered unit versus the rehouse true bypass unit.
Which is better? You tell me.. Enjoy.
