I actually have this same flanger and it sounds just fine to me. However, 
my issue is with their phaser. At first it had mistuned range with the 
sound completely cutting off at the end of the sweep. After manually 
adjusting the trimpot it now works. Sorta. Still sounds crap.

Conclusion: Danelectro probably have no quality control but not all their 
pedals are inherently crap. You might find good units.
