Danelectro Wasabi Rock-a-Bye AS-1 – Echo / Overdrive – Mint in Box – Discontinued

A rare opportunity to own a mint-condition, boxed example of the discontinued Danelectro Wasabi Rock-a-Bye AS-1.

This early-2000s pedal combines warm analog-style overdrive with vintage slapback echo, delivering classic rockabilly tones as well as experimental, textured sounds. Part of the cult-favourite Wasabi series, it has become increasingly hard to find—especially in this condition.

Tone & features

• Dual effect: Overdrive + Echo/Delay
• Vintage-style slapback echo tones
• Ranges from subtle warmth to more experimental, ambient textures
• Simple, intuitive control layout
• Distinctive retro Wasabi series design

🧠 Why this pedal is sought after

The Wasabi series was a short-lived and creative range from Danelectro, known for unusual effect combinations and bold design. The Rock-a-Bye AS-1 is now infrequently seen on the market, particularly in mint boxed condition, making it appealing to both players and collectors.

Condition

• Mint condition (fully working, no wear)
• Original box included
• Well preserved and complete
• Collector-grade example

Ideal for collectors of discontinued Danelectro pedals, vintage-style tone seekers, or anyone looking for a unique and characterful effects unit that stands out from modern pedals.

Discontinued and increasingly collectible. Hard to find in this condition.
