Richer, more complex harmonic content in some cases.

Also, different fuzz circuits have radically different characters.

And don't forget that it never hurts to buy domestic. : )

Because Danelectro steals their pedal designs.

Lately I've been digging the Fuzzhugger AB Synth. I like it because it's got a huge amount of usable gain on tap and is really fun to mess with the "Synth" side of the pedal. It's not a traditional fuzz but it IS really cool!

That said, if you like the Dano, stick with it! I was really amazed at how good the "Chicken Salad" sounded for a vibe pedal. I'd say instead of getting another fuzz, get a treble booster to put in front of it, though I don't know how it would sound with that particular fuzz.

It's cheaper to shop at Walmart, but you won't catch me there.

You know, there is a whole lot of our country that can't afford to shop anywhere else. I'm not at all thrilled about how many independent stores Wal-Mart has put out of business, the same goes for Home Depot, and Guitar Center, but like it or not, that is where we are today. The fact is a lot of us can't afford to shop elsewhere, and that's also why we buy Danelectro Pedals and Mexican Strats. Not all of us can afford Klons, Z-Vex and the like. Let the OP enjoy his cheap Fuzz.

We're talking about a fuzz pedal here. Not much new under the sun in that department.
