FISH AND CHIPS EQ
The only member of the Danelectro “Food”
series making an appearance across the list,
the Danelectro Fish and Chips EQ has been
a very well-kept secret among more budgetoriented players. Of course, the humble
equalizer isn’t a very flashy pedalboard
component, but much like a power supply, it’s
a utilitarian necessity in one’s sonic arsenal.
There are some concerns with the enclosure
and switch, as both appear to be somewhat
flimsy, but this is an EQ pedal we’re talking
about here—the likely application is to be an
always-on device that needn’t be stepped
on for any reason. And because the Fish and
Chips is dead-quiet, it excels in that role.
Of course, like many graphic equalizers, it
can be used as an ultra-transparent clean
boost if need be. For all the concerns with
the construction, the switch holds up quite
well, and the pedal is so small, its enclosure
is sturdier than one might think. Plus, it’s
cheap—around $30.
