Danelectro
FISH AND CHIPS EQ
“Hey guys, what if we
made a bunch of pedals whose
names are foods one might order at a diner,” said only one
person ever. The Danelectro Fish and Chips EQ has been a
very well-kept secret among more budget-oriented players
since its inception and subsequent discontinuation. We know,
the humble equalizer isn’t a glitzy rig component, but much
like a power supply, it’s a necessity in one’s sonic arsenal. While
some players might balk at the construction and footswitch,
this is an EQ we’re talking about here. Players will likely set it
and forget it, and sometimes may even mount it underneath
a pedalboard. And because the Fish and Chips is dead-quiet,
it excels in that role, and like many graphic equalizers, it can
be used as an ultra-transparent clean boost if need be. The
construction isn’t actually so bad, because the surface area is
so small; it’s engineered to stand up to any t-rex stomps one
might impart onto it. Plus, it’s cheap—around $30.
