All user reviews for the Danelectro DJ-14 Fish & Chips 7-Band EQ

7 bands set, case very light (not reassuring, but it holds). No true bypass.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, after a few tries you can easily find the suitable setting.

SOUND QUALITY

Once the settings are not made secret, it sounds. IUL no blast or parasites (unless you put all the settings back ... recess).
It can serve as booster.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months, no complaints yet. For 30 € I found the perfect pedal for my budget.
The only "negative" would finish the point, which is a little toy, but there taking care, there's no problem.
I would do the same choice without problem!

Metal casing, plastic switch not terrible. 7 faders properly calibrated, a fader for volume.

Not true bypass, but bypass transparent.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use.
Small flat for the switch is not great: not always easy to enable or disable, and then it inspires confidence not necessarily for the long-term strength. Better to avoid jump in with both feet ...

SOUND QUALITY

It makes the job very well without adding a lot of breath. (Except in extreme corrections, but that we can not do much)

OVERALL OPINION

For the price no complaints. Change the switch could be a interesting upgrade.

I personally use it in my effects loop, so basically it is always on, and I put it into service by activating or deactivating my loop, so no problems with the switch.

Pedal 7-band equalizer + Volume adjustment

Plastic pedal but very hard! Switch a bit special but it must do and it works fine after all

UTILIZATION

Using very simple, seven sliders to select the band spectrum of sound to correct.

Virtually no manual in the box because it's just a standard setting.
I use it to enhance the bass into an amp, and it works very very bien.On can be used as clean boost, volume + for solos etc. for example ...

Sound settings very easy, use your ears

SOUND QUALITY

Indeed very very good for its price! We can shape the sound with this pedal makes very good job! (A note just a little buzz when you walk up to the last cursor background, so the band acute 6.4K. Finally if you want me as much treble, treble booster buy two you will like this!)

It is a clone of the Boss GE-7. So the sound quality is perfect almost identical. Silent and usable in the studio!

I use it with a Strat and a Gretsch on an amp that has no EQ on the clean channel, so it's handy like that. In addition, a pedal like this one is even more accurate than 3 amp settings "Bass" "Middle", "Treble" ...

OVERALL OPINION

For € 35 you have a damn good equalizer, simple, very effective. In addition to this pedal is very small, so in a pedalboard is impeccable and she is more pretty / vintage! The Boss GE-7 is about € 90 on the net. At that price, you can have almost 3 Danelectro! The price is really justified, and this pedal is amazing! Not need the boss, unless you jump every time on your pedals to activate . I truly believe that we do not talk enough DANELECTRO doing awesome pedals (I have a REAL ECHO is just superb) and cheap and very good!
With the experience I think that choice again!

The Danelectro Fish and Chips pedal is a 7 band EQ pedal with an overall volume slider. The pedal has 7 sliders that can cut or boost that frequency by 15dB. The bands available are 100, 200, 400, 800 1.6k, 3.2k, and 6.4k. The pedal can be powered by 9 volt batter or external AC adapter. The pedal is very small when compared to a Boss sized pedal. A mono input and a mono output are available.

UTILIZATION

This pedal is another pedal from the Dano Food series. Like all the other pedals from this series, it is a pedal that is made of plastic. This worried me at first glance but after owning a few pedals from this series I haven’t thought about it since. It is a very reliable pedal and I’ve never heard of any one crushing the shell of the pedal or footswitches breaking. People have lost the tips off the sliders, but that’s no big deal and can be remedied with a little glue. For a plastic pedal these little guys can take a beating. It’s a very straightforward layout and the sliders seem sturdy and hold your settings well.

SOUND QUALITY

The Fish and Chips really lets you shape the tone of your gear. It lets you craft your sound to the exact frequencies you hear in your head. I love low powered tube amps, but once you get down to 10 to 15 watters, they really start cutting back on features. A lot of micro amps cut back on the EQ sections, and that’s where an EQ pedal really comes in handy to make these amps useful. It is also good in the loop of larger amps to help shape the overall tone. The pedal makes a great solo boost because you can not only adjust the overall volume of the solo using the volume slider, you can also boost the frequencies that really let your guitar cut through a dense mix and stand out like a solo should. This pedal does have a buffered output and there may be a little bit of high end loss, but it’s very slight. This pedal is no where near as noisy as the GE-7 from Boss. I much prefer the Danelectro version.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall this is a pretty good EQ pedal, and a great one at this price. It does do a great job of shaping your tone and allowing you to boost your volume or certain frequencies. The MXR offerings are very nice EQ pedals, and I use one now, but my Danelectro has lasted for years and I had no real complaints with it other than opting for something different. The Boss GE-7 that I had previously been using was bumped for the Fish and Chips because the Danelectro is a much quieter operating pedal, at least in my different rigs. For 30 US dollars, there isn’t much else in it’s marketplace, and it’s probably because a company would need to do a lot of research to figure out a way to make a better EQ pedal for the price. Great tweakability on the cheap.

7-band EQ for guitar.
A small plastic box construction strong enough.

UTILIZATION

It works as an EQ
The sliders are of good quality.

SOUND QUALITY

For having the boss ge-7, I find that its competitor Danelectro gives less breath, Part A, the operation is identical although the production is more in the Danish cheap.
It works well for bass also ...
Ideal for boosting solos, sculpting his sound or "crunch" amp lamps by pushing the volume on the pedals.

OVERALL OPINION

Nothing wrong, good EQ for guitar for half the price of the Boss GE-7.

7-band equalizer, more volume.
Small but dense.
Pretty nice but the buttons dcollent easily.
9V battery operation or mains.
I put nine to 30 new, it is very well.

UTILIZATION

It is used aisment is a qualizer, the principle is quite simple. We feel much diffrence by moving the buttons!
say anything the DeSUS. is common. I put 9 because I do not know how to. there is nothing for me to note the above.

SOUND QUALITY

The pedals can make sounds fairly original, 7 bands playing on frequency drives is trs complmentaire with an amp or just play it on bass, middle and trebble. The breath is visible but no more, has noted that lowering the minimum frquence most acute, it was no more breath and its always a trs acceptable!
I use it with either an electric or electro with a classic, and it's interesting.
I set September 9 as well, because I find a good qualiser ca refines the sound, it allows to make good rglages and for that price is not the reason to do without it!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 or 3 months, I am very satisfied. I have not much fault with it, I find that it is sometimes quite useful even if I do not use frquemment. Also for reasons of qualitprix report, I put 9. (Frankly, 30, one is happy with the machine!)

Note9:
Qual volume of pedals + booster (prampli)
1Between jack + 1 output jack, running on AC or battery

UTILIZATION

Note10:
Trs easy to use, just that branch the instrument "in" and "out" on a sound system, etc. pc. more than that play the frquences go: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1.6K, 3.2k, 6.4k
Just enough, volume (booster) and switch (natural sound / sound quality.

SOUND QUALITY

Note 9.5:
Extremely effective for use as prampli electro-acoustic guitar, bass, violin piezo equipped with simple, this qual Whereas the sound swells and offers a wide range of sound.
I used 9.5 because I deprecated the use of batteries 9voltes because oddly in acute Beuz it gives a little ... And the transformer 9volts! I noticed that the transformer at its best silent 9volts the batteries, but it still persists a lightweight Beuz ...
So my advice to plug into a 12volt transformer!
I use it for 3 years on scne (quite often) and none in Beuz 12volts. So I would try to 10.

OVERALL OPINION

Note10:
Report qualitprix amazing, I recommend it, you will not be due (with a 12 volt transformer).

Equalizer + boost overall volume. input and output + power supply sector. short, sobriety and simplicity to meet you. it is enough to trigger a switch (which emerges, it is true, a certain impression of fragility: personally, I do not have a problem because I leave the pedal switched on permanently) to activate the effect.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, simply adjust the sliders 7 bands (100 Hz to 6.4 kHz), with an action of + or - 15 db per band, with locking sliders in position 0. Moreover, these are strong enough, therefore no risk that the settings do not move during transportation or any friction. no manual, if not an example of setting possible. found quickly and easily the desired frequency response.

SOUND QUALITY

The effect is super efficient, it is not necessary to adjust the sliders to receive great a change, as a result, refining his independently according to each frequency is super accurate. While the pedal emits a slight hiss when the volume slider up generally, but can be remedied by leaving it in position 0. otherwise, nothing to say, this pedal really helps to sculpt the sound mégapropre.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently, but spent half an hour to tweak and adjust each frequency band, I fashioned her a nickel. is the first and only model I've tried EQ, I bought it secondhand on AudioFanzine after consulting the reviews on this type of pedal. the price / quality ratio is really interesting in view of the quality and indispensable part of the effect in a chain, especially when you have a budget (TES) limited. So, it is certainly possible to beat, but at what cost? in short, to have no regrets about this investment.

7-band Equalizer for Guitar
Input / Output Jack
Alim 9V jack
Case, sliders and switches in plastic, the case looks strong but it will pay attention to the switch.

UTILIZATION

Operation is very simple, just raise or lower the sliders frequencies that have to be corrected, adjust the output level and you get sounds very convincing!
The manual is spartan, there are examples of equalization.

SOUND QUALITY

First point: the pedal does not change the whole sound of the guitar when not activated.
On, the equalizer was very surprised!
Cursors react extremely well, they are very precise, allowing her to refine its precision.
I use it as a booster, with a small bump in the midrange and a little more level, it performs very well his office.
Used in the clear by increasing the treble and bass is also very effective.

FYI, I use it in this configuration: http://xkalikx.free.fr/Images/schema% 20copie.jpg

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months or so.
I bought it blindly trusting in me to believe that I found on the net, I was not disappointed.
It took me a while to really find a practical use for this pedal but now she will remain faithful to the booster station.
The price / quality ratio is very good, it will just be careful not to jump on it like a buffalo.

With experience, I would hesitate to buy a second OD Belcat, but my gut tells me that I did well to buy this pedal, an equalizer is used in many situations

See more advice.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple, one RULES as one feels, and sounds. However there is no manual, just one example of configuration of pedals.

SOUND QUALITY

I reu the pedals this morning and it sounds so good that I have jou 1 hour APRS branch that little pedals. The PDAL has done its rle EQ. However a small buzz when stands frquence appears most acute, but it's really not much.
The example given with the pedals is not too bad.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few hours at Thomann command 35, worth it.
The case is plastic but looks really solid and the buttons are really prcis.
I have not tried other EQ pedals before, but I do not see why pay 88 for a while EQ Boss Danelectro has nothing to envy the Boss. I would do srement this choice, and I advise any guitarist who does not want to ruin for EQ pedals.

This is a 7 band equalizer, which can also serve as boost.
Input and output jack and space for the power supply sector are present on the tip of the pedal.

UTILIZATION

It's very easy to use, has been increased or decreased corresponding to the sliders fréquences.C is very easy and very effective.
Against by the manual provides only one propostion, not great. They could have put more examples.

SOUND QUALITY

Since this is not really a fact, it is not easy to note.
I use it with my Gibson SG, a pedal and a digitech DF7 hybrid amp AC makes a difference to the final.
I use it personally with a provision in "V".

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two weeks that I use and I am very happy, just that the switch to plastic does not look very, very strong, to be careful to rangers = °)
Taken for that I paid I have no regrets, it has nothing to envy to other models such as BOSS, I hesitate not remake my choice.

Well, we know, equation 7-band format pedal jack on 6.35 in / out and barrel type power supply boss, 9v negative center. I do not know the ranges covered by each band exactly, but hey, it's not gear stage and studio.

Danelectro classic case is plastic, it looks like nothing, the name is great, the switch is scary, but usage has never been a problem. Eight faders rather stiff to hold in place on a pedalboard, with a small notch at 0. Yes, yes, eight! The last rege volume and can therefore serve as a clean boost. We will return.

I have two! One in front and one in the loop.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is obviously basic. The manual, I can not remember more than that. I think it was a piece of useless paper.

The small size of the pedal and the rear positioning of the connector is a considerable asset for the owners of pedalboard. Side of the coin, the switch must be aimed for large feet.

SOUND QUALITY

The equation is quite efficient, silent upstream or in the loop. With the same guitar, and without turning the knobs, you get under the foot can change his. This pedal seems very useful in groups, so that the guitar less pump frequencies of the bass or vocals while leaving most of the mix. It is essential for me when I use a looper, as overdubs does not work on it. It's really more than a gadget.

With a keyboard that's great also to counteract the coldness of certain sounds without resorting to distortion.

For the price it is excellent. Some find their happiness with parametric equations, more suitable in some situations, but personally I am very pleased that one.

In fact, since I had to come back and clean boost, I tend not to use it and stay up to 0. Signal degradation is not frightening (to some extent), but I have enough headroom also not to use it here.

OVERALL OPINION

I use two Fish & Chips in three years. Following a story I will not tell here, I got two for the price of one (well, I have said anything wrong ...), is 17.50 euros each. At this price, it is the dream!

Since I am very happy and I do not need equalization even more precise, I keep both for a while yet.

Danelectro is a company known for making cheap garbage guitars since the 50s. They also make cheap pedals and unlike their guitars their pedals are usable. The Fish & Chips EQ is a pretty basic EQ but it does everything it says it should. It is based on a Boss EQ pedal. It has 7 bands of adjustment with a boost level. This pedal shows that you dont have to pay 100+ dollars for just a little EQ pedal.

UTILIZATION

There is no free lunch. The low cost of this pedal comes at a price. The pedal is no where near sturdy feeling. If you step on it too hard it feels like it may break. The chassis is made out of plastic so that should tell you. This is not really a pedal you should be stomping on and off all night. This is a set it and forget it pedal or something you put in your rack. The sliders are nice and have an indentation in the middle so you can tell when you are 50/50.

SOUND QUALITY

The money they saved on the chassis went into the tone of this pedal. It sounds really good. It is a lot quieter than EQ models costing twice as much. With the boost feature you can use it as a clean boost or boost up a certain section of yoru sound. Dialing in some high mids can really make your sound cut through if you are in a thick mix or running a thick gain setting on your amp. Dialing in some lows can really add some meat to a strat or teles sound.

OVERALL OPINION

This pedal shows not everything in your pedal board has to be super boutique and rare. This pedal is like 20 bucks and gets the job done as good as any other 7 band EQ will and you can use it as a clean boost. If you are looking for a nice cheap EQ to fill out your pedal board with this is a good option.

7-band EQ and the right knob is the volume
Works with 9v battery or power supply as the Boss GE-7 since it is his clone.
manufacturing plastic that does not inspire much confidence

UTILIZATION

I used only to correct the distortion of my mesa, so it is in effect loop and remains permanently enabled, I active with a switcher and not pushing it (fairly important)

SOUND QUALITY

well it's great, she did what we asked, when everything is in the middle then a 0 (you can feel a notch when we pass a 0) the original sound is respected, no breath for my part, I 'comes readily to get the sound I want. impec brief.

OVERALL OPINION

Pedal that I like because it has an unbeatable value for money, bought new in 35 euros, why deprive yourself.
except as mentioned above I leave permanently enabled because its switch is really rotten, badly done, it feels not to walk if you activate the pedal or not.
For frequent use with the foot I do not recommend it but rather the boss GE7, if not for the rest I prefer it more it is pretty ^ ^
