I have never tried the Fish n' chips pedal but I will say that anything else I have tried made by Danelectro was pure shit. Make sure you can return it just in case you hate it.

I've actually heard numerous praises for the Fish 'n Chips. Usually within a series of shit pedals there's one gem. IE, the Fish 'n Chips in the Danny Mini-pedal series, and the Bad Monkey in the digitech distortion series....

Going off track for a moment....

When I bought my Boss DS-1, I had to save for a while.
So I get it and the dude says, "You want batteries with that?"
I said, "It doesnt come with a power supply?"
He said, "Ha...nope"

So I used my Level 52 confusion spell and did the sad eyes and pouted lip thingy and said, "But I saved forever for this and don't know what I'm going to do now."

He looked around and went behind the counter and produced a Danelectro adapter and slid it in my hand....have used it forever too.

Well, the danelectro one has slightly less noise and is cheaper compared to the boss, but the boss one looks better (the daneletro mini's look realy ridicoulus IMO) and doesn't actualy break when you step on it.
If you want something that lasts more than 2 gigs, get the boss one.
But do whatever you want, as long as you get an EQ pedal. Nobody can live without at least one

I just want to get one and put it behind my amplifier ... so no one can see it ... The Crate head only takes up so much space on the Genz Benz cabinet, and you could easily use a small cord and run it through the effects loop, keeping it out of harm's way. And the eyes of discriminating listeners.

The only pedal I have is Distortion.
And when I get a quality amp it will be no longer needed.

I want to get one because I want the sound of my amp cranked to 50-60 % power at 90-100% volume ... or at least can you do that using an EQ as a boost?

i pay rent....

but even still... a ds-1 is like what $40 these days? an a power adaptor... like $10?
nothing wrong with being a cheap ass and getting the powersupply for free... i'm a tightwad myself.

but if he has to save forever to get a $40 distortion pedal... a decent amp is going to cost ALOT more than $40.

You could do that but it will be hissy as hell without a ISP Decimator. You can only boost so much before it becomes just noise. A BBE sonic maximizer will help to boost output volumes better then a GE-7.

Exact same. The EQ on my BV is beautifully responsive. However, when i play on my Marshall, i need an EQ pedal. I've determined the EQ knobs on that amp dont really do anything, they're just for looks.

You are blind? So you use those braille 'monitors' to post? Or are your parrents?

Well, i'm almost 21 and still live at home. Free room, free food and free internet pretty much rocks my socks. I'm planning to move out a.s.a.p, but it'll probbably take another 9-12 months before I can get a decent room in Utrecht.

Hrm ... because all things considered I really don't need an EQ, to use as strictly an EQ ... my amp can give me too much of any frequency as it is, should I want it ...

I'll look into one of those.

i actually have the basement to myself.. it's kinda like a duplex.

i'm just living here while i'm going to college because it's cheap rent. that way i can afford classes and shit. because with $8.00 an hour at a call center. it'd be hard to handle an apartment,gas,insurance,cell phone bill, college classes, food, clothes,and most importantly.. GEAR.

i don't mind living here, my parents are chill, i can come home any hour of the night, come and go whenever i want. they don't care about having friends or girls over. loud music, ect... i'm blessed with cool parents that just come home from work and drink.

i kick them a couple hundred a month to let them know i appreciate it.

LEGALLY blind. Which means like half-blind.

Or in my case a misdiagnosis by doctors of complete blindness when I was just very extremely severely nearsighted + colorblind.

Somtimes shitty doctors work in your favor

Living with the parents is a good deal during college/formative years ... I'm about to get a job that pays 9.50$ hourly ... and I have no expenses
