To answer your question, I keep the Fish and Chips on all the time. I have it on a pedal board, so it is powered by the pedalboard. I use it after my Zoom GFX-1 multi-efx pedal to fine tune my tone. I do not always have the settings the same. What I like about EQ pedals is that you can bend down and quickly adjust your tone for various songs or situations. Once you get familiar with the pedal this is a very quick and easy thing to do. I already know what settings I will use on certain songs.

I do not use it as a solo boost, but I have experimented and this pedal will do this very well. The far right slider is a Volume. At 1/2 it is normal. Above half will boost your volume over your amp, below will cut your volume.

I also like the suggestion about using this pedal to limit your volume and then turning it off for a solo boost. That never occured to me. Sounds like a great idea. :D

I would get an AC adaptor. But it is easy to know when the battery is low on this pedal, your high frequencies will squeal. First time I heard it I thought the pedal was defective. But it was just a low battery. Many pedals will act funny on a low battery, so this is nothing unusual at all.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/paged/2/#post-181319 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-181089 Sat, 03 Jun 2006 00:08:28 +0000
When I used a rack mount preamp (one of those ADA tube pres), I simply programmed different settings that I called from a midi foot pedal. When I went to simpler system, I used a Boss OD3 overdrive pedal...gain min, volume max. I don't play out much any more, so not sure what I'd do now...]]> Guitar Players Discussion dsparling https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-181089 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-181079 Fri, 02 Jun 2006 23:45:53 +0000
1. Sound man boosts that channel during solos (He knows when you solo and your amp is mic'd - give that you have a soundman)

2. You have a 2 or 3-channel amp with one channel used only for solos that has independent volume control - turn this channel up (Mark IV, Bogner, Deizel, Fuchs etc...)

3. You have boost pedal that you use just for solos (numerous ones on the market)

Soultions 2 and 3 are the only way to solve your problem if you do not have a sound man.

I have owned a Mesa Mark IV combo since '92 - hearing my solo problem solved...]]> Guitar Players Discussion Lava Man https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-181079 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-181038 Fri, 02 Jun 2006 19:59:37 +0000
The "Fish & Chips" pedal sounds intriguing as well. Wes, do you use this for all of your songs and not just for boosting over the mix? If so, maybe I will try it out. I'm very happy with sound I have now...but maybe a little bit of enhancement would be nice. I used to have a POD and it just took away the tone of my amp so I don't want to screw with that.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Tommy Guns https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-181038 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-180971 Fri, 02 Jun 2006 15:46:56 +0000 EQ boost is excellent.
volume pedal makes it all good.]]> Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-180971 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-180943 Fri, 02 Jun 2006 13:16:42 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Total 13 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-180943 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-180827 Fri, 02 Jun 2006 02:07:55 +0000
Behringer has just come out with a new line of very inexpensive pedals including a 7 Band EQ. Just $19 I believe. I own a lot of B gear and it has always been good to me.

But first try eq'ing your OD1 channel to get the same tone as your clean channel (or the tone you want for your solo). Turn Gain way down on the OD1 channel, but turn Volume way up on the OD1 channel. You will be able to get a good clean lead tone.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-180827 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-180817 Fri, 02 Jun 2006 01:52:40 +0000 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Danelectro-DJ14-Fish-and-Chips-7Band-EQ-Pedal?sku=151873]]> Guitar Players Discussion duffmaster https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-180817 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-180805 Fri, 02 Jun 2006 01:31:24 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Tommy Guns https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/boosting-leads-over-the-mix/#post-180805
