A Fresh $5 Bag of Black Licorice

By Nyarlos on March 13, 2022 11:34 pm

Frequent Beater Ryan gifted me a pedal this week, but obviously with the caveat that I had to use it for a song, so the Danelectro Black Licorice got a thrashing. It is slightly broken, it only has a Bass EQ knob, that is broken off, and glued in place so as not to mess with the tone lol, it hums badly in one mode and awfully in the other, and the input jack is busted so any wiggles cut the signal. So that only leaves the volume and the mode switch that flicks between standard and an octave down. It also cost him a whole $5 AUD. Epic. But fuck me if it doesn't sound pretty good. Many thanks RyRy!!!!!! Cheesy song, great little pedal.

It's impressive to me how you squeeze great tones out of whatever pedals are in front of you. I'm sure your technical ability on guitar has nothing to do with that whatsoever /s. Great entry!

This little old pedal surely delivers. It has a lot of character! This intro riff in the high end against the main power chord riff is pretty cool. And we get even some good shredding!

Pretty tasty, even if it's falling apart.

I saw the title of the song and I was like, "gross!"

then I saw the picture and I was like, "......gross!"

LOL

I love that someone glued it down because they were like, "YO THIS IS THE PERFECT SPOT" smile

You did a great job with it though!

Even though Ryan is not with officially with us for Weekly Beats this year, he still managed to sneak his presence in, haha!


"I've got a present for you, it's a pedal... *gives pedal* ...and now you have to use it" tongue


I'm not a big fan of liquorice, but this is tasty enough to make an exception smile
