nice video i needed this

Niiiice setup & vision

Great.

It’s got some real stranger things vibe 😉

Very interesting and inspiring video. Thanks for sharing !!!!.

These guitars are really cool and great for modding. That pic guard is awsome dude . I put jay mascis signature pick ups in mine but they weren’t for me so just put fender 65 in and they’re pretty cool . But I really like those ones you just put in they sound great . It’s a lot of fun playing around with these guitars

i love your look

finally tried ambient/experimental for the first time and im really proud of what i made . Thank you for inspiring me

re watching your videos... i love them!

Always happy to find fellow Virginian artists 🙌

Thanks for the insightful rant. Every artist feels what you're putting a voice to... the idea that merging the process of creation with commodity in the marketplace, necessarily kills the work of art, or at least the process itself. Gary V's approach works for some.. but artists play a different role. We're meant to interface between the unknown spiritual world, and the world of the material.. always on the edge, contending with something real and vital and alive.. and that doesn't fit on a content creation schedule.. nor can all of it be documented without anchoring us in the purely material. When an artist is anchored to the material rather than having one foot in the spiritual realm.. then what was meant to be art is instead propaganda. This is exactly why I enjoyed this video. Because it didn't fit. Instead of fitting, you grappled with the spiritual world, out loud. And therefore you created art rather than propaganda. Whether you share this process in music or in a monologue - this is what art is for. How does one monetize that? Here's my best guess: you don't. Instead you find (or gather) a group of like minded people. A small group. And you share outloud with them, and you listen to them in equal measure. And you change one another. This is the microcosm of real creative work. We can create it on the micro level if we seek to find and serve those on the same journey. Sometimes that microcosm gets magnified by the market. Sometimes it doesn't. The point is to be truly engaged in the work alongside others trying to dig into the same spiritual doorway you are, or trying to contend with the same mysteries. This is where lives are changed. Thanks for the insight into your world.

1:16 I live in Ga, and I don't even hear that sound anymore of you didn't point it out🙃

You should try the JHS Emperor V2 for chorus sounds.

It is definitely not overkill. Having lots of tone options keep shit interesting

Masterclass

Man excellent video.

Hey, are those Grooveboxes similar to MIDI keyboards? What are the differences?

back in my day we only had tape loops and we liked it. -Grumpy old man

Just found ur channel bruh, im bout to dive into all ur vids lol. Im an amateur beat maker

Truth be told the black bobbin pick ups sounds exactly like the pure vintage 65s they replaced Except they’re noisier and feedback easily I don’t think I’ll be buying lollar pick ups in the future

Great video, thanks for this! I've been debating picking up the BB makeover kit and your video has helped me get a better feel for how BB pickups sound. On another note, where did you get your cool pickguard?

The cicadas doing drone sounds in the background.

That was absolutely gorgeous!

Great video! In regards to buying gear: Beautiful people: looks aren‘t important. Rich people: money isn’t important People with a 10k rig: gear isn’t important 😅

This video gives me Tay Zonday vibes

Sounds great

Found a little hat on a park bench. Wore it all day. People thought I was jewish at a time when its very faux pas to be jewish but yolo. Big love. My head is itchy.

Love your setup, Benji! I'm glad The Algorithm pointed me your way! You mentioned wanting more VCAs - If that's still a concern for you after 2-1/2 years and 2200 more subs (congrats!), there's a company called Tidbit Audio that makes in-line VCAs and other small utilities that you can plug directly into sockets. I have a small setup going with a RackBrute boat, and I've found them to be a real space saver. However, if listening to your set is any indication, your creativity doesn't suffer at all for want of VCAs. Beautiful work!

Great Video Benji!! thank you so much! I´m a bass player, getting into ambient music... your videos are incredibly inspiring. This is my first solo project, and I´m facing a lot really nice "problems", like mentioned in the video: looking fot textures to reproduce, sounds. Experimenting with friend´s gear, or re-discovering new ways to use old stuff... It´s beeing an incredible journey.

Hi Benji. I stumbled onto this video while looking for examples of ambient/drone done using Eurorack, as I'm thinking of dipping my toe into modular waters. This video is was really inspirational, the links to gear are really helpful, thank you. Subscribed as well.

Sounds great! Did you swap the pots afterwards?

One of the best guides to make ambient music - thanks a lot for sharing your ideas!

The Lollars sound better. More “full” sound.

Amazing video my man appreciate you and the detail you went into alot of terminology i wasnt hipped to really started making more sense peace to you bro

I'm in the process of planning an offset build with a local luthier and I was set on a humbucker in bridge and P90 in the neck until I played another offset he had built. It also had the Lollar Black Bobbins, and now I'm very torn.

Super cool.. can you share the ambient recordings you use for background by any chance?

Thanks f sharing😂❤❤❤

Very inspiring. I have an OP1 collecting dust. It’s so sad, but the thing is intimidating.

Whoa - what the frack. That sounds amazing and first time out of hte box - Inever thought of using the circuit in that way. I just got my tracks late in the game but this completely adds a whole new dimension I never knew was available with this little device. It sounds so ambient and glitchy. Do have videos explaining how your thoughts lead to using devices like this? That was amazing - I have been watching synth/modular device videos for many years - and this just blew me away. First time using the device? DId you end up sticking with it ... wow - so jealous - I have to really work harder. Thanks for sharing - I have a lot to learn.

Amazing session, thanks!

Dude. Great video. That riff at 15.10 is lovely got a modest mouse / smiths thing going on I really wanna hear that song. Love the trem work on it too. Not an overkill setup at all. Perfectly acceptable! I like that tone bender fuzz. Have been looking at it for a while.

Really enjoyed your video. Would love to see more guitar content!

Your name is not Ben G. It says right there, it’s Wilson . 😂😅

The j. Mascis is a killer guitar but the pickups are terrible. Replace them and I’m sure it’ll stick around.

If that setup is overkill then you don’t want to see mine 🫣

Hi Ben. I found that the j mascis JM really fits me like a glove. I'm using it primarily in the worship band at church. Thanks for the vid!

Hey man I dig your studio set up and that tone was hella juicy 👌🏽I played a HRD in my indie band in college but I switched to an AC15 and I feel like it can pretty much l do anything youd need it to

Never came across your channel before today and just assumed you're a guitar channel. It's cool you ain't because I'm not. Like I started out making jams on grooveboxes and samplers and then went into guitar stuff and then mixed guitar with electronic music and now I make random pedals and samplers and stuff. At least you have a general idea of what your channel is lmao

Hell yea Benji, rig is sounding sick af. Love the wobbly setting at like 11:20
