    Ben Weinman: The best Evertune spokesman that Evertune doesn't pay.

  • @NicholasGreenwood
    @NicholasGreenwood 11 років тому +101

    I appreciate the fact that it's Ben Weinman talking about Ben Weinman's guitar rig, not Ben Weinman's guitar tech talking about Ben Weinman's guitar rig.

    One of the best and most innovative sig guitar ideas I've seen in a long time. Nowadays sig guitars are just the standard models with some dudes name on it. This guy is doing it right.

    This is probably the best rig rundown so far. Ben is a great interview.

  • @SawyerSmoak

    I just received one of his signatures for my birthday. Probably that best value and the most versatile guitar I've ever played or owned.

  • @boneyardbastards
    @boneyardbastards 11 років тому +2

    I probably watched most of these rig rundowns and every time the artist does the rig rundown them selves, I have big respect. Just shows that they still love what they do and love to talk about guitars. Ben here seems like he'd like to go on for hours just for the love of it. Great stuff!

    • @jamesd7678
      @jamesd7678 7 років тому +8

      yeah they don't know how to play shit. the discordance is because they don't know how to play. it's not intentional or anything. they don't want to sound like that.

    • @cthulhu6697
      @cthulhu6697 7 років тому +6

      + James Dunham Actually they are pretty talented and the dissonance in their sound is very much intentional. They are from the same area of VA I'm from (Same area of South Eastern VA but different city nearby my hometown. We lived about 20 or 30 minutes drive from each other if you took 264 East). When I used to do concert sound for a living we did their sound quite a bit and I know these guys pretty well. Trust me, they are good on their instruments, I've sat in on a few of their early practice sessions. They seem to like to cram as many notes as they can into each measure. Their sound is a combination of that and just not giving a shit really.

    • @jamesd7678
      @jamesd7678 7 років тому +5

      Haha dude I was just being sarcastic. Trust me, I'm totally with you. I've seen Dillinger twice, and I hope to one day be half the guitartist Ben is.

    I think this is one of the better rig rundowns and interviews along with some unique product explanation

  • @deneseal5452
    @deneseal5452 10 років тому +3

    The bridge on his guitar is ingenious... a must-have for those of us that play
    aggressively! Ben's set-up is amazingly straightforward for the versatility he
    requires. His comments on the tonal space his guitar occupies should be a
    reminder to all of us that the guitar really is a midrange instrument. One question though... how does he deal with feedback issues playing a semi-hollowbody
    guitar with that much distortion? You rock Ben!

    • @guitarfreek1

  • @rstlesswarrior
    @rstlesswarrior 11 років тому

    To any common passive pickups there is so much that can happen: wax melting(when it's hot), wire tearing(when it's cold), metals oxidizing(when it's moist). These are physical problems which affect the tone or lead to failure. The active EMGs(or other enclosed active pickups) won't suffer any of these and additionally eliminate most electromagnetic interference as well as tone-loss through cable length. They are indeed a lot more reliable then almost all other passive pickups.

  • @ASingleFeatheR
    @ASingleFeatheR 10 років тому +4

    Ok, possibly the best thought out guitar ever, semi hollows sustain forever with the right gain and if you play at reasonable stage volume they do not feed back unless you take your hand off and let it or point the f hole right at your speaker. Awesome guitar! Love it.

  • @kenobibryant1637

  • @UberCoolBen
    @UberCoolBen 11 років тому +2

    If you're interested, here are some more "mid-range" songs by The Dillinger Escape Plan you might enjoy; Paranoia Shields, Widower, Nothing's Funny, Gold Teeth On a Bum, Parasitic Twins, Black Bubblegum, Unretrofied, Dead As History, Milk Lizard, Mouth of Ghosts, Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants etc. Personally, I think Greg Puciato does great harsh and clean vocals. He doesn't sound like any other "core" vocalist out there and his stage presence is second to none. Tell me how you get on!

  • @SAHOYT71013
    @SAHOYT71013 Рік тому

    I love how he talks about the mid-scoop zeitgeist of the 90's/00's while it seems like the time since this interview has seen a resurgence of midrange focus in metal.
    DEP weren't even ahead of their time, they just knew what peeps would come back around to sooner or later :)

    After seeing these guys play live, I have a new appreciation for everything in this video. Particularly his use of the Evertune Bridge - two of my friends were right up at the stage, they high-fived Greg and touched Ben's guitar a few times.

    @1Muzition1 11 років тому

    I wish more guitarists were so thorough. Many of the guitarists on these rundowns seem too cool or lazy to actually demonstrate their rig. Ben is a total guitar legend and one the few people out there trying to do something unique.

  • @taylor124567890
    @taylor124567890 11 років тому +2

    I agree, far better than when the sound guy just talks you through it. Those are interesting too, but like you said it's better when the actual star knows their gear.

    I ran into Greg a while ago and he mentioned that Ben had his wireless inside the guitar, I thought that was genius. Especially after seeing them live it makes sense, they are insane on stage. There is a video of Jeff when he was in the band jumping off stage and kicking me in the face... GREAT NIGHT! haha

    Mike Patton from Faith No More did an EP with The Dillinger Escape Plan over 10 years ago. If you want to hear a song of theirs influenced by FNM in general then give One Of Us Is the Killer a whirl. The music video is up on UA-cam. Don't worry about not understanding *most* of their music; screaming vocals, dissonant, crazy guitar sections and maniacal drums in ludicrous changing time signatures certainly aren't for everyone.

    @RastaSaiyaman 11 років тому +1

    Regarding the build in wireless, Prince already had that with his Honher Tele copy. He had that so he could arrive onstage on his motorbike and get off playing. Look up footage of the 1999 tour or the Purple Rain tour. Most notably in the live video for "Take me with U" where he runs to the back of the stage while riffing. At one time during the solo Prince flips his guitar over revealing the backplate where the wireless is located.

  • @dreaminginnoother
    @dreaminginnoother 10 років тому +9

    I have always dug minimalism. I enjoy stripping music down to as bare bones as possible. Sometimes you can go too far and lose a lot, sometimes you hear something in your head that you just know will add a lot, but typically, I thrive with limitations. Simplicity is typically the best approach for song writing. Never make the mistake of confusing bells and whistles for substance, and everything you add shrinks everything else a little bit to make room in the sonic soundscape. Without a strong basis, you end up decorating shit.
