Ben Weinman: The best Evertune spokesman that Evertune doesn't pay.
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.
YEP. Most metal musicians are like this.
My 67 year old dad is a huge guitar player and was fascinated by this rig rundown - it’s nice when you can bond with your dad about TDEP stuff 💯
Glad you cherished that.
Holy shit wireless built into the guitar is genius...
Hunter, AFI's bassist also does that
This interviewer knows his shit. Seems like he does a decent amount of listening and research before he interviews. Wish there was more of this
If only he could pronounce "escape" properly.
He's easily one of the best on here. Seems like a real fan when talking to a lot of these guys.
The built-in wireless is a freaking amazing idea.
That was Ben, man is a genius.
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.
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.
I really like how he actually explained why he likes the evertune and not just say its the best you know?
this guy is a legend.
too bad his band is discorded and sounds like shit
LOL
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.
+ 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.
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.
Chris Kies kicks ass. He's not only a DEP fan, but he's a smart fan asking smart questions. Thanks Chris!
Awesome band. Just recently got into them with the latest album. Really blown away.
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!
thanks for doing another metal group guys, you keep me up to date and i love it.
I absolutely love his rig it's so simple yet has everything you could ever need
I think this is one of the better rig rundowns and interviews along with some unique product explanation
coolest interview i have watched in years
Really like this interviewer
Man this rigrundown RULES!
i love guitars and muscly men who play the geetar, that gets my hole moiiiiiiist
Jesus, dude.
lol seriously though
What if you just kept that for yourself...
Every interview I've ever seen with Ben, he comes off as the coolest dude.
This is an awesome in depth video.
Love that enclosed speaker. Love this guy doing it his way
This was great. Amazing guitar.
Great interview.
Amazing interview man! Such good research and good questions and good dialogue
Much appreciated!
Great run down!
One of the best interviewees ever. Really cool guy.
Completely relate to his explanation of why he plays in standart E.
Very awesome Rig Rundown! I know a lot of people are pressed for time with sound checks and whatnot, but it would be nice if more people would be this in-depth and personal about their rigs.
Actually just Ben Weinman himself is such a thoughtful musician.
That guitar is amazing!
what he made with that guitar is BRILLIANT !!!!
I've been thinking of putting a wireless inbody for a long time.. glad someone can actually do it
Cool rundown. Keep em coming :)
Great Video Guys
I think this guy had just started a new revolution in wireless technology for guitarists. Seriously, that's some fine ass engineering creativity! I'll be looking forward to it :)
I'd buy that guitar so quick.
Damn dude that guitar is golden..
Awesome guy!!
normally I just want to see what kind of pedals these guys are using, but damn everything here is awesome! this has been the most interesting Rig Rundown to me
Never listened to this band before but I do like how he very honest about how gear sounds etc. It doesn't happen as much these days.
Great video
I miss hearing new music from this band!! 😥 😔
"Theres Something that makes it work with physics and nature". best description of an evertune in history
Where is the Liam Wilson Rig Rundown godammit?????!?????
He has such killer bass tone
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!
He has a Boss Noise Suppressor
guitarfreek1 I have this pedal as well and it is amazing at keeping feedback at bay... I sometimes see what it's like w/o it and immediately turn it back on.
Thanks for the info guitarfreek1!
noise gates are good, but emgs also are very low noise I feel like that has an effect
I have the same fuzz pedal. It's a great pedal
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!
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.
Ben sounds so down to earth and awesome. Really cool rundown!
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 :)
This guy's awesome.
This is just about my favorite music-related youtube series. It's what all those guitar magazines were always missing...the stuff guitar geeks and music nuts really want to know. That said, there's no "x" in Escape.
Finally the man gets a signature!
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.
the post EQ is controlled by a foot pedal. he mentions earlier in the video that he uses it to go from a "mid-range rock sound" to a scooped metal sound.
Right - simple, wise and well working, good idea...
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
yeah, I agree, well explained!
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.
Best ideas ever! This is what I want! How cool is that? The evertune is cool. I want, I want, I want!
Dang, first time I've seen that bridge. Pretty cool.
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.
The wireless integrated in the guitar itself is genius.
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.
Premier guitar!! You should do a rig rundown with nine inch nails when they your this year!! Would be awesome to see robin fink & trents stage set up!!
This guy describes guitar and music a lot like me. which is fricken awesome!
sold on his guitar... great ideas he put into it. gimme.
I want all of that.
OSSUM!! MOAR!!
Deafheaven rig rundown?
Literally the opposite of this one, but yes that's a good one to do for sure.
frick i love this man
That bridge is nuts
awesome player and interview! the new DEP album is fucking great!
I like this guy
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.
And also that it's Ben Weinman talking about Ben Weinman's rig and not his Fractal.
Waluigi knows his gear
he knows his shit. and he used to grind.
grind?
guitarfreek1 Either the genre or skateboarding :P
OUCH that part at the very end!
Anyone know what brand of strap he's using? Looks comfy as hell
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.
PG should go to Warped Tour, and get some of the bands on there and see what gear they are using.
His 12th fret says party crasher. Legend.
Jake Haslam party smasher*
TheDrumEquation for someone who's read Rant I'm surprised I got that wrong haha
haha happens to the best of us
1st reply in 5 years
@@drperkyreal4686 ok
the mans speaking from experience. have you played as many shows, travelled the world, had your guitar on countless different stages under many different conditions?
"I've been going for simplicity these days" I had no clue simplicity was in Ben Weinman's vocabulary...
It's in his vocab. Just not his hands.
diggin' that Bowie shirt
Anyone have an idea of what brand /model name of wireless that is?
holy shit that evertune is sick
fwkin awesome piece of video! Wein~ knows his shit and the guitar is pure top, he just sold a piece ...
totally want his signature now haha
The graphic EQ is foot switchable for his scooped metal sound. 10:08
I would love to see/hear a RR on Zakk and Rex with Pantera. I may be alone on that island.
I want them to do a rig rundown for opeth, thatd be cool.
I agree
Is the CAE wah available ONLY as a custom order? I know the custom in the nam is in the name of the company, but is there a commercially available CAE Wah?
There is a Dunlop/CAE wah commercially available. The one Ben is using is the Dimebag Darrell signature wah. Different model.
Party smasher inlay, amazing.
Any idea what brand/model that wireless was?
I've been trying to load this video since 4:00 pm. its not 8:19 and still going. FML
