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 💯

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.

this guy is a legend.

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.

I really like how he actually explained why he likes the evertune and not just say its the best you know?

Chris Kies kicks ass. He's not only a DEP fan, but he's a smart fan asking smart questions. Thanks Chris!

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!

Awesome band. Just recently got into them with the latest album. Really blown away.

I absolutely love his rig it's so simple yet has everything you could ever need

thanks for doing another metal group guys, you keep me up to date and i love it.

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

Every interview I've ever seen with Ben, he comes off as the coolest dude.

Man this rigrundown RULES!

Love that enclosed speaker. Love this guy doing it his way

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.

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

One of the best interviewees ever. Really cool guy. Completely relate to his explanation of why he plays in standart E.

Actually just Ben Weinman himself is such a thoughtful musician.

This is an awesome in depth video.

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 :)

Amazing interview man! Such good research and good questions and good dialogue

"Theres Something that makes it work with physics and nature". best description of an evertune in history

I've been thinking of putting a wireless inbody for a long time.. glad someone can actually do it

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.

I have the same fuzz pedal. It's a great pedal

Great Video Guys

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!

noise gates are good, but emgs also are very low noise I feel like that has an effect

Anyone have an idea of what brand /model name of wireless that is?

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 :)

I miss hearing new music from this band!! 😥 😔

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.

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!

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.

Where is the Liam Wilson Rig Rundown godammit?????!?????

He has such killer bass tone

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

Awesome guy!!

Great video

The wireless integrated in the guitar itself is genius.

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.

Anyone know what brand of strap he's using? Looks comfy as hell

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.

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.

Best ideas ever! This is what I want! How cool is that? The evertune is cool. I want, I want, I want!

Dillinger Escape Plan steppin on faces lol

Waluigi knows his 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.

Any idea what brand/model that wireless was?

This guy describes guitar and music a lot like me. which is fricken awesome!

which picks does he use? I didn't got it

That bridge is nuts

Dang, first time I've seen that bridge. Pretty cool.

Ben sounds so down to earth and awesome. Really cool rundown!

sold on his guitar... great ideas he put into it. gimme.

Right - simple, wise and well working, good idea...

I want all of that.

which wireless system is that?

I want them to do a rig rundown for opeth, thatd be cool.

frick i love this man

awesome player and interview! the new DEP album is fucking great!

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!!

diggin' that Bowie shirt

OSSUM!! MOAR!!

And also that it's Ben Weinman talking about Ben Weinman's rig and not his Fractal.

What are the strap locks he's using?

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.

what type of wireless system is it?

yes, what type is it???? anyone know?

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?

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.

OUCH that part at the very end!

PG should go to Warped Tour, and get some of the bands on there and see what gear they are using.
