THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THE GEAR. THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THE NUMBERS THIS VIDEO IS GOING TO DO. REBEL AGAINST THE GEAR TUBERS! THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU
an incredibly boring way of talking about such interesting things, apparently this is part of the style
You are hands down my favorite guitar pedal / demo guy on youtube, in large part because of your great intro songs. Bought the Benson Boost because of this video, you rock man!
Oh! Regarding compression: The Bogner Harlow is a great / simple compressor. I saw it on one of Tosin Abasi’s old rig rundowns and it’s fantastic. Kind of a preamp / saturation mixed with a compressor. Kinda feels like an amp self compressing rather than a pedal. Cheers ????
That mpx preamp is doing too much. Vox are distorted from just speaking.
Stopping by to say I always really enjoy your videos. Even though an admitted majority of the gear you reference isn’t always something I’d have a use-case for, as I’m a bedroom player at best and currently abroad without any of my gear, your videos are incredibly informative and interesting. I appreciate the effort you go to with the intros, and your content has inspired a fair few purchases… namely, the Meet Maude and the Shallow Water… and likely the Roger That! eventually.
Saw some lame comments here and I hope you pay no mind. There’s nothing less rock and roll than gatekeeping other people’s enjoyment of music and effects.
Great video! ????????
And that Balaguer guitar is a dream ????????
I love Benson Germanium Boost ????
What is the baritone guitar used @ 13:23 ? ????
I was surprised that you chose the Big Sky over the Meris X
Tele is the best guitar and the Benson Ge Boost is the best pedal. Facts. ????????
Hey Mark. Enjoy your videos. Surprised me when you listed your favorite genres. My impression was that you were mostly into ambient ambient music. I guess I need to watch more. Cheers!!!
Love it bro
Please review the monarch!
I would love a video on the WA 2MPX preamp
Benson monarch. Believe the hype. My favorite amp. Always sounds good. I was lucky enough to nab one with a master volume (he won’t make it with it now). Perfect amp.
Please make that video about the patchbay! They always confuse me and I’d like to see how you’ve wired it up
Thanks for all you do!
I played a show this summer at a venue that had a benson monarch as a backline amp. holy shit, it was eye opening and I had a completely different sound experience than I had ever experienced. really great sound. I dont have the budget for one right now, but I did pick up a benson germanium preamp and it has become my always on pedal, tons of great sounds in that pedal.
I just got the benson germanium boost I have it set infront of oh JHS superbolt clone and it sounds incredible definitely lives up to the hype I can’t see it ever leaving my board
Just wanna thank you for an inspiring year. Being a pro on another instrument I just activated my love to guitar-playing this year. The vibe of your playing and the channel itself is the main reason to not just play the guitar through amp or DAW but diving in pedalboards… my favorites DECO II and Prismatic Walls❣️Thanks again????????????
Your shortest video I’ve ever seen
Hi Mark, thank you so much for yet another beautiful and insightful video. It's always very inspiring to see what gear inspires other musicians!
I have one request though: please make your new studio space review video! We all noticed that you are no longer in your small studio/laundry room=)
Clean guitar sounds digital. You using modeling?
