Ben Weinman

“It’s a pretty funny name, but it doesn’t sound funny: there’s nothing funny about the Swollen Pickle! It’s basically like a really high, distorted fuzz. It says on it here that’s it’s ‘jumbo fuzz’. I use it on a song called Room Full Of Eyes where we just need to take it up a notch and make it really, really heavy… It just makes everything that you put through it gnarly.”

This page of TC Electronic's website lists the Polytune 2 Pedal Tuner as one of the pedals used by Ben Weinman.

On this page of TC Electronic's website, it states that Ben Weinman uses a Spark Booster pedal.

“It’s a little more complex than the typical Cry Baby from Dunlop. You can affect gain and the range of scoop and sound and tone diversity and dynamic – and I’ve also had it customised to have an automatic on and off, so as soon as I let go of the wah it turns off.

“I always had problems where I’d leave it on and walk away and my tone would be totally screwed up and I couldn’t work it out. Now I have this so that it automatically turns off [similar to the Morley Bad Horsie wah].”

“I have the tap set right now for a song called One Of Us Is The Killer, which is the title track off of our latest record, where I have a kind of ping-pong-y thing going on with a linear lead. I also use it for effects and noise quite a lot, as well. There’s one song called Crossburner that I use it on quite a bit.”

Among the TC Electronic products used by Ben Weinman is the Flashback Delay, according to this page of TC Electronic's website.

Ben Weinman uses a TC Electronic Flashback X4 Delay, according to this page of TC Electronic's website.

“It really cleans up your tone a lot without taking out too much sound from it. A typical gate works a little differently, but the Suppressor just cleans up the hum. When you have a really good, high-quality amplifier, I don’t think you really need a gate, but having something that helps take out some of the hum and the hiss of the electricity that’s going through the amp – especially when you’re travelling a lot to different countries with different electricity – helps a lot.”

“It’s amazing, because you can strum all of the strings and see simultaneously which ones are out. It shows you all of the strings in the spectrum, or you can use it just individually. A lot of tuners you can [only] use it one way or the other, but with this you can use both. It’s really small and the TC Electronic stuff is great… the firm’s really innovative with the way that it’s doing things.”

According to DigiTech's website, Ben uses the DigiTech JamMan.

"We used and and abused the ghoul screamer on the new album."
