That Pedal Show Special - Matt Schofield: Tone, Technique, Amps… And Pedals!

Life too short for long KZread videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
In this episode, we’re honoured to get a visit from our good friend, Matt Schofield. Matt is an astonishingly good blues-based player from the UK who we’ve known for many years. These days he spends most of his time in the US, never ceasing to astound fans and audiences with his incredible touch, tone and sophisticated approach to blues guitar.
During this video we ask Matt about his approach to guitar tone, his technique and all that other fun stuff that goes hand-in-hand with it. Matt brought along his pedalboard, his SVL 61 guitar and of course his signature Two-Rock amplifier, leaving us somewhat stunned - there’s some killer playing, but also some really good general advice on tone and approach in this video.
Enjoy the episode!
FOR MORE ON MATT PLEASE VISIT www.mattschofield.com/
A NOTE ON NOISE AND HUM…
For this episode, Matt had his Two-Rock at proper gig levels. It is a phenomenal sonic and physical experience (which bizarrely never sounded painful or unpleasant) that’s all part and parcel of his tone.
As a result, there is more hum and extraneous noise than normal (Dan is currently building Matt a new board to help with that, but that’s another story).
The important thing to say is that we use NO hum reduction software or anything of the kind. What you’re hearing is the vocal mic (gained very high to pick up the voices, plus plenty of compression) get faded up and down as Matt speaks. It gives an accentuated impression of the hum, even though it was pretty loud in our little room. When the amp mics are on, we use NO hum reduction, it’s just that the mic on the cab is gained so much lower than our voice mic, so the hum doesn’t seem anywhere near as loud. Hope that makes sense.

    When Matt speaks about his short career as a session guitarist, his metaphor about not being able to repeat a musical conversation word for word, really (and forgive the pun) struck a chord with me. I always admire players who can repeat a performance with forensic precision but Matt's attitude really nailed something that I have been trying to put into words for years. Well done guys for another magic episode and my thanks and best wishes to Matt. We need more like him.

    That thing with the amp pots, Colin of CSGuitars did a video a while back explaining how he does the same thing to find a starting point when setting up the EQ on his amps. Makes massive sense once you see someone do it, as I think we all find that no pots ever have a steady change from 1-10, there are always spikes etc.

    Great episode guys. Like Dan, the first time I heard Matt's playing was an instant revelation. Some players just have that elusive "it" factor that's magical, and Matt's one of the few that has it in spades. One question: you mention the high volume throughout, but how exactly high was that master turned up? I recently bought a '67 Super Reverb, and when it hits 6 it's game time. Thanks for the great episode!

    Oh wow, I’d never heard of TPS until last month, or Matt Schofield until tonight... now both are/will be a big part of my life. Dan and Mick are simply wonderful hosts - some comments on here bizarrely accuse them of sycophancy, which is plain barking. They’re talking about what they love most with a guy who is simply inspirational in his ability to paint poetry with his guitar, but who’s clearly also humble, immensely personable and a wonderful conversationalist. So much to take from this, really. Best video on KZread for me. No question. Live. Die. Repeat.

    Thank you! This episode has helped me so much! 1. Since I added a master volume to my little 6W Amp and made the tone stack+boost controlable, I't always took some time to find the right settings (Bass, Middle, Treble, Depth and Tone knob all interacting with each other; also Gain, Master Volume and Power Amp valve voltage) - now I find the right settings way quicker. 2. I play piano/organ/keyboard way longer than guitar, but it never came to my mind to solo on the guitar like I do on those or vice versa - so much more possibilities and interesting tones, just by playing a pentatonic on the piano or outlining the e.g F7/Fsus2/Fsus4add6 change that's really easy on piano but I never thought of when playing guitar. Thanks for making me think about all that.

    I've seen Matt many many times as we live close to eachother.. All do respect to the show, but you have to see Matt live, the sound on this video doesn't translate accurately to the huge beautiful sound Matt has.. Trust me, go see a live show.. And, that tone isn't the gear, Matt sounds like that through anything.. When you achieve the level of playing Matt has reached the tone and touch is in the hands, not the amp, guitar or pedal.. Took me a lot of years and a lot of money on gear to realize that.. Amazing player.. Go check out a show...

I can tell you it would sound much less fantastic if he was playing an Ibanez Jem and a Peavey Rage. Not that they're bad, but that Matt doesn't get the full of extent of his voice with those things. So some of it is enabled by the gear. As you rightly point out, that gear may not work for all of us. Thanks for watching!

    I don't agree how sets his tone on his amps - just because pots have a 'sensitive' spot in their taper sweep, doesn't automatically make that a good spot to set your tone. That's just plain ridiculous. I'll have to make a video on how to set your tone on a passive tone stack.

  • @fletches4084

    @fletches4084

    7 жыл бұрын

    For something that's "plain ridiculous" its remarkably effective. Its not necessarily a function of the pot taper itself as much as it is how the amp behaves moving through the range. This is one of empirical things that just works. Try it blindfold. Ignore where the dial actually ends up. Follow the instruction and let your ears lead you. It may not take you to where you would normally set your amp but it will very quickly get you to a place which is a solid starting point. Its like a shortcut to a "happy medium" if you will.

  • @voxpathfinder15r

    @voxpathfinder15r

    7 жыл бұрын

    Trust me, it's ridiculous. I have studied the tonestacks on Vox amps and if you set the dials in a certain way it will get you into Marshall territory, but this method will not get you anywhere close to that. All it will do is get you into that area that the taper on the pots are making the largest sweep - you may like how your amp sounds set up like that, then again maybe not. No harm in trying it - but I wouldn't too much stock in this method as some magical way to come up with your amp's best tone. The treble and bass knob on passive tone stacks are interactive, change one and you affect the other - so right there that should tell you this method is nonsense, because you'd have to go back and forth and back and forth - because that 'happy' spot you made on the bass will have already drastically changed once you set the treble. A more correct method involves finding that relationship between the treble and bass knobs that gives your amp that mid-range character you are looking for {too much treble is accounted for by rolling back the tone knob on your guitar - or even the volume knob} Once found - you can roll up the mid range without affecting the EQ of either the bass or treble very much, keep it low for home use, roll it up for on-stage boosting and/or cutting through a 'mix' situation, or even further for soloing.

    Arguably dependent on the amp then. For example my Epiphone amps have switchable interactive/non-interactive tone. I'm also curious why you as a vox man would want your amps to stray into Marshall territory. Sacrilege surely? :) I would say that the method isn't necessarily aimed at getting the perfect tone. Its a quick way to get an unfamiliar amp into a state where you can build towards an ideal. Who knows? I tried it and liked the result. its another tool in the box.

  • @voxpathfinder15r

    @voxpathfinder15r

    7 жыл бұрын

    Why would I want a Vox to sound like a Marshall? Just to be inquisitive - that's all, it doesn't sound so much like a Marshall that you'd think it was an actual marshall - just a hint, but a tonestack isn't the only thing in your amp that is affecting tone - each gain stage with their coupling capacitors and resistors makes their own changes to tone - all the way through the power stage to the actual speaker and combo box it sits in. In the end, Vox, Marshall, etc all had their beginnings from the same amp - small changes from that original design yield very different results i.e. Vox vs. Marshall - large changes that stray too far from that original design yields horrible results. So it's fun for me sometimes to explore the DNA of my Vox amp and see that it's still closely related to that Fender Bassman DNA and Marshall JTM 45 as well - but with a tonestack that more resembles a blackface era amp. But getting back to this way of changing your tone - my philosophy on setting an amp's dials has more to do with finding it's midrange character that complements your set of strings, type of pickups and pickup height - and using this technique I don't think will work towards that end. Not to mention - sometimes if you want your amp to interact with the room acoustics, you have to change the dials - but yet this method would still have you come up with the same positions. So in effect, try this method for kicks - but there is no real logical reason why this should give you a magic tone.

    This is not logical. This is bumble bee flight. And yes I know bee flight is perfectly sound in aerodynamic terms and relies on vortex shedding but its the concept of illogicality we're interested in. There is a certain commonality to many amp designs which in turn springs from the relatively small number of fundamental tube designs. That perhaps is why this as a technique might be applicable to a wide variety of amps as a way to get a good working baseline. There is no suggestion that Matt's tip will give you a perfect tone every time but as several people have already attested it does seem to put you in the ballpark. In my own case its a 10 year old SoCal 50 sitting on a 20 year old Fender cabinet or an old BC30 fitted with 40 year old Celestions. Elsewhere someone said it worked with a Boss Katana. If he can get a good tone out of one of those with this trick then kudos to him. I've never managed to get any kind of tone out of one. Best just to take it on faith. Don't overthink it. This is music, not logic.
