Mateus Asato's Pedalboard | What's on Your Pedalboard?

[@sweetwater]

So much versatile character in Mateus’ pedalboard! How would you utilize the Asabi Overdrive in your own riffs? 🔥 Don’t forget to like and subscribe to get the latest videos in this series 💙

That, and the Bloom, and the one with the delay. Boom. Done. Until the next month, when I'd have replenished my stock of "Sweetwater, Take My Money" money. Then I'd have to get that overdrive pedal, too. And maybe one more.. 😅

[@TomsonTheOne]

What a great interviewer! He's well prepared and still lets Mateus do the talking. No interruptions, very perceptive... Greatly enjoyed this.

[@fenderosa]

I agree.

[@mr501mc]

He needs to do the premier guitar interviews no offense to Mr bowlinger, but bye!

[@musiktetangga]

Not only super expert, Mitch also the best interviewer in the business 🙌

[@mystdeisanto9647]

Mitch is always be a good interviewer.

[@john808welk]

We forgot a very important part of the signal chain, his shampoo brand! Killer player

[@mateusnovais_]

He uses the Johnson’s baby (no cap)

[@sengmitjrangmgarey7667]

He uses Wella's products (Elements, Volume boost) and ya Johnson baby shampoo too

[@randysutton2120]

No doubt...the man has great hair.

[@minumteros]

I believe its sunsilk

[@sbrz1439]

It's the shampoo Tio Nacho for grow hair, very sold in Brazil.

[@drewbarries]

Glad Mateus is back, he is just one of the most interesting new players around.

[@rcc3music]

Thought the same thing. Miss his IG videos.

[@okamuspanulirus9614]

Either hes the most mellow dude ive ever seen or hes high as a kite

[@bluematrix5001]

HE MUST BE HIGH BUT ALSO HAS TO BE SWEET

[@grosebud4554]

He’s definitely stoned.

[@suzanneemerson9787]

No.

[@PedroAsfora]

He’s really straight ahead, not a stoner at all. He’s just slow-paced 😂

[@liana.chawngthu]

I don't think he smokes

[@bmoklsc]

I love how Mitch explains some of the features of Mateus’ pedals. The biggest influence on your sound is your playing, not necessarily the gear. Also Mitch is a great interviewer-I love how he gives his guests space to talk.

[@MRxr400]

the best effect this guy has is his fingers. what a beautiful feel

[@Newbyrock23]

Mateus is such an incredible human. So humble, yet so talented. Also, love the Nigel Hendroff name drop, he's a beast! So pleased to see Mateus' career keep growing. He's spectacular.

[@piranhamusic1331]

Was in music school with him in 2013-14. He was super humble even back then. (and monstrous on the guitar too!)

[@michael_caz_nyc]

I could just listen to him noodle-around all day. What an incredible guitar player. Tone . . . for days. oNe LovE from NYC

[@philscanlan7321]

Have been aware of Mateus for years and years through social media and always captivated by his playing, but I've never heard him speak before. Such a chill, humble and gifted dude. Very refreshing. He's the kind of guitarist that makes me want to be a better player, not just absorb their licks into my playing style.

[@johnjinsol1]

Really great respects to the interviewer. Not only did he not interrupt, he also had things to add rather than contradicting Mat. Thank you for a great interview you deserve an award for being so patient.

[@thejakefromstatefarm6768]

Mateus is on top of the world! And he definitely should be and deserves to be. So happy for him! It’s always good to see a deserving person achieve greatness and for things to work out for them. He’s such a nice guy.

[@Bobby_Digital37]

Awesome and humble!!!! Great to see a relatively simple pedalboard too in the hands of a master 👍🏽

[@samuelveerhuis9144]

speechless..... its like everything he plays is surprising, monstrously inspiring and such a signature of his style

[@mr501mc]

Love this interviewer he let's Mateus have the floor. He's aiding the artist in his answers not talking for him or over him. The best interviewers are informed listeners!

[@justinguitarcia]

Mateus sounds sweet on an LP, it brings out this rockier/bluesy side of him

[@baldbearded9601]

Mateus not appearing online was another one of the big mishaps of 2020 for me! I'm so happy to see him with a guitar in his hands! Can't wait for his channels to go back live!

[@r4nlee]

Mateus playing so refreshing, Sweetwater need to bring his band for special showcase …

[@jackkovar7806]

Didn't know he had a band...

[@rosembergfer]

Mateus Asato é um orgulho para nós, músicos Brasileiros 💪🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Nao entendo pq vc sentiria orgulho de algo que vc nao fez...mas ok.

[@abelabel3664]

@@traduzindo_shorts Vc pode ficar feliz, sentir que Asato merece o sucesso, adorar a musica dele, etc, mas orgulho me parece estranho nesse caso.

[@fater8711]

@@abelabel3664 Eu acho que sua visão erra em duas coisas: do que advém orgulho e numa incompreensão do conceito de nacionalidade. Primeiro veja que orgulho não advém apenas do que você fez diretamente ou indiretamente, mas também, como o seu uso e etimologia apontam, de uma apreciação da ação de outros, normalmente demonstrado em casos onde há uma relação entre indivíduos, de forma que o feito do indíviduo de quem vem o orgulho engrandece de maneira ou outra o que se sente o orgulho; neste caso, é de uma facilidade enorme ver que o orgulho vem por conta da representação do Brasil na música, cujo conteúdo nacional perpassa o indivíduo e alcança além, à Pátria.

[@michaellucas1102]

My favorite guitar player on the planet

[@RafFail47]

I’ve been listening to a lot of Philip Sayce too! I love that Mateus mentioned him. More people need to hear his music.

[@Billywagner22]

Monster player and so humble.

[@banorilsk]

Mitch, you’re great. Thanks for this interview

[@sweetwater]

😎👍

[@eddiesilver8804]

His board is set up for his skill set. Which is super elite. So very basic/subtle effects, and never adds too much because his playing does all the work

[@graxjpg]

The effects themselves don’t give a good player the color change in the sound, a good player accentuates the color changes in their playing with subtle effects. This is what I’ve noticed

[@pablovillar686]

Mateus is way too chill. Hahaha I love him.

[@L.Scott_Music]

I remember seeing Mateus for the first time on Tim and Pete's Guitar Show. How far he's come since then. Got to interrupt him tuning up at the Suhr booth at NAMM '18 briefly. He was gracious and humble and super talented of course.

[@johnmud5085]

Mateus is incredible... love this dude. Just wondering if there is an interview with anyone higher than this one though. LOL!!!!! Love you Mateus!!

[@windowjamb]

Someone tell Mateus that there is an option for a favorite switch for the Flint.

[@jamwayofaiken-augustarockb7643]

Fabulous and higher than human talent. He's got more talent in his pinky knuckle than I have in all of my fingers combined

[@N-audio]

Love how much he doesn’t care about stuff, just rippin the fretboard and answer gently

thx so much to mateus and sweetwater, i remember seeing him on the tori kelly tour, simply phenomenal. he can also play melodic beautiful riffs on the acoustic too! so happy he’s making music again!!!

[@Joe.Lipari]

FINALLY HE RETURNS! It's been way too long since I've seen Mateus...

[@nortonscarton]

Feels like Matheus gave the Bossa Nova sound to the modern guitar , the smoothness … A new way to play the guitar 🎸

[@boabglen]

One of the best players on the planet imo. Such a nice fella too!

[@Matheussouzass]

ASATOOOOO Brasil poooo!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Its fun how his signal path is a train wreck but he is still such a fenomenal player it doesn't even matter lol Tone is on the hands indeed...

[@DANWRIGHTITIS]

Wow that was a relaxed session !! as Bonnie Raitt said at a show ¨Any more relaxed .. we´d still be on the plane!!!

[@nortonscarton]

🤣 I felt that 😂

[@larryrock11]

one of my favorite new players! seems a little extra chill on this!

[@kinguhtexas7721]

Great interviewers make Great interviews thank y’all 👍🏽

[@DaleClements]

What a sweet guitar player! He speaks so calmly!

[@-kentonwilson]

Amazing playing, sweet sound Mateus! Mateus mentioned that he wished he could save and recall presets on the Flint. The Flint allows you to use a Strymon Favorite Switch to save and recall presets via the expression input.

[@zerohourdrift]

He’s back!!!!! Was very sad when he took his hiatus from social media. I’m happy he did it for him but the dude is one of, if not the best players in the recent future. His little posts always sounded sick!

[@andrewkhoo6853]

How is it that this guy doesn’t make mistakes ?! It really doesn’t seem like much editing was required.

[@kevinmusso2397]

What a laidback cat! And he plays so beautifully. Mitch is always great too.

Lincoln is great. We play his old tunes a lot in church and I love interpreting his solos and multiple guitar parts being the one electric guitarist for my church. I don’t like the helix, even though I get why he uses one.

[@teeveee841]

We love this !! I would love to see him more !🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@onenotesolo256]

Flint preset: I just put my Flint back on a board after years, and was doing some online research regarding presets. I think the Strymon ‘Tap / Favourite mini switch’ allows you to have a preset on the Flint and it’s cousins from that period? You have to set the external switch’s internal dipswitch so it’s either a tap tempo or can store a fave. I never realised this in the past so may be wrong.

[@MrStropparo]

I’m gonna just start calling him Amateus Mozarto

[@JohnnyGuitaristOfficial]

Man, this is too cool.....love talking gear!!

[@ColinCampbell85]

Please let Mateus know you CAN set up a favorite/preset for the Flint!
