Matt Garrison Talks About His Effects Setup For Touring With Jack DeJohnette and Ravi Coltrane

Matthew Garrison is a legendary bassist who has played with everyone from John McLaughlin to Herbie Hancock. Here he talks to fellow Epifani Artist KJ (The Oddysy) about his touring effects setup.
When he's on the road with Jack DeJohnette and Ravi Coltrane, Matt runs his bass through Ableton Live. He controls the digital effects including reverb, distortion, a panner, and a looper via his Keith McMillen 12-step pedal board.
Matt and KJ are playing through the Epifani UL 901 bass amp and DIST2 dual-impedance bass speaker cabinets.

One of the most original bass virtuosos on the planet, a very creative musician, and a very intelligent person!

Woah. I thought I got weird at times, this guy is in another galaxy. I’m really glad I watched this. I not only got introduced to musicians that are new to me, but also to effect ideas, technical ideas, and musical ideas that are new to me. And Matt talks about it so matter-of-fact ! Ok, I’m impressed.

Pure genius. Matt's tune "Family" is one of the best tracks I've ever experienced. Thanks 🖖

That was the first cut I heard off Matt’s debut CD (lost the autographed copy because I loaned it out - ugh!). Not like anything I’d ever heard before, and I love the chords, melodies, and groove and the dissonance that his chords create!
