Matt Bolton Live Looping with RC600 Soundboard stereo audio Gig with Boss

[@SophisticatedBob]

This is stupid good....nuts the amount of work he has had to put into perfecting not just the music, but the use of the various pedals. The amount of coordination is astounding. Kudos young man.

[@daningram3143]

How do people just walk by Matt? It’s really quite unbelievable.!! The guy is a master at his craft! I have played guitar for 50 years and I just started learning to loop a year ago. It’s not easy.! I’m 65 years old and if I saw him playing, I would stop throw some money in his hat and compliment him and enjoy him! He’s not an every day experience!!!

[@robertforster6749]

because they are deadheads. their lives dont reach outside their bubble.

[@Angelus.Things]

I was scrolling for 30 minutes looking for someone to actually use the RC600 for something beautiful and cool, I have to say my search is over. Man, you nailed this performance!

[@18nomah]

With my eyes closed it sounds like a six people band. Incredibly smooth use of RC600 and all that other pedal board. Plus a great voice!

[@johnnyk4551]

Always a great watch and listen. Love how great your mix always sounds. 👍

[@greendrinkguy1882]

THANK YOU !!!! Epic opener and all those ..... just walking in+out like nothings happening.. my god.

[@adamhyde19]

Of all the impressive aspects of this performance (e.g., totally effortless use of the looper, vocal performance with the pedal harmonies, exuding joy head to happy feet, song choice, managing the different guitar effects, etc) the most impressive to me was the use of the drum machine. Just ripping some mellow guitar lines and casually hitting fills as you dance past the drum. You are a such a badass. Also, the ES-135 is an amazing (in your hands at least!) and a totally underrated guitar.

[@MattBoltonMusic]

Thank you! Glad you noticed. I've switched pretty much exclusively to my strat these days. Should bust out the es135 occasionally.

[@davidefrison9230]

This must be the most incredible loop station performance I've ever seen. Sounds incredible, cannot believe it's just one man 🤯

[@24hourjukebox55]

I've been listening to Markus K. recently.....also will be listening to Matt....2 great inspirational players.

[@imageguy01]

Love how much fun you have making music!

[@ChrisTidestrom]

Sounds great, and phenomenal use of all your toys! Love the dual EV evolve 50 setup! I use two also, and play in stereo. It's great.

[@Apolopium]

Late to the party here but, hot damn brother. You got it going on with that setup. Very inspiring to loop-less souls like mine.

[@sergiusdo8317]

I'd love to hear your Queen cover! Sometimes it seems like your voice is so reminiscent of Freddy!

[@GearSounds]

Very nice use of the RC=600, great performance also!

[@banyanstudio]

Gracias!

[@lovemesomepollo]

Good lord you make the complexity of what you're doing look so simple that people walk right past your talent.

[@MattBoltonMusic]

Thanks! That's the way people are everywhere. People like to be told what they should be paying attention to, told what is good and what isn't. It's live music at a beer garden, they expect it to be just blah.. Glenn Gould could rise from the dead and play the Goldberg Variations at a beer garden and people would walk right by. Haha. It doesn't matter and it doesn't bother me one bit. The people that "get it", get it and the people that don't, don't. Most people need to be told what is good and what isn't so I appreciate it when people actually go out on a limb and pay attention and appreciate. So I appreciate you! Thanks! Believe it or not, at this place, everyone comes up to me at the end of the show and tells me they loved it. Sometimes they clap, sometimes they don't. But none of that matters. They're feeling the vibe and whether consciously or subconsciously they're all grooving along and I can feel it.

[@georgewoodsii3217]

Great advice for any performer! Thanks for the attitude advice❤️

[@bunscabs3234]

You're extremely great at what you do sir. The way you loop everything and play everything too. Amazing looper musician. Kudos. 💪🏻

[@bunscabs3234]

PS: the technicality of your gear is beyond great and super impressive , a lot of people can play but not all can be technical too. And you sing too. 😲💪🏻💪🏻

[@MattBoltonMusic]

Thank you! Glad you appreciate it. Check out my newer live streams. This video is an OLD video from about 1000 shows ago. I was just learning the pedal then. I think you'll enjoy the newer videos more. Also, I live stream EVERY show so you can always watch live and comment/request songs in the chat. See you in the chat!

[@oneandonlyarajivp]

LOVE LOVE this.The ease with which you perform and do your live looping and etc is amazing. Very inspirational. Are you able to do a video wheere you walk us through your setup and what instruments are you using and how you are triggering loops and samples and live looping please? That would be awesome. Also what is the mini piano you are using? Thanks

[@MattBoltonMusic]

I'm using the Reface CP. It has a "hidden piano" sound in the software. You have to open it up and cut the lead from the circuitboard to the toy piano and then power cycle the keyboard. Search the web for hidden piano sound reface and you'll find out about it.

[@markmusic3364]

The set up must take ages! Fantastic use of all the equipment though.... keys, drums, pedals (nice octave pedal use for the bass sound, delays, overdrive and clean sounds) and then there's the musicianship with great rhythm and lead guitar playing, coupled with great vocal timbre. Hat off to you sir!!

[@MattBoltonMusic]

Setup takes 12 minutes...most of that time is setting up the livestream on my phone. I have it down to a science. Breakdown and packup in 9 minutes. I can get from the car parking lot to setup in about 16-18 minutes depending on the load in.

[@markmusic3364]

That is a video in itself! I'd love to see that with a mission impossible soundtrack looped throughout the whole process! : ) @@MattBoltonMusic

Great looping skills and superb use of effects. Did you know the little Yamaha keyboard has a secret piano sound on board?

how do you get this superb guitar to bass sound? it's unbelivable!

[@daveycrockett9447]

Really enjoy your channel. Would love to know about your rig setup. See you have quite the guitar pedal board along with the RC-600.

[@MattBoltonMusic]

It's more simple than it looks. Pretty much all my guitar tone comes from this amzn.to/3KBPP2G The rest of the pedals come and go

[@ozanaydin7739]

Great set up! Amazing performance. One constructive criticism: you can make better the end of the songs - fade out ir something like that.

[@zuez1968]

Perfekt ;-)

[@cliffjones40]

[@souairtonjunior]

Great content! Are you using a octave pedal? If so, which one is?

[@DavidMichael613]

What an amazing performance! Your talent is truly inspiring. Not just the looping; you have a great voice, and your guitar solos are very melodic & well stuctured. What drum pad are you using? Greetings from Canada

[@MattBoltonMusic]

Thank you David. Glad you enjoyed it. Check out some of my newer videos. I was just learning the pedal back when this video was released. Here’s the drum pad. amzn.to/3R56Mpv

[@patrickploenzke489]

Are you using the "Guitar To Bass" in the RC600 for your bass guitar sound?

[@jeffbateman2339]

Matt, you always sound really good, and I thank you for sharing what you do. Just curious if you set all this up for every gig, or is this a house gig? Also, do you have a video that goes over your whole rig? Thanks!

[@MattBoltonMusic]

Yes, I set up and break down everything for every gig. About 6 nights a week. I know it seems like a lot of stuff (which it is) but my setup and breakdown are extremely efficient. From turning off my car in the parking lot, I can be loaded in, set up and soundchecked in about 12-15 minutes. That's carrying everything into the venue, plugging it all in etc. The number one thing that takes up most of my time is setting up the stream. Titling the stream, checking the wifi, signing into the platforms, checking the signal, resetting the audio driver, connecting to the bluetooth MIDI for the stream mic mute, troubleshooting why the stream isn't working, etc. There are always issues with the stream. My PA sound and setup is easy and takes no time at all. If I didn't stream, the gig setup would be even faster. I can break down everything and load the car in about ten minutes. For example, I played a festival gig last weekend where I broke down all the gear, put everything in their respective cases, spoke to the patrons, got paid, carried everything to the artist parking lot, and drove away all in 21 minutes. At a festival! Bar gigs are WAY faster. I've spent a lot of time making sure my set up and breakdown are extremely efficient. For example, I've just switched to a new custom keyboard stand because it has TWO less knobs to tighten and loosen. That adds up over 100s of gigs. I also added a sustain pedal to the keyboard that also doubled as a Leslie speaker fast/slow switch. But the extra 30 seconds it took to get it out and plug it in and find the right spot on the floor to put it just weren't worth the benefit. Everything I add to the setup I have to do a time cost analysis. If it adds a minute of setup time, it REALLY better be worth it. Those minutes really add up. There is no video that goes over my whole rig and I have no plans to make one, sorry. Thanks for watching the streams and I'm glad you enjoy them!

[@jeffbateman2339]

@@MattBoltonMusic I play 4-5 nights a week and have my setup and tear down very efficient as well.. though I don’t setup quite as much. What are you using for your electric guitar tones?… That’s the main thing I wanted to know. Thanks for your time

[@jensloenborg1]

Hi Matt. How are you making your Bass sound?? Its really good. Jens

[@MattBoltonMusic]

It's all about the bass bout the bass bout the bass no treble. It's a POG! With lots of EQ, compression, gain staging, etc. Any bass pedal by electro harmonix does the trick as long as you EQ it and make it sound nice with some sound shaping but Electro harmonix gets you 90% of the way there.

how do you get a bass when the rc 600 doesn't give you one and you haven't been seen recording one?

[@MattBoltonMusic]

I’m using an octave pedal and recording the bass parts live on the fly. You just didn’t notice I guess. 0:40 is where I start recording a bass part. Go to my channel and watch some of my more recent videos to see hundreds of hours of examples.

[@oliverk1978]

What if a chords it s not the same in all part of song? How it work loop station in that situations?

[@MattBoltonMusic]

It has six tracks. You can put different sections of the song with different chord changes on different tracks, pages, etc. It's.....complicated. Takes a lot of time and practice.
