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.

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.
@fletches40847 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.
@voxpathfinder15r7 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.
@fletches40847 жыл бұрын
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.
@voxpathfinder15r7 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.
@fletches40847 жыл бұрын
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.

That's an amazing episode guys. Not just because Matt is my favorite musician but because I love That Pedal Show, I love what you two do and also everyone can learn at least a tiny little bit that's new to them from how Matt sees playing, music, tone etc. And he's got a lovely personnel as well. Great job Dan and Mick! More of similar stuff please. And we'd like to hear Mick's new amp too!

David Martin they have the metal zone video, but not really a video about his board and personal tone

Not gonna lie, I would enjoy that as well. If he used his Kemper... Could be a very interesting video

Southardknives doubt Dan and Mick would let a blasted Kemper through the door

Likely true. Not that I would blame them either. But that's part of what would make it a great video. Challenge the status quo
