Matt Schofield’s New Pedalboard
New pedalboard for Matt Schofield put together by Vertex Effects. This board is right down my alley – a few quality pedals put together really well. Its a great setup that covers the blues rock tones. Of course the fact they are hooked up to Matt’s Two Rock amps doesn’t hurt.
The signal chain is as follows:
INTERFACE (Vertex input buffer) > Sonic Research Turbo Tuner > Providence SOV-2 FTT > KLON Centaur > INTERFACE (break-out to Wah) > Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay > INTERFACE (Vertex output buffer w/splitter to two amplifiers. Amp 2 is transformer isolated with a polarity switch on the back of the interface)

Richie Kotzen “24 Hours”
Richie Kotzen is one of the few guys that can shred but still has a great melodic sense and a really nice feel. The other thing I love about Richie are his bling-tastic custom Fenders from the Fender Japan custom shop. Just so beautiful. Anyways, here is his new video single. Like? Not like?
Taylor SolidBody Configurator “The TastyTaylor”
After getting all excited just now reading about GuitarNoize’s and I Heart Guitar’s Taylor sponsored SolidBody builds I gave the online configurator a go myself. The configurator is really easy to use and gets the GAS muscles twitching. I ended up with a tastychop’s approved blues and classic rock machine. Two humbuckers, ‘burst, aged pearl guard … pure crunch and roll.
The specs on my one here:
Model: Classic
Cutaway: Double
Color: Tobacco Sunburst
Pickup: 2 Vintage Alnico Humbuckers
Bridge: Stoptail
Pickguard: Aged White Pearloid
What do you think?
Also, be sure to have a go of the Taylor SolidBody Configurator yourself. There’s some pretty loud colour options there so be sure to keep it tasty : )

1979 Dumble Overdrive Deluxe Video
Say the word ‘Dumble’ and a million internet forum based guitar players wet their pants and start discussing Robben Ford, Zendrive pedals, the Ethos Overdrive, Two Rock amps and John Mayer. They then proceed to upload their ‘Politician’ clips to vouch for their Dumble-ness and multiple flame wars descend from every direction. For all the hype though its worth checking out this clip to be reminded of what all the fuss is about. Great sound.
Dunlop Eric Johnson Signature Fuzz Face TBC
** UPDATE – PRODUCT LAUNCHED AT WINTER NAMM 2012 – READ MORE **
Rumours abound of a new Eric Johnson Signature Fuzz Face to be released shortly by Jim Dunlop. After the success of the Bonamassa edition its no surprise that Dunlop would be looking to follow it up with another celebrity Fuzz Face model and who better to partner with than the man with best ear for Fuzz Face tones in the business? The classic EJ tone is generally working off a vintage Fuzz Face, Echoplex, Chandler Tube Driver and a wall of vintage amps. It works … big time.
Below is a shot of a recent EJ setup with some rather special looking Dunlop Fuzz Faces.
