“I’ve found that some of the amps that sound great are just not loud enough. And I don’t want to put the signal through the monitors if I can at all avoid it. Generally you can find the Mesa Boogie Mark III combos on the road 90% of the time, and that’s my favorite amp, because they have the EQ and I jack the shit out of that, say to roll off highs and add lows and mids, and that, with my guitar and my set-up really makes it-on Bump it’s the [Mesa] Boogie with all the pedals. But I’ve also had good luck on the road with Fender’s new Twin, not the re-issue. On Works for Me I used what is called a Victoria High Powered Twin, a 2-12? with a tiny touch of RATT and a little bit of reverb…but not enough. And the Victoria doesn’t have the bottom of the Mark III, but it has a quality I like, and I used on the new record. I bought one of those tubed outboard Fender Reverb units to go with it, but I only used a bit of plate on Works for Me.”

"I like the Waterfall pedal and use it a lot now. It does what my old chorus did and some cool new stuff that I've never heard before."

In an article titled "John Scofield's Outside-In Approach To Jazz" on Sfjazz, a photo by Jan Persson captures John Scofield performing with Miles Davis in 1984, playing a black Ibanez Roadstar II SSS, circa 1984.

John Scofield’s signal first passes through a Vertex Buffer interface, which, according to Scofield at (2:05) is, “this cool thing that [Vertex] makes which allows you to go through all your pedals, without the sound degenerating.”

Sco has this filter modeler pedal as stated in this article.

The signal enters the board through a Vertex input buffer and then through a true-bypass loop that contains the DigiTech Whammy XP100. From there it goes through a TC Electronic Polytune Mini, Vertex Axis Wah, J. Rockett Blue Note overdrive, and a Vertex-modified Boss GE-7 Equalizer.

"I have a 1963 ES-335 that I got a long time ago, and I recently got a 1962 ES-330 that I really like. I’ve got an old Fender Telecaster, the guitar I bought in high school that somebody resold me about 10 years ago, and I have some Custom Shop Fenders. I have a nice old Gibson Howard Roberts as well. But I mainly play those Ibanez guitars because I’m used to them, and I really like the way they sound and feel."

At the very bottom of the section, he says he uses Dunlop Delrin 2.0 mm picks.

John Scofield is known to use a Montalvo Flamenco Guitar, featuring a cutaway, spruce top, and cypress sides, as detailed in the Jazzguitar article "John Scofield Guitars, Guitar Amps & Effects."

According to the Fulltone Website, John uses the Fulltone Supa-Trem ST1.

In recognition of the 25th Anniversary of the PRO CO Rat, the manufacturer recently presented the first of its custom stainless steel commemorative 25th anniversary vintage Rats to legendary guitarist John Scofield.

The signal enters the board through a Vertex input buffer and then through a true-bypass loop that contains the DigiTech Whammy XP100. From there it goes through a TC Electronic Polytune Mini, Vertex Axis Wah, J. Rockett Blue Note overdrive, and a Vertex-modified Boss GE-7 Equalizer.

In this photo source, the EHX Micro Synthesizer is visible as a part of Scofield's pedalboard.

John Scofield uses the Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb as one of his stage amplifiers, as evidenced by his performance at the Leverkusener Jazztage 2023, documented by WDR Rockpalast.
