Matt Scannell's Gear
My amp is a Divided by 13 JJN 50/100 into a Lopo Line straight 4x12 with Celestion G12-65 speakers. I mic the cab with a Telefunken M-81.
"Helix sounds and feels "real". It’s the first time I’ve played a modeling processor and believed both with my hands and my ears that there was a tube amp cranked in the tracking room."
My PRS Hollowbody II's have an L.R. Baggs piezo bridge that allows me to blend a convincing acoustic sound in with my electric tone. I love what that added element brings to a live performance. I first saw Alex Lifeson use that type of system and it blew my mind - I kept looking for the other guitarist!
"The Maxon SD9 Sonic Distortion has a wonderful, aggressive sound with full lows and crisp highs. It also cleans up nicely when you roll the volume down on your guitar, unlike other high gain distortion pedals I've used. I just love the chaos in this pedal - it's got great distortion and a bad attitude. Killer!"- Scannell about Maxon OD-9.
