Matt Schofield's Gear
On Matt Schofield's website, he says, "For the last few months I’ve been enjoying a Vemuram Jan Ray in place of the Klon. It’s a great boost and light overdrive pedal, one of the best I’ve heard, and the first thing to come along that made me pull the Klon of the board."
On Matt Schofield's website, he writes, "For 10 years, my 1961 Fender Stratocaster was the guitar I played on every gig. All original, except for a refret with 6100 wire, a five way switch with the tone knob wired to the bridge pickup, and replacement vintage style saddles. It’s had a few different pickups in it over the years, but is now back to stock. It’s my benchmark guitar, and has been used on every record I have made."
SVL built this custom guitar for Matt Schofield. "SVL also built me a Fifty-Nine model recently. This is essentially an ash body, hard tail version of ‘Daytona’, in beautiful see-through blonde."
Tokai ES-120 – Tokai custom shop’s great take on a vintage ES-335. Matt Schofield: "Tokai custom shop’s great take on a vintage ES-335. I like it better than most of the real thing I’ve tried!"
"Everything sounds great now without having a carry bunch of stuff around." ... 6:33 in this video.
On Matt Schofield's website, he says, "For many years I played all my gigs through my especially fine sounding 1964 Fender Super Reverb amp. All stock, with the exception of the now discontinued Reverend 1030 speakers, and the tremolo being disconnected. It’s still a benchmark amp for me, and is on most of my records somewhere..."
On Matt Schofield's website, he says, "After that, for a long time, I used a Klon Centaur as clean boost."
On Matt Schofield's website, he says, "Next are two Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay pedals. One set a little longer than a slap-back echo, with no repeats, is on for 99% of the night. The other is set to a longer delay with a couple of repeats for the occasional tune."
On Matt Schofield's website, he says, "I’ve used Providence cables for along time, and recently I’ve also been using the new Free The Tone cable too. I use Providence H207 from the guitar, Free The Tone CU-505o on the board, and CU-6550 back to the amp."
SVL creates custom guitars and amplifiers, and Matt Schofield's Daytona guitar is based off of their 61 model. "My main touring guitar is an SVL Sixty-One model, known as ‘Daytona’, for it’s distinctive blue paint work inspired by the vintage Ferrari of the same name"

SVL created this custom guitar for Matt Schofield.
"I also used my SVL Sixty-Custom guitar in several places on the last couple of records, and it often comes out on tour too. It was built as a replacement for Simon’s 1969 Telecaster that I “borrowed” for many years, and visually inspired by the early sixties edge bound Tele Customs I always loved the look of. It’s also an alder body, Brazilian board, and 6100 frets, with Lindy Fralin Blues Special pickups."
"...This model is the most advanced special version of the SOV-2 combining the custom SOV-2 Matt has been using in the past with a newly developed and very special input circuit, called the HTS circuit..." -via Free The Tone

So, well I've been usin' SOV overdrive pedals for over a decade now from Yuki's very first idea of the SOV, I still have the big SOV-1, so I've followed every single possible incarnation of it. So it's really been such a part of my sound ever since I started having a solo career, really.
