John Scofield — Rig Network

Scofield's primary guitar — the AS200 is a fully hollow archtop with custom Scofield-spec pickups that produce a warm, articulate tone under moderate gain. The guitar's full-hollow construction provides the acoustic character beneath the amplified signal.

Used before the Ibanez relationship — the ES-335's semi-hollow construction and PAF humbuckers through the Twin produce a similar slightly-driven archtop jazz tone.

Scofield uses the Twin at the edge of breakup — volume high enough that hard picking produces a slight, natural saturation. This amp-driven light overdrive is his primary gain source.

Mild Tube Screamer for adding warmth and slight compression to lead passages — low gain setting, the pedal functioning as a tone enhancer rather than standalone distortion.

Wah for funk-context rhythm guitar and expressive lead passages — Scofield uses wah within jazz-funk arrangements more rhythmically than purely expressively.

Moderate delay for adding dimension — set conservatively.
