I don't know if it matters between different models. I have one of the original Matchbro models with the tone control in bybass.
I must have it close (with my Franklin) as I've fooled Bluegrass pickers and others that come up to the stage looking for the Dobro.
Timbre: 11 O'clock. Tone: 1 O'clock.
Remember to "think Dobro" when you use it. If you just use it like another effect it will sound like crap (what Mr Franklin (Sr) told me). |

And here are my settings (Timbre 12 o'clock - Tone 3 o'clock)

Where is the start point on the controls? My timbre is all way left at 6 o'clock. Tone all way left at 12 o'clock????

When the controls are turned fully counter-clockwise, both the timbre and the tone control pointers are at about the 7 o'clock position.
Both knobs point to the same relative position when turned all the way to the left.

| Which model do you have, Jamie? Like I originally posted there were several different models. Knowing Goodrich, there can be internal differences and even different knobs. |

Hello Jamie, Many years ago I had just just before the convention, bought a Match-bro. Buddy was there at his booth and I thought to my self, Man I just want to talk to him. So what I thought I would ask an him how to adjust the knobs on my Match-bro. He said, Well didn't you get an instruction sheet with your Match-bro? He was being very sincere and I said yes and I just melted away. Here is a post I made on ask Buddy in 2002 on how to set the Match-bro. By the way got to see you at the Jim Vest tribute. What a great night.
