Scallon has a signature series of guitars released by Chapman Guitars. Three more guitars were added to his line in 2020.

Scallon, in partnership with Sweetwater Sound, received a Guinness World Record for the largest guitar effect pedalboard in 2019. The rig included 319 individual pedals, 34 pedalboards, and over 500 feet (150 m) of cables. The board was played by Scallon and Alex Lifeson of Rush.

In 2016, MetalSucks placed Scallon 23rd on a list of "The 25 Most Important People in Metal". In 2020, Ultimate Guitar placed Scallon 11th on a list of "25 Best Guitarists Who Broke On the Scene After 2010".

Scallon began uploading to YouTube in February 2007, and began to develop a following in 2008. His popularity launched as he began to cover metal songs with folk and country instruments. Most notable are his renditions of songs on banjo, including "Raining Blood" by Slayer, "Master of Puppets" by Metallica, and "Psychosocial" by Slipknot, the latter featuring a cameo appearance by Corey Taylor. His videos, edited by Jake Jarvi, have featured collaborations with Andrew Huang, Boyinaband, Davie504, Jared Dines, Leo Moracchioli, Mary Spender, and Sarah Longfield.
