Bethel Tones With JUST A HX Stomp All-In-One? YES!

[@hamills32]

Another outstanding video, giving us bedroom/Sunday players great resources to sound and play our best. Keep up the great work Justin!

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Hi Stuart, thanks for the kind words! Knowing my content has been useful is indeed keeping me going!

[@urklvt]

Hey man. Thanks for posting this. I bought your preset and tried it at rehearsal today. It was perfect for what I needed. The only thing I tweaked was the treble and presence on the amp model. I bound them to my expression pedal and set them to reduce to about 1.5 at the down setting, essentially making a “tone knob” for my Peavey Wolfgang that doesn’t have one. I also made the toe switch on the expression pedal the tuner on/off button so I could have all three switches on the stomp available. Keep posting these videos brother! You’re doing great work!

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Hi Eric, thank you for your kind words and support in downloading my preset! Your application of the expression pedal as an extended tone control and a tuner on/off button is cool! Which expression pedal do you use which has a toe switch?

[@mcpribs]

And the Wolfgang is, perhaps, the clearest guitar I’ve ever heard, likely due to no tone circuit. Wired straight to jack (if it is) is an incredibly clear sound. Great guitars!

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

I didn’t know that about the Wolfgang! Thanks for the nugget of info.

[@ruvchbrevth]

The worship tutorials Matchless Laurel Canyon is my go to in the POG go, left to right I have the Tonfactor fender Pro Sonic in the HX stomp, the tone is phenomenal!

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Ah, I should put that on my list of patches to try the next time they have a sale!

[@JosephNarvasa]

Really love to watch your channel Justin, also love how you always use and consider players who plays HH guitars, which I only have at church.

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Thank you for the kind words, Joseph! To be honest, I find a big difference in the noise between single coils and humbuckers, so when it comes to recording, my HH guitars find a lot more air time than my SSS guitars!

[@Tone4sunday]

Great sounds ..... Hey our sound guy says that an AC30 is the perfect worship amp because of where the frequencies fit with everything else ..... He's a pro and works with the pros regularly, so I definitely respect his opinion.... Also, that happens to be my favorite amp of all time (for worship). I appreciate your vids, great tone!!

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Hi Andy, thanks for the kind words! Ah, his words have more weight than mine, for sure! I did own a Marshall-esque and a Vox AC15HW at one point in time, and the Vox had a voice that just made the guitar audible in any band situation (it was a monster to carry around though!).

[@BelovedDefender]

I tend to really like the Matchless as an alternative to the AC30 in my patches. Once I started using the Matchless 1 channel in my patches I started liking my tones more and found them to be more inspiring for me personally.

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

That's great! The Matchless amps in the Line 6 ecosystem are so versatile. I can totally pull off a doubled guitar track using the Matchless on a metal project.

[@JeffHendricks]

Sounds great! Modern compact modelers are extremely capable, but it just takes time to dial things in. Totally possible to have a complete fly rig with a single pedal. GT-1000Core, HX Stomp and XL, Headrush MX5, Fractal FM3, etc. I've got a whole pile of pedals gathering dust since I went with a compact modeler.

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Hi Jeff, thank you for the kind words! A lot of time spent watching videos too, like Jason Sadites, Richie Castellano, and Steve Sterlacci. About the pile of pedals gathering dust, me too, me too...and that includes a colossal 32" pedalboard!

[@mcpribs]

I use AC30s for everything (yes, they can metal!). I find them tonally perfect for modern p&w…and most everything else. Great video, as always! Recently found you, and am loving your content, playing, and heart. Thank you!

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Hi there, thanks for stopping by and sticking around for my content! I appreciate it heaps! I'll let in on a secret, I also use AC30's for metal. Yes, I'll follow client specifications to record using a Mesa or a Marshall tight metal sound, but I'll sneakily blend in a separate track recorded with the AC30 for more hair and bite.

[@mcpribs]

@@AllAboutWorshipGuitar Love it!

[@guitarspeakpodcast1383]

Great video - thanks! I agree the AC30 style amps sound great. I've been digging the Jumped Marshall Plexi model for a different vibe.

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Thank you for the kind words! Ah yes, I recently did a tone crafting session with Hey Worship Leader and we used a jumped Plexi on the POD Go. Indeed, great stuff!

[@rexgary2366]

“… my entire rig can fit into one integrated carrying solution.” I’d love to see what you’re using!

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

A Mono Vertigo with a Guitar Tick! It fits all my carrying needs for my entire rig, including the laptop. Maybe I should do a video about it.

[@benjaminnaidoo9776]

To answer what amps we use in church, I used an Orange model for my rhythm tones and an AC30 and Tweed Princeton for cleaner, modulated tones. There's no rules, and I have a ton of fun playing around.

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

All three amps switched around in the same service? That's reaching Eric Johnson levels of versatility and setup! 👍

[@benjaminnaidoo9776]

@@AllAboutWorshipGuitar I should have maybe clarified, those are the amp models I've been using in my Headrush 😂😂 its been working well for the songs we've done at church

Ah, and silly me, I missed the word “model” in your reply!

[@hiriwarikihana1283]

New subscriber ✌️these tones are killler man, and loving the in depth knowledge drops on the HX stomp absolutely love this pedal soo much power and tech crammed in too such a small foot print. Def considering snaggin your preset bundle too, hopefully you got some similar presets to these in there, dont have a demo vid on these by any chance?? 😊

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Thanks for the sub, and for the kind words! I actually don't have a pure demo video of the tones in my pack, maybe I should put one together. But as a personal rule for me, the patches used in the video will be exact one available in the pack, no modifications. If the video is based on Bethel, it should be my Bethel pack, and if it's not specified, it's probably my HX Stomp Worship Essentials Pack. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnSXfqh5mt9sqKM

[@hiriwarikihana1283]

@@AllAboutWorshipGuitar fair enough! Makes sense your prices are beyond reasonable anyway so it may have to be multiple bundles in the cart lol 😁

[@derekhayes6686]

Sounds great Justin! As someone that doesn’t have a ton of money to spend I find your minimalistic rig videos very helpful. One thing that I would love to know is how you would approach making a cheap, single-coil guitar sound similar to the modern worship guitars that utilize filtertrons and P90 style pickups. I’ve tried using the eq within the hx stomp but I haven’t been able to get my guitar to sound as full and clear as I would like. Keep up the awesome work!

[@cearls1]

Try using a blue herdim pick turned backwards as made popular by the Edge. I like what it does for my Tele.

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Hi Derek, thanks for the kind words! I have touched on this subject before in previous videos on my RGX A2, which is a P90 style guitar (and a budget one at that): kzbin.info/aero/PL0U6CffjlF_QDryQNK8OGYGNKwnjyr2Fq

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Ah, that dulcimer bell-like tone with the scratchy part of the pick! I can kind of get the same sound with the Jazz III pick, but it's harder to nail it consistently due to the smaller size.

[@dingdang3845]

Thank you!

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

You're welcome Dan! I hope the content was useful!

[@kevinsalas2716]

For me, the Vox style amp sound is not overused. Some, like me, I like to emulate the sound of church guitarists and when I know what amp they are using I copy their settings but if I don't like the sound, I tweak it to my liking and if I still can't get "there" I choose another amp type like fender or matchless or etc. But mostly when I tweak the amp for my liking I stick to it even if I am not using the same amp type of that guitarist(s). Its a personal preference, really.

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Indeed, those decisions lead to a sound that is yours! I will admit though, even when I try to tweak these tones as close as possible to the original artist, my playing style still makes me sound like me. Copying and pasting each effect setting has no guarantee of achieving the same sound because we’re all unique.

[@TonefulPraise]

The AC30 has a time and place for sure in p&w. I mainly play 2nd lead/rhythm on my worship team and do prefer the sound of Deluxe Reverb (I get my tone through UAFX Dream 65) for those parts.

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Ah, the really cool layering of Fender and Vox tones, that's my default combination when I play with a fellow EG on the time. 2nd lead! That's a cool position to have. Your team must be quite big?

[@moments_with_IH]

Could you do something like this but for PodGo users? Thanks and God bless

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

That's in the pipeline! I'm thinking of putting together a "big three" of Hillsong, Bethel and Elevation patches in the same pack, but I haven't nailed the Elevation tone yet since it's hard to nail down what exactly is an Elevation tone.

[@moments_with_IH]

@@AllAboutWorshipGuitar good idea! Also, how did you set up the s snapshot up on foot switch 2? Thought only footswitch 3 had that capability

[@eman19857]

Thanks man. I was wondering which helix to buy.

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

I'm sure you'll make anything you get sound great, bro! I still can feel the awe and wonder of being in your recording studio.

[@510SPINESPLITTA8]

An HX Stomp is insanely overpowered for the demands of a worship guitarist. You absolutely can build that tone with just this modeler.

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Some of the subtleties of the rig can't be recreated with just the Stomp, to be sure. I feel like a real POG is much less harsh than what we have on the Stomp, for example.

[@510SPINESPLITTA8]

[@heyyougenee]

Sounds really great! Can these tones or patch be used for the Line 6 Helix LT too? :)

[@AllAboutWorshipGuitar]

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, these specific patches will load on a Helix, with a lot of empty buttons and blocks since it’s primarily for the HX Stomp. You could potentially build out a much more complicated rig with this as the starting point. However, I also have Helix-specific patches, which are also in the Bethel pack. With the LT, you will lose the two leftmost buttons (I think).
