David Hislop [Bethel Music] Pedalboard Rundown 2020 | Tone Walkthrough

To be fair, the Greer Lightspeed is a pretty well liked overdrive outside of church circles. Drew from Switchfoot used one for a good bit before Jackson Audio made him a signature drive. Rabea Massad and Pete Honore also both really like it. There's a ton of secular guitarists that play boutique stuff.

Holy tone!!!!!!! Thank you for this. Tone is perfect. However behind this is an incredible guitar playing. Could you do a video on your playing? Like how you approach/think about guitar when your playing live. Or what type of things you practice? Saw you play live in San Antonio with bethel and you were the only guitar player and your playing was so good, soooooo good so was your tone. But tone is nothing without a skilled artist behind it. Thank you!!!

[@DavidHislop]

Thanks for the kind words man - I’ll put it on my to-do list!

[@scottpgreer]

Sounds great man, good stuff, what's most impressive is your humble delivery, I think your inviting personality will connect & inspire people as much as the gear/tone, and that's what we should be doing for our brothers and sisters. Great Job, and I'll be on the look out for HX Stomp presets...I've recently pulled most of my strymon stuff off and I'm using the stomp with my analog drives & comp...

Nobody: Worship guitarists: *STRYMON*

[@Liko81DJ]

Henning Pauly (EytschPi42) likes 'em a lot too, and he's a hard-rock/metal-type guy. But he's also an insane person, so... In all seriousness, Strymon products are *really* good, as long as you don't mind digital effects, and an empty wallet.

Hey!! Blessings, I´m form Ecuador. Excelent sound! You are a genius at this! I want to ask about the noise, I power my pedals with Zuma, I have some Strymon pedals, JHS, etc. but I can't get rid of an annoying noise, any advice? My guitar is a Stratocaster

[@GabrielC_grv]

Hello, the noise problem could be a few things together. 1.) Your pickups are single coils so theres pickup noise & hum 2.) Compressor pedals add noise to your signal 3.) Poorly/cheaply made guitar cable or patch cables dont shield and block radio frequencies 4.) If your amp gain and volume gain are really high then there is going to be added noise even if youre on a modeller 5.) Take off some of the high and low frequencies but not too much to where theres no punch or clarity, interference is also in the highs so that should help. 6.) Use a quality di box and add buffers to the beginning and end of your signal I've found those help a ton 7.) And finally always use grounded power & make sure the metal parts of your patch cables arent touching if they're cheap ones & if a patch cable is dying then they can buzz and crackle. Hope this can help you with your board and future problems God bless! 🤙

If you’re still getting into worship playing I would highly suggest getting a volume and reverb pedal - doesn’t have to be fancy. I’ve been running a Boss volume pedal and an RV-6 on modulate setting for about a year now and i haven’t needed to do anything it can’t offer me. Especially for ambient stuff and lead lines, that’s an absolute game changer for the worship sound. I use the RV6 in some capacity every single time I play worship stuff :)

The pitch fork is such a great swiss army knife type pedal. Pog type octave, whammy, chorus/detune and harmony in that little space. That 75% mix is a great tip. I think I'll try that on my Helix to see if it takes a bit of the nastiness off. I'll also check out your IRs. 🧐 Thanks!

@@DavidHislop is there an update on that video idea? haha

[@jamesdanko2465]

Hey David Hislop, I have a question if you’ve got a minute or three haha. I’m worried that sometimes I disappear from the mix. People in the congregation say that they can hear me during the choruses/loud parts but that they can’t hear me when it’s a lower dynamic like a bridge or a verse or if I’m doing ambient stuff. We don’t have a lot of instruments necessarily, it’s usually just me on electric, bass, drums and keyboard so I don’t think that I should ever disappear unless I’m just not playing. That makes me question wether I have my gain staging/overdrive staging set up correctly. Currently I have it so when I kick on my overdrives for choruses and that bigger sound it gets louder, and I’m assuming that the sound guy mixes me in at this level, so when I don’t have those on I drop out because I’m not loud enough/don’t have enough gain, hypothetically speaking anyway. Should I not have my drives give me more volume? Should I decrease the volume I get from my drives so everything is the same volume wise?

[@benjoshuafernandez4301]

Hi James! I'm not David Hislop but I might be able to help. I apologize if I have wrong grammars in this comment. English is not my native language 😅. I was an electric guitar player at my church and became a sound guy when our former sound guy went to another country. I'm not the best sound guy but I learned a lot from watching videos on youtube and also by practicing on virtual soundchecks. The thing is, your volume might not be the problem. Being loud doesn't mean you will cut through the mix . So here are some of my thoughts that might solve your problem: 1.) Difference in tone between your non-overdriven and overdriven sound. It might be that your guitar's mid frequencies disappears when you do not engage your overdrive. An electric guitar is usually heard in the midrange frequency. 2. You might be playing in the same range as the other instruments. Your instrument's sound is easily buried in the mix if your playing in the same range as the others i.e. keys. 3. You're electric guitar's sound is not mixed right in the front-of-house or your band's overall sound is not mixed right at all - If every instrument in your band is not EQd correctly, it will muddy-up your mix therefore losing clarity on your overall mix. I hope this helps. God bless you! 😊

Thanks for the cool video man! Quick question about your guitar volume knob - noticed you were swelling with the knob instead of the VP. When you play, are you basically keeping your guitar volume knob at 10? I usually play with it at 7 but know other guitarists dime it and dial in their tone that way. Thanks and God bless!
