Are you using an actual amp or sim? Sounds great ❤

[@churchmusicco]

It was Helix Native in this video! I love having the Helix tones in my DAW 💪🏻

Hello! What is the song at 0:32?

[@peeckle1657]

Raise a Hallelujah

[@CE-22]

Sounds like "ik zie het kruis, van mijn verlosser"

[@josh.miller]

@@CE-22 thats what I was thinking

[@abcde3397]

wow this is gold... thank you!! btw do you think its possible to do worship with just one overdrive pedal??

[@churchmusicco]

Absolutely! Try dialing in your amp a little dirtier and using your volume control on your guitar! Turn it down when you want to clean it up, boost it when you want drive. Hit your OD pedal to send it to the next level for lead tones!

[@Caissonn]

Yo what guitar is this it sounds amazing

[@churchmusicco]

A Harmony Silhouette with Bigsby, it’s my favorite! I think it’s a perfect midrange option for worship guitarists

[@boooboooboy]

Cool

[@churchmusicco]

Thanks!

[@n0wsinn]

reminds me of flyleaf

[@davrahwilkins2642]

flyleaf was christian so

[@churchmusicco]

Love flyleaf!

[@medinsmakemusic]

Are low output pickups a must?

[@churchmusicco]

Definitely not! They help just because worship music employs less grindy pickups. Single coils are great, even some rippin’ EMGs can pdub if used right! Clean is the name of the game for your base tone

[@lyncolnrutherford7519]

Love the tones! Anyway you could share the exact chain?

[@churchmusicco]

It’s all in Helix Native. I don’t remember the exact chain from this video, but I usually do Kinky Comp(SP comp)>Heir Apparent(KoT)>Pillars (TS)>transistor Tape>AC30 Fawn>Dynamic Hall or Plate

[@danielmiller2886]

I am struggling with tone. I have an AC 30 emulator pedal, a fender emulator and a boss katana 50. Every guitar I try with any combination of those, unless it's a high gain and drive sound, any bridge pickup just sounds nasally and shrill to me.. part of it is personal preference I guess, but I hear you guys online and it sounds good on the bridge pickup like at the very end of your video. I dial in tones at home for the bridge but at church I always end up switching to the neck pickup. Am I just nervous about really standing out? And yeah, I'm pushing mids up but I think I need a 10 band eq to get to what I like.

[@churchmusicco]

I get that! My favorite thing to do is dial the amp in for the bridge pickup. Turn down the treb, *maybe* tuck the mids depending on the amp and the guitar, and don’t be afraid to let some low end through. Make sure the amp is on the edge of breakup too (which is typically MORE gain than people feel like they should have, especially when listening in isolation). Then use a pedal like a tubescreamer that dumps low end whenever you need to use your bridge pickup. Let me know if you’ve tried any of this before!

[@danielmiller2886]

@@churchmusicco Thanks! Last Sunday I think it actually worked out pretty well because I adjusted for the bridge specifically. The only drive pedal I have at the moment is a blue driver clone, but a TS is on the list. Side note for entertainment: I was using a NUX multieffects for some reverb and delay. We had just started practice when it decided it was going to set itself to factory default and started going through the presets without me even being anywhere near it! It stopped on a high gain autowah preset and everyone just turned and looked at me like "what the heck are you doing??" Lol. It got ripped out of the signal chain real fast!

[@danielmiller2886]

@@churchmusicco Thank you for taking the time to reply. I'll definitely give your suggestions a go.

[@davidfloresofficial]

Is the last stage drive for solos?

[@churchmusicco]

Definitely! Add more gain and/or delay to flavor!

[@davidfloresofficial]

@@churchmusicco thank you! I’m fairly new to the way pedals work I’m glad you love to help! God bless !

I like my AC15 more than the AC30. Sounds much clearer to me.

[@churchmusicco]

Dude I was just playing my AC15 thinking that. I love a 30 still, but the 15 has a bite in the mids that the 30 doesn’t have

[@NisseHesedingMusic]

[@travisfreeman1873]

So basically try to be the edge from U2. 😂

[@churchmusicco]

Right! 😂 I like to think worship music has taken a lot from shoegaze too

[@johnnydev9318]

I play guitar (& keys) in church too, albeit without all these bells and whistles. Tell me, when did talking like a dufus become a prerequisite to being a good worship musician ? You're not alone, bro', but why not just talk normally ?

[@churchmusicco]

I like the way I talk :)
