A couple things: 1) I don’t change settings on the overdrives at all during this video. The varying levels of gain are from picking dynamics. 2) Every now and then I’ll add a boost or compressor on these; it’s typically during the really big parts. Above good guitar tone and having fun with gear, my prayer is that you would, maybe for the first time, hear the truth about Jesus Christ, the holiness of God, your condition apart from Jesus Christ and consider what those things mean for your life. Jesus is the Son of God. He lived, died and rose from the grave. There is no other name by which we can be saved. Repent of your sins. Abandon all hope in your good works. Put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and you will be saved. Reach out to me if you have questions and we'll go over the Scripture together.

[@dnice75]

Amazing job on this. Either one of these pedals would do just fine on any pedalboard! I love them both, but ultimately went with the Superbolt eventhough the Kilt is superb. Kudos brother and great demo video.

[@ggkohler]

Glorious tone and playing. Thanks for sharing.

[@waytogotimbo]

Is your boost before or after the drive? I love this superbolt sound and considering replacing my moonshine for it. God bless you dude!

[@GuitarforHISGlory]

@@waytogotimbo Hello there! Boost is after. God bless you, brother!

[@matthew_donnell]

It’s kinda rare to hear guys talk about the purpose of worship guitar. There’s not a lot of focus there. Subscribed because of your exhortation surrounding salvation. Beautiful, man. And great tones as well!

[@GuitarforHISGlory]

Matthew, it saddens me that it’s rare.

@@GuitarforHISGlory I understand. But we can make that difference. 😊 and it starts with just telling people about the Jesus, and letting the Holy Spirit do His work.

[@benjaminkoskinen5835]

Personally i think the Kilt just merged so amazingly together with the delay and reverb! The absolute winner in my opinion.

Could not make up my mind!!!! I have had a Timmy and a Morning Glory for years, so I just bought both of these! Cant wait to see how they sound with my Gretsch. Thank you for such a clean and polished demo!

bro, great video. killer tones all the way through. personally, i really love the Superbolt. one of my favorite drives. also, if you’re able to pick up a V1 Kilt at some point, they’re great for the extra volume with the boost side. it’s a really killer boost.

This sounds great! Thanks for sharing. I have the Superbolt and I love itBut I will say, the kilt definitely fits better in the mix

[@Bskijr]

The Superbolt sounds like there is ever so slightly a bit more going on tonally. Both sound great and similar enough that I'd be happy with either.

[@zeejonesy]

I use the super bolt as a stage 1/boost for my Tele, and it is amazing! It’s overtones and character is unmatched. I find that it gets pretty hairy in the higher settings with my Tele, but need to try it on some humbuckers once I get some!

[@GuitarforHISGlory]

Hey there. All glory be to Christ! Concerning the volume, I just use a boost when necessary.

[@HerroYuy246]

Yeah I just really feel more at home with the Kilt tone. Just keeps the chimeyness alive and it has just great clarity even getting super dirty.

[@GuitarforHISGlory]

Well said!

[@codymichael8783]

Kilt V2 sounds like it was helping your eq with more mid randge. The Superbolt was definitely brighter sounding. Both sound great. I have both.

[@just.because.why.not.]

What amp/amp pedal do you use? Awesome tone by the way. I'm thinking about a kilt, right now my only drive is a JHS double barrel, but I want to get a hard clipping drive for lead lines.

[@GuitarforHISGlory]

I was problem using the AXE FX III for an amp at this time.

[@danielmarshallmusic6314]

The Kilt on fuzz mode is almost too loud haha. I'm surprised you're saying it's too quiet.

[@flatbill2]

They are different for sure, but either are amazing.

How are you liking the Ax FX over other amp modelers you’ve been trying? I will say this video sounded the best out of everything you’ve used in the past.

It has blown me away. Best tone and software out of all the units to this point. So happy with it!

I have the opposite problem with my kilt. I have to run my kilts volume at 9-10oclock or it’s just way to much 🤔 I do have the V1 tho

[@GuitarforHISGlory]

Hmm…I have a V1 as well and find its volume to be very low. Maybe you have the ONE that doesn’t have the issue. 🤣

[@jmd12331]

@@GuitarforHISGlory it’s odd. I’ve had several v1’s and v2’s over the years and until one of the last v2s I got I noticed the output issue so much that I thought I got a broken one. I even reached out to JHS. But I do remember past ones having much more output. 🤷‍♂️

[@mrmimeguy]

What song is 21:08? it sounds familiar but I can't place it. The Kilt with this song sounds super phat

You’ve never heard it. It’s a new arrangement of a hymn we’ve been working on. 👍🏻

[@elijahgomez3376]

Just hearing a lot about the kilt v2 not having a lot of volume, would you say the same about the v1?

V1 does not have that problem. The Case Study Effects Aspen solves the issue altogether. Amazing pedal!

[@soulcaliber256]

Both are good they have their own characteristics well it depends to the dynamics and feel of the song on how you to engage the pedal.

By the way very nice comparison, well done bro. To God be the glory :)

[@erickdiaz6152]

Based on your comment about the output level of the kilt being low, would you recommend I put the kilt before or after a Protein overdrive?

[@adrianduites6931]

Does the superbolt pair well with the morning glory? I agree that the kilt does sound wimpy in volume.. was wondering if it's better to pair my morning glory with a superbolt instead.. need your thoughts on this..

[@GuitarforHISGlory]

They pair amazingly well together, in my opinion. 👍🏻👊🏻

[@frankkortez3569]

Your tone is amazing. Might be an unpopular opinion but I liked the kilt over the superbolt. I have a question, you don’t don’t stack your drives, but would stacking a superbolt with a MG sound good? Or should stacking be two light overdrives to make that second stage drive sound ?

[@GuitarforHISGlory]

The MG and the Bolt sound glorious together. Done that many times. 💯

[@BillOverton]

Also stacking MG with Kilt is awesome (G1 up, G2 down). I think I like that better than MG or Kilt high gain modes alone.

[@jeandavidable]

I can hear your touch in heaven, so good! Question for you, blue or red on the video ?

[@David_Perez06]

hey, Ive been a watcher for a long time now, but I just stumbled across this particular video and at minute 17:52, Im trying to get that trail of reverb and delay mixed in with that "feedback" kindas. Do you have what settings or effect helps make that possible? I saw something abt the morbius, what kind of modulation produces that nice trail without being too washy.

That’s what happens when you mix a big reverb and delay together. 👍🏻

[@_davidpoveda]

Are you using them at Unity? Does these settings don't break up too much your input in your interface/DAW or you're just using a PAD there? I love these and I've been using them as loud as you but these settings break up my interface quite a lot, considering I can't get them to be at unity, plus, the fact that the amps (real amps and dual iridium) have to be sooooo little in volume for these to work... :(

[@GuitarforHISGlory]

Definitely not at unity and no issues with the interface. Seems like the solution on your end would be to reduce the input gain on your interface. 🤷🏻‍♂️
