John Mayer inspired presets // Line 6 (Helix, Stomp), Fractal (Axe-FX III, FM9), Quad Cortex

[@brettbianchi6706]

MAAAAANNNNNN!! Bradford you have outdone yourself, my friend.

[@BartSnoek]

Wow. Real nice how you explained the chain build, and being enthousiastic and have fun in playing, not to nail it 100%. I really appreciate your approach and overall tone.

[@bmitchellmusic]

FIRST! I had a ton of fun doing this and learned a lot. If you want some more in depth content on Mayer's tone let me know below! Would love to get an idea for what you need help with or wanna hear more of! Enjoy!

[@lucassoares2272]

Would love a breakdown of the thought process behind the making of the preset! Also tonex please 😅

[@TheFlyingKiwiNZ]

Just more. More!

[@solitro]

Yes, more on his playing style

[@ruandre5619]

More on how to appraoch his voicings and playing style!

[@AndrewShively-bk8no]

I want more song specific Quad Cortex stuff! I feel like that one gets ignored right now.

[@circa33]

oh baby...been waiting for this one for LOOOOOOONG time....and it does NOT disappoint ! Thanks! EXCELLENT playing

[@worshiptutorials]

Thank you!

[@benjamincunningham2174]

Oh baby!!! 😍 This is INCREDIBLE guys! Well done. Hats off to you, mate. This is nothing short of amazing. I’m so looking forward to playing this patch 💪🎸🔥🙌

[@davisbrewer2408]

Don’t trust myself is my favorite, here I thought no one payed attention to it. Your tone on it is on point

[@worshiptutorials]

It’s my fave too! Such groove. Much tone. Many wow.

[@Moist_Moose_]

You guys just upped the ante right here. Sounds amazing.

[@shockley1002]

Well done, hope it's a huge success for you! Always enjoy the channel!

[@DGGriffinMusic]

Great work! The clean tone is 🤌🏻

[@chriswofford]

I was about to buy this and then saw it wasn't available on the PodGO. Can't remember the last time I was this heart broken. It sounds sooo good!

[@alexandrepilatti]

gotta say i'm impressed with the 'i don't trust myself' tone. That is a tricky one.

[@worshiptutorials]

Thank you! Very tricky, yes!

[@davisbrewer2408]

As someone with just a helix and not enough experience or time to set a Mayer preset up, this is great

[@worshiptutorials]

Totally get that. Glad we could help bring some fun and some tone! :)

[@jessemayra]

That QTron is beautifully dialed in !!!!!

[@nileshbarla4639]

beautiful. Such lead lines or ideas will extremely useful to incorporate in mellow songs like "As the deer..."

[@jeremydawson4162]

Man!! This sounds amazing!! I'm bummed we can't get this for podgo!

[@jordanwest4595]

i saw that tour and the "Changing" solo... unbelievable solo

[@munoz299]

the I Dont Trust Myself sound...Chefs kiss my dude!

[@worshiptutorials]

Thanks!

[@brendonmueller]

been waiting for this since you teased it in the Two Rock patch video 😁

[@worshiptutorials]

Wait no more! :)

[@zachmyersmusic]

OMG OMG 😱 I’m gonna stay up all night refreshing the WT website so I can buy & download the patch ASAP

[@worshiptutorials]

It’s out now :)

[@timespacewarpngayondin2043]

Hope you would also have tones (this JM and all the worship tones) for the hotone ampero 2 stage…please please please please

[@jarriscrooks6524]

This sounds awesome! Any chance the Pod Go owners could get a cut down version of this patch? Maybe just to get the trio/where the light is sound would be nice 👍

[@LikeU2tributeband]

Finally....👌👏👌 well done, Bradford. Would have been awesome when you did Something like Olivia again, like in the Iridium video. Still love it and look at that very often.

[@johnnyway8667]

Can you please create Amp only/Direct captures for Quad Cortex? It would be really useful for running into a real cab live.

[@Glorybound1313]

So amazing. Very well done. Fingers crossed we get a David Gilmour setup in the near future. :)

[@alexeinmegas]

Beautiful

[@ericzee1901]

Amazing! Just purchased it thank you!! Can I request patches for Cityalight songs?

[@taylorclayton3402]

Awesome!!

[@Mauricehallo]

hey man, incredible work.. is it possible to bring these 2 RCK TC - TONE MATCH GEN2 PRESETS AND CAPTURES to the Nano Cortex as well?

[@worshiptutorials]

Yes that pack is compatible with Nano Cortex (the captures only, not the included presets)

[@ColinJosefMusic]

lincoln brewster next?

[@GxBxN]

Sounds awesome!! I wonder if you could do this for ToneX, minus the FX - for the amp/drive sounds.

[@worshiptutorials]

We are using the Two Rock Traditional Clean amp settings in these presets, so you can grab that pack for this tone on Tonex. There’s a link in the description.

[@GxBxN]

@@worshiptutorials ahh perfect! Thank you!

[@JohnWDGTandTele]

What is the clean patch that you referenced on your website that is a basic clean sound? I have a pod go and would like something similar. As a sidenote, I used your tone match patch of the two rock amp along with my Greer light speed overdrive pedal, set low on the overdrive yesterday at church. It sounded great with my PRS SE DGT !

[@jamessimon4883]

awesomeeeee!!!!!

[@airuiz2]

I haven't seen the team do much with the tone master pro.. my intuition says they have some foreknowledge of line 6s next big move. Love the helix thing but I feel like yall could make a big impact in the tonemaster space, which is currently pretty vacant. Great tones on this vid though!

[@worshiptutorials]

The option for us to sell patches with the TMP is not really there. We made content and while it did perform pretty well the desire for more and the adaptation of the unit from players doesn’t seem to be there. We still support really all our units the same and release a patch for multiple units at a time.

[@mattlynn6157]

Your comment about just feeling it and playing with his songs and not having to match them… you just described the blues genre. THAT is why I have struggled with Christian guitar for so long. People are constantly asking what pedal or what guitar or amp they need for a song on Sunday. Or they say they cannot play that song because they have single coil or humbuckers. I say get a guitar that has strings and that you can feel. I’m desperate for a Christian music movement that is the lyrics and intent we know but the musical freedom to feel what God has anointed in the player not in the replication. I like playing the old blue book songs more because they’re more country or blues where people play how they want not exactly how the original was made. Thanks for continuing to mix good music with Christian even if it’s not originating from Christian. Notes are all a joyful noise.

[@gantna]

Please build a Regge patch too, I sometimes play it but can't find a patch anywhere

[@jermboat44]

Any way you could upload this for the pod go?

[@jr0706]

Suggestions for something using Tonex? It’ll probably be easier once the new upgrade launches, but what captures should I be using?

[@worshiptutorials]

We used the Two Rock Traditional Clean amp/IR settings as the base for this preset. We've linked to that pack for TONEX in the description of the video, and we talk about it in the video. You'll have to roll your own effects (even the upcoming effects won't really be able to get these sound, except for the spring verb), but the core amp tone is spot on. The Traditional Clean is the precursor to the John Mayer signature Two Rock.

[@rocknfroll]

Fractal owner here. Am I correct to other ears out there that Helix sounds the best and, somehow, Quad Cortex seems like it might be the most fun to play? The Fractal tone sounded a bit "grainy" to my ear...

[@worshiptutorials]

In the opening track, all 3 units are using different levels of gain. Looking back it may not have been the best to demo the 3 units tho haha

[@rocknfroll]

@@worshiptutorials in your opinion does the Fractal FM-9 patch sound as good as the Helix patch at a lower gain?

[@yobelaji]

Make Asato patch HAHA, cheers 🙌🏻

[@jaiseng6679]

hi. I have a humbucker guitar and nux trident. How can i achieve JM sound?

[@photomakerman]

hx effects work on?

[@thompersons5860]

Please make this for pod go 🙏

[@joselcruz81]

This is my formal request for a Stomp XL patch LOL!

[@worshiptutorials]

This is already available for Stomp 👍🏻

[@joselcruz81]

@ the regular stomp yes. Can you make one for the XL to utilize the extra buttons and snapshot since I am too lazy to do so? That would be great! 🤣🤣

[@worshiptutorials]

Stomp XL is exactly the same as Stomp besides the extra buttons. The snapshots are already set up, so all you need to do is choose what things you want assigned to buttons and assign them. We do not create separate Stomp XL presets since it's such an easy (and personal) thing to do.

[@YouTubeaccount48473]

Great playing! I was hoping for something a lot more unique in the tonal department, but I suppose it's a pretty decent imitation (if you can play like the guy).

[@bmitchellmusic]

making a Mayer patch unique kinda defeats the purpose tho, wouldn't you say? ;)

[@YouTubeaccount48473]

@@bmitchellmusic Yep, but you said something about rethinking tone and then came out with something sounding very familiar ;)

[@bmitchellmusic]

@ I meant for me. I have to rethink how things are dialed in since things are different than how I normally do them is all.

[@noelthomas6955]

Should’ve done this 4 years ago😭

[@skylork1990]

That prs tho❤

[@worshiptutorials]

It’s so good

[@AndrewShively-bk8no]

Kinda obvious, but I think it’s important to note that you should play a strat style guitar when using these style presets lol. There’s countless presets like this on the market and unless you play that style guitar, it just doesn’t sound right. Given that this is a p&w channel primarily, and most of us aren’t typically playing a strat style on a Sunday morning, using your Gretsch paired with this patch isn’t gonna make you sound like Mayer. Sure it gets you in that territory, but the style of guitar itself is 80% of the tone. Mayer’s core tone isn’t really that complex in terms of effects, but it’s Mayer himself who makes it sing as Bradford points out.

[@gentryguitar]

Where are the Tonex captures??????😭

[@worshiptutorials]

We used the Two Rock Traditional Clean amp for these presets, so that’s what you’d want to replicate it. Tonex isnt able to do the effects necessary for the song sounds.

[@bmitchellmusic]

addressed it in the video too ;)

[@gentryguitar]

@@worshiptutorials sounds good! I’ll have to check it out!

[@paulkibbe9358]

Sounds incredible!! Amazing work!! Was looking forward to this one! You sounded a little out of breath a few times. lol. All the excitement for the patch. lol

[@MikeSheasheaDtree]

That sounds amazing! I have a Line 6 spider V 240HC, anyone know how I can get close to this sound on my rig? 😀🤔

[@SergioFigaroa]

I’ve been playing these type Strat tones in all the p&g songs that don’t have them lol. I get the typical “that doesn’t fit here” comments lol 😂

[@bogse]

I dont understand who buys presets when they are so easy to make yourself and what I have buyed years ago (yes I made this mistake) doesnt sound even a tiny bit the same they sound in demo. There are so many variables that they just cant sound the same. If you cant make presets there are tons of free presets in Helix Line 6 pages, some are very good presets and you can tweak them for your gear so you get the best presets for free.

[@worshiptutorials]

I don’t understand why people buy those Dude shoes. But they do. Market for everything, my friend! We just want to help people.

“Inspired” is key here.. That’s all. Worship Tutorials

No pod go 😢😢

Bradford trying to impress that church girl in the second row I see.

[@worshiptutorials]

My wife cares zero 😂

[@PepeRobasSalinas]

Tonex ???😢

[@worshiptutorials]

ToneX doesn’t do this effects. I addressed more in the video too. Please watch for more info.

[@AMVANCITY]

Am I the only one who absolutely dislikes the John Mayer sound and music overall? Woof

[@worshiptutorials]

No. But I love it. Thanks for the comment tho! :)

[@AMVANCITY]

Doesn’t mean I don’t love you, Bradford

[@lucassoares2272]

Probably 🤷‍♂️

[@paulkibbe9358]

Yes

[@DanielDChannel]

I don’t like his music but his tone does sound pretty nice.

[@mariowatches]

I wonder when can we get this but for the underoath kids like me. (I did say kids, I'm in my mid 30s)

[@Joe-vc2cc]

Of course it was John Mayer 😂

[@johnaaron2585]

What does John Mayer have to do with Worship music. We play to glorify God. Let’s not forget that.

[@worshiptutorials]

Didn’t forget that 👍🏼 thanks for watching

[@sethorea5117]

I’m sorry guys but not even close!!! I wasn’t expecting nothing crazy with helix but with fractal and tonex?? big disappointment!!!

[@worshiptutorials]

Enjoy your weekend 👍🏼
