5 Tips for Dialing in WORSHIP GUITAR TONE 

So glad to help!!!

Yeah wet effects before or after depends. If you have a modeler you can test it way more easily. If you dont have a modeler and only have one amp then you are losing your stereo output so after becomes a must if you want to preserve those effects. I use both. For my strat i use a QC to run stereo amps and feed the wet fx into them. Perfect amount of saturation For my strandberg with active pickups, anything and everything sounds more like harsh clipping than tasteful saturation no matter how much i adjust gain and the send level of my fx loop so after sounds better in this case😊

The reasoning behind that is that using an fx loop is essentially running your wet effects after your amp. That is the purpose of an fx loop. If you really play with the delays and reverbs in your effects loop I'm sure you can make it sound big. I used to always run wet effects before my amp modeler but I now run them after and it has never sounded better. You just have to find what works for you.

Gotcha! Yeah so when doing worship stuff, in my experience, it’s best to run 2 amps in stereo (either real or I use 2 modeler amps in the HX Stomp). So I was saying put your reverb and delay before your amps/amp models/etc. hope that helps!

@@NickPotockiMusic awesome, thanks for the response!

Thanks David! Personally I double track with my stereo rig and hard pan those, but definitely tracking mono should create a very similar result! As yes definitely I track with wet effects to get that pre amp wet effect grit in the tone. Hope this helps!

@@NickPotockiMusic thank you ! You doing very nice work. I hope to learn more about CCM production in this channel. I also hope that more people watch your content because it’s really interesting and right on the point

If the mid control on your ac30 amp sim is a tone cut like it would be on a real ac30, dial that up a bit to cut back some of the high mids, as well as bringing back the treble a little bit

Nice! Yeah definitely getting the wet mix dialed it home versus church takes a couple weeks to dial in! Good luck with it!

Nearly identical situation here. I’ve got a cheap exp pedal dedicated to my big sky because I can’t trust my mix settings between home and church. Also, our FOH is mono, I’m trying to convince our worship pastor to swap to stereo but it’s a small church with a struggling budget, so the idea of hiring someone (or DIYing) is a tough sell. Will definitely try running delay and reverbs first. Love the sound. Although I will admit the quieter worship moments sounds really nice with we effects after.

Is it the compressor sustain blue pedal?
