Hey Adam. I just stumbled on this video and I have to say you have a gift at explaining things and I love your heart for playing respectfully without adding distraction!! So it appears you run all your effects straight into the amp without effects loop and amp starting to break up. I have an ac15 and this is how I run my amp / effects as well. However, I notice that even with my amp on edge of breakup, as soon as I add overdrive and delay (timeline in tape) the repeat sort of farts out on certain notes as to say, when I play a lead part in dotted eighth. This only happens on certain songs such as the lead part for Great Things by Phill Wickham. I know turning the delay mix down can help with this but how do you do this and still get the delay sound coming through? Keep posting videos please!
Nice work, WI. Just curious, I've had to tap tempo for a 6/8 time song (like Who You Say I Am) by tapping the on the 1,3,and 5 or just the 1 and 3 to get a proper dotted 8th effect. It can be counter-intuitive and takes getting used to, but it does work. Do you have a better way? If so, why not inform your viewers? 4/4 or 2/4 is easy, but 6/8 or 3/4 can be a challenge. Thanks.
I play acoustic, and have been wanting to emulate that Phil Wickham delay sound. That galloping rhythm. I just can't figure out if it's dotted 8th or if he's using a quarter delay that's on the off beat. Any tips?
Im wondering what amp i should get. Guitar is Deusenberg STarplayer and i have a pedalboard with a lot of mid-pushed ODs( Scarlett love v3, wampler euphoria, wampler tumnus, prince of tone). Kemper is not an option for me as I have to have the feel of a real amp.
I have a Lonestar and a Mark V. I've owned a '64 twin reverb. I also own a Kemper. I exclusively play with my kemper at church and I can tell you that it feels like a real amp. Sometimes the best question to ask is what tool do I need for the job and then begin searching for the answer without biases. For me, the answer was the kemper because 1. I wanted to use my pedalboard 2. I couldn't get my amp loud enough to sound really good without blowing other musicians off the stage (my amps have 10-watt switches and that's what I set them to) 3. I wanted to be able to nail specific sounds. It's really hard to get a Lonestar to sound like an AC30 or a Plexi. But, I can nail those tones and more with the Kemper. 4. There are also Sundays or gigs where I can't have a big pedalboard for any number of reasons. The kemper is flexible enough to allow me to use it and the remote, so I don't have to bring a bunch of equipment if I can't. But I can still get close enough to the desired tones that most of my bandmates won't even notice the difference. I'm not making a kemper plug, just listing why I chose that route. I might bring an amp if we did an outdoor service or we were in the studio. But, 99% of the time we're not. So, in summary, look at your church. Does it support really loud amps? i.e. do you have isolation boxes, are you in an arena, are you OK with solid state amps, is your congregation OK with really loud music, are you OK with driving a Corvette at 15mph (which is what you're doing when you bring a tube amp to a church service), do you bring C4 to a game of bloody knuckles, etc... If your answer to any of those questions is no, then get something digital and play that. Or, buy a tube amp and something digital, then leave the tube amp at home except for occasions when it is the tool of choice.
I will say... The Kemper surprisingly feels like a real amp in your hands.... I was a skeptic until recently. But I'd say an amp would be dependent upon how you want to use those pedals. Check out the worship initiative overdrive video. Adam says he runs his amp set to just on the verge of breakup and then uses his pedals just to push his tubes into overdrive. But with all those pedals, you could stack and mix and match into a pretty clean amp and use the pedals for all your "distortion/overdrive". Also, how much volume your gonna be allowed to have is gonna help determine what amp you might want. Some amps, typically cleaner amps, will need to be LOUD to really get some natural breakup from the tubes. I love my Supro 1970RK for a nice middle of the road. I can get nice cleans and use my pedals for breakup or I can set my amp pretty hot and do more of what Adam does, which what I typically do in a worship setting. But I'd check out the overdrive video he did. It's fire. Hope this helps.
Got to meet Adam today at Worship 4:24. Very cool guy. Excited to check out these videos, especially the delay and reverb sets. Thanks!
This video is such a BLESSING!
Very well presented, informative and helpful! Thankyou!
Just starting out with all this and also just picked up a Timeline. This was incredibly useful! Thank you.
I love Adam Westlake.
Thanks for this video. Very helpful. God bless you and your ministry!
Thank you so much!!!!!!! this has been a very helpful Tutorial....
0:20 I do agree, it makes even simple electric guitar music sound nicer.
Very helpful! Thank you!
I'd also recommend the Source Audio Nemesis; killer unit!!!!
Amazing video and super informative. Thanks Adam!
great video. Super helpful.

Would be great to see some bass tone / rig videos too :)

Best video
Helpful stuff. Gotta love the 12:19 moment... 3-16th notes? John 3:16. Hmmm. I think I'm finding a cool 'pattern' here. :)
“Lord knows we love our delay pedals.”
But do we know if the Lord loves our delay pedals?
Ya. I asked. He love 'em
Historically God had a preference for BOSS Pedals. Parting of the Red Sea? Walls of Jericho? The Flood? 😅
Idk those sound like God was using Earthquake devices to make those things happen

I'd like to hear about chorus

With a rig like you've got there, you really owe it to yourself to have a Lehle Volume pedal...just sayin'! :D
Great video 👍 New subscriber here 👋
How you create “pad sound“ or I don’t know how to spell . I really love and need it during worship
Reverbs (not delays) will get you in the ball park of what you’re looking for I think.
To make pads, turn your repeats up and modulation up and use your volume knob to swell in after you strum a chord. A big reverb after helps too.
What's the song at 17:12

"You wanna make sure you don't have your mix to high"
Does not apply to Bethel stuff.
(I mean...it DOES...you know what I'm sayin') ;)
I think this video might have the wrong name...
Thanks for letting us know!
You lost me at god.
