How to Dial in Your Amp for Worship Guitar
Today, I'm going to break down how I dial in an amp for Worship Guitar. Dialing in an amp can be daunting, so I'm going to simplify the process of how I get a rounded, chimey, edge of breakup sound. That way, whether you are using your amp at home, an amp at church, or backline gear at a gig, you'll have a process to get it sounding like you in no time. And while the tone we are dialing in today is meant for modern Worship, and ambient styles of playing, this process can be applied to just about any amp, modeler, and genre.
There are so many layers to guitar tone, but I think getting the amp right is arguably the most important step. The amp is the foundation of our tone, so it's critical ...

What the heck does "Filling Space" mean in Worship Guitar?
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.28 дней назад
Today we are unpacking a Worship Guitar phrase that you've probably heard before: "Filling Space." Filling Space is such a weird phrase to me, especially within context of worship music. It almost seems like nonsense. Fill space, but place less? Kind of weird. Today we'll be breaking down what people mean by filling space and how to effectively do so in worship. I've broken it down into 3 level...

But can your pedal board do audio drop-outs too?
I have both and they sound different on the exact same settings.
Okay, you just blew my mind! Downloading now!
Does sound much better than a quad Cortex and a pair of audio speakers huh? Nice video man, sounds alright to me :) Thanks
@@gibson2623 HA! 50% or more of the sound you’re hearing is the Quad Cortex though haha! I said I used the line out to bypass the speaker and used the QC for cabs, and FX. But yes, I like playing on an amp. I don’t know very many people who don’t.
@@JustinMuncy But i refered to the amp sound when you tweeked it, LoL. The only problem with amps is that they are fooking loud for a good tone. BUt I use a trick to play like an amp with my tonemaster pro or Boss GT1000.....I use an Orange power amp so that i connect say the boss gt1000 to it and the power amp to a real cabinet. That makes a great change for better....You see, the thing is the air being moved by the cabinet speaker....AUdio speakers will always give you that finicky shitty sound. Try a power amp with your cortex and a real cabinet. You ll be surprised. :)
@@gibson2623 Yeah, but I had the master volume off! So I was in fact listening to it through speakers, and it sounds fantastic! Haha! The volume battle is real, but you’ve heard me say it before, I don’t buy into the “pushing air” thing. I’ve pretty much always played on IEMs and have in most cases, had the amp either off stage or facing away from me. That doesn’t make an Earth shattering difference to me. I think there’s a dynamic difference between playing on an amp vs a modeler. I notice that more.
@@JustinMuncy Not on the tonemaster pro, it does that better than the quad.... I m still not understanding the setup you had.....For starters you were not using the fx loop cause that amp doesn t have one i think....What was your signal flow?
@@gibson2623 Guitar -> Amp -> Line Out (the line out skips the power amp section so you can have the volume off on your amp but still get signal. That’s what I did.) -> Quad Cortex for Cabs + Post FX -> DAW -> Studio Monitors to reference the sound.
7:10 sounds milky smooth. Great video, man!
@@MickelMart Thanks dude!!
I love the "tone is in the fingers" guitar players that would only play thru their vintage $10k amp or vintage $10k guitar **achoooohypocritesoooo** excuse me. Btw, amp really sounds fantastic!
@@musicafteroldage Hahaha for real! If tone was only in the fingers, then why do people buy different guitars, pedals, and amps? Thank you!!
Good content again.. You are on a roll, keep pumping out quality content.
@@danielgrubb9496 Thank you Daniel!!
Fuzz into overdrive. WHen you are in the room, overdrive into fuzz is ice picky!
I got mine the other day and absolutely love the QC. I’ve owned almost every modeler out there and this one sound wise impressed me the most. Especially the Gojira presets. I loaded up a box of L6 gear and pedals today to sell. No regrets.
Hey brother, do you have this preset available?
@@johnnywicoff Hey! I do: justinmuncy.etsy.com/listing/1596136504/quad-cortex-jm-pedalboard-pdf-preset All of the links to my presets are in the description.
In the rhythm part i liked more the ov first fz second. But the opposite in the reverb lead part.
I believe the Fender Tele is the overall best.
Nice!!!
B sounds compressed to me and a bit boxy. A sounded better to me and more airy. I don t know which is which, but I prefer A :)....keep me posted mate...thanks. Nice riff also
Great playing and tone
Thank you so much Bobby!!
The Tele and Gibson sounded best.
Nice!! Those are my top two as well!
Worship it's not a genre it's just kind of indi but Gospel does everything.
Great recording, sounds Mutt Langeish. You should do music production videos too if you’re not already…
Thank you so much Robert!! I appreciate that. That would be cool to do for some future videos!
The one that doesn't buzz under the lights on stage.
LOL!
Try putting the doubler after the end of all the mono blocks as putting it first in the chain you won’t get the intended separation and it won’t sound as phasey. Keep in mind as soon as you hit the amp block, it takes everything before it and sums it to mono so anything stereo before the amp you won’t benefit from it being stereo. Hope that makes sense! Nice video as always.
Ahhhh that’s a good tip!! Thank you so much!
Transpose is also still monophonic so it works a lot better on single notes or power chords
Ahh is it? It seems to handle chords decently well for being monophonic!
@@JustinMuncy yeah it’s a lot better than you’d expect. Neural mentioned it in passing in one of their videos around launch of 3.0
As always, great review. Thank you for this!! 🥳🥳
Thank you so much!!
was that the riff to Hillsong's "There Is Nothing Like"?
Thanks man. Love the vids! and doggo!
Hi, great sound! Can you explain to me what hardware your quadcortex is connected to?
Thank you!! I just went straight into logic via USB. No in-between interface. Just the QC.
Doubler is meant to be a stereo effect, so going into a mono amp/cab/effect negates that.
Really trying to save up for a freakin QC!
The best part was the first WOWWWWWW when you started messing with quantize 😂 Awesome update and they packed in a lot of cool stuff. Could def see myself messing with transparent blend to bring some more clarity. Was kinda bummed that transpose doesn't seem all that different than the pitch shifter block!
LOL!! I honestly, probably had the most fun playing with the pitch correction- For sure! Do you think one sounds better than the other? I really can't tell which I like more.
@@JustinMuncy I honestly can't tell a difference either! For me even at the front of the chain both have the tiniest bit of latency and some digital warbly-ness especially on more dissonant/complex chords. Part of me wonders if they literally just re-skinned the same algorithm and made it even more simple with just the semitone control 💀
He is having fun
I was!! :)
The pitch correction demonstration was cracking me up 😂😂
@@caseythoren8318 Hahaha! It’s the best part of the update.
The circular delay repeats starting at 00:29 and at 1:32 went from the center to the left, then to the center, then to the right and back to the center! it felt like an actual circle. Not as noticeable when you are playing multiple notes, but still there. Really cool effect indeed.
You said it perfectly! It really does feel like a circle! And definitely, it’s not that noticeable while playing, but it might be if you really crank the mix knob… or leave in more high end on the repeats.
What’s your favorite addition with the new update? Mine might be pitch correction… Kidding. But, maybe not. It is pretty cool.
I really like the transpose and Circular Delay. I have a couple of patches I have replaced the delay with the circular delay because I just love that crazy stereo field it makes. Transpose is cool cuz I do pop punk too and I don’t have to downtune my guitar. I only go 1-2 semitones so artifacts aren’t something super notíciale. Especially with drives.
What synth was you using for that intro?
There might be a pad underneath it, but I'm pretty sure the main drone sound you are hearing is a guitar with delay + Valhalla Shimmer! I can't find the session anywhere to confirm. I did this such a long time ago, I don't fully remember.
@@JustinMuncy 👍
love your swells - and your awesome tennis shoes!
Thank you!!
So Good , so informative
Thank you so much George! I'm glad it was helpful!
Nice
Thank you!!
very well said.
Thank you so much!!
the setting of the pedals are also vital. turn the gain down and volume up on the OD to give the distortion a solid push and fuller sound but i like pedals that really alter the sound so i tend to go heavy
it also depends on the pedals themselves but typically yes fuzz to OD to distortion. so much variation between pedal brands and models but the typical Fuzz into OD into Distortion has most always worked best for me in 30 years of playing
I picked one up a month ago. Wanted all-tube and my little Super Champ cuts out at higher volumes. I love the thing. Big Supro fan now. I mostly play jam band Goose-style music and it pulls it off nicely. Plus it gets dark for some subdued jazz on my semi-hollow.
That tweaking And perfecting process is not specific to the quad cortex by the way. That's anyone chasing "their tone" on a modeler. The biggest feedback specific to the quad cortex in this area, Is it failure to have great tones out of the box. Other modelers have better presets out of the box but still require tweaking to get perfected.
Loved that baby girl Bailey 😢
She was the best!!
I relate
Love this Playa
Thank you!!
i run my fuzzface germanium into my ts9. i find it almost too muffled with the guitar volume cranked. but when i turn it down i love it. its a bit touchy, at around 8-9 is where i find my best tones
Hi mate. Personally I never used them. I don t do swells. If I need volume adjustments I use Boss EQ 200, which allows me to have 2 eqs one pre and one in the fx loop simultaneously :)...I use a Wah though when i m into space rock or doom sheet :)
Hi Justin! I typed my comment while watching the video - but don't know where it went - LOL! Maybe I didn't push the button! I love how the desk turned out. How amazing that the cords can be hidden in the legs and the cable rack thing - really looks fantastic! I like that the keyboard tray pulls out and goes in with the keyboard on it. You did amazing at it - but I think it may be time to buy an electric drill! LOL! So happy that you have a cool studio desk to work on now! LOVE it!
Hi Justin! Yes, OOOh! Oh my goodness - how amazing to get a studio desk from Sweetwater! Love the wood grain - oh - so many parts! Love the shorts! It may be time to get a drill! Glad the next steps where the screws went in more easy. Brackets - that means a slide - yes! Oh the cams good and love Tatum! Wow - the wire organizer - I never even knew they had anything like that! So glad it attached. Cool that it has feet to level - since floors are never level. Cool that you can attach a boom mic! Love the versatility of single or double racks. Oooh - it looks really cool! I am so glad you love it! Love that you can die the power cords and the cable management looks fantastic! Really turned out Fantastic! So happy that you got this upgrade!!!! Amazing!
Its not much of a difference but there is a difference. Id rather have the single thing that does everything than need 2 dozen tbings to do everything tho 🤣
Sick looking desk!! Nice work!
Thanks dude!!
Having a great desk - especially one built for productivity- cannot be underestimated. Awesome video Justin!
You nailed it!! Thank you Ryan!
can i have your old desk?
Please come and take it! It's a 12 finner-
can you turn hellfire into a dark symphonic metal song? oh and don't forget to add a harmonious guitar/organ solo
