Recording notes

From And If Our God Is for Us… (2010). A bright, anthemic worship song with ringing guitars and a big chorus. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2 stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp to a medium-gain crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.

FAQ

Common Questions About the "Our God" Tone

  1. What guitar did Chris Tomlin use on "Our God"?

    The guitar on "Our God" (released 2010) isn't documented; the Fender Player Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Our God" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 4, Bass 5, Mid 5.5, Treble 6, Presence 5, Volume 5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "Our God" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Our God" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
