Recording notes

From There Is More (2018). A mid-tempo worship anthem with chiming rhythm guitar and a driving chorus. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2 stands in. Use the neck pickup and set the amp to a medium-gain crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.

  1. What guitar did Hillsong Worship use on "Who You Say I Am"?

    The guitar on "Who You Say I Am" (released 2018) isn't documented; the Fender Player Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Who You Say I Am" 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.
