From Living Hope (2018). Living Hope is the seventh commercial studio album by Phil Wickham, released on August 3, 2018, by Fair Trade Services. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Morgan AC20 Deluxe, the rig we use for Phil Wickham's other songs from Living Hope, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.

The guitar on "Great Things" (released 2018) isn't documented; the Fender Player Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).

Settings for this sound: Gain 2.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, 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.
Can I play "Great Things" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Great Things" 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.
