  • Do you use the same thing with Shane & Shane too? The guitar tone on the live hymns album is amazing and I'm trying to nail that.

  • Ok, I just stumbled across this and have to ask: what is the effects chain you're using for "Ancient of Days"!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUp02T4gvm0 – I love the tone and effects you used for that recording! I'm guessing Big Sky (Cloud or Bloom?) is a huge part and maybe with a bit of El Capitan? Actually, I think you may go over it around 28:26?

  • I love the Gretch! It has become too much to haul tube amps around, just too heavy. I love them but can't do it anymore (or afford it). You get a very good blend in the S&S music. Very nice.

  • So I just watched you play at the Linger conference 2020. I was really curious to see your board and loved watching you and hearing you play! You’re definitely inspiring!

  • How come your pedalboard is so quite? Could you share some tips for making that pedalboard with almost no noise/hiss?

  • Nice video Adam. Hey , ages ago you did a guitar tutorial of Jesus Loves Me by Chris Tomlin. Is that video still on or have you removed it?

  • Adam, this was a really helpful video, and gave me a bunch of new things to try, especially on pickup selection and tone knob use during volume swells and ambient sounds to avoid stepping on the keyboard pads. Thank you! The Kemper seems like an amazing tool, and one that would be useful for me live and in the studio. There's a lot of opinions on getting the Kemper powered or unpowered, and running it into a standard cab or into a FRFR cab. What have you found works best for your live sound, and do you just run the Kemper direct for recording?

  • Wow great video God bless you
    Can you please do a tutorial on the dual delay the dotted 8 and 8th note how you set it up

  • Well done sir. I also play through an ef86 matchless! Matchless Cobra. It was interesting to see your drive section. These are tricky amps to drive due to the already present mids. I am finding that I am using variations of boost to drive my amp. The only over drive I use is the T1M touch drive (pearl). With a boost before and after. I also use the supatrem. I find the preamp on that pedal to be very usable to thicken up my tone and can be used independent of the actual trem.

  • Very informative. Thank you. I was wondering why your delays are primarily 8th notes and not any quarter notes?

  • When did worship guitar get so expensive. When I started 30 years ago it was 12 string acoustic or maybe a basic amp and guitar set up. Even now I would never be able to afford anything like this.
