For one of our worship songs. it's mostly 2 or 3 string intervals played around the octave. Strong pick attack. Fairly staccato. Needs to really command the mix. There are some higher-position power chords in there too, but the intervals are the main part.
Any recommendations for amps or other ways to achieve such a tone?. Sorry, i have no exammples. Song is In Jesus' Name by Hillsongs. It's pretty driving, in the rock vein. I'm up against two (sometimes three) keyboards, an acoustic guitar, and 4 to 6 backup singers. Playing a Strat with DiMarzio Area/VV and a Suhr Thornucker in the bridge. I'm using the Suhr all the way through, tone up full. Excellent sound system and band. Everything runs direct - no cabs used on stage.
Right now I've fallen back to the Budda (Buttery) model, which is the most strident amp I've ID'd thus far. Delays are shut off, reverb well down. One Scene uses a TS808Mod, but this rhythm tone is amp drive only. Mids are cranked. What I have sounds pretty good, but I'm thinking I can do better with your help. I was using the Shiva at practice and the WL (acoustic guitarist as well) felt my tone needed tweaking to be effective. We've done the song for years, but we are always refining things as time goes on.
Thanks!
Greg
