ftuller

I use the tube comp with thresh at 100 and level between 12-17 as a boost. My base chain order is volume pedal, tube comp, tube screamer, digital delay, amp.

I loaded several patches the other day that are used for a lot of Hillsong but are also used for Jesus Culture and Bethel. For example, I use the patch named Crunch for the Bethel version of One Thing Remains. If you go into customtone and search ftuller the patches should come up. They might work for you or at least give you a few ideas for your own patches. I play an SG but you might be able tweak the patches to fit your Tele.<br /><br />To answer your question on amps and effects for Jesus Culture/Bethel tone, amps would be AC-15, AC-30, or the Fender amp models, and the foundation for the effects would be a tube screamer, dotted 8th delay, and reverb. In addition, you could try chorus and the auto volume delay for swells. If you google "Jeffrey Kunde gear" you'll find his page where he goes through all his gear, which might be helpful.

For your gigs this week I'd suggest going direct to the sound board. Use studio/direct, set line/amp to line, and use one of the left/right mono jacks to go to the sound board. Ask your sound guy to give you flat eq settings on the sound board or turn off your eq on the board. Then it would be up to you to tweak the pod amp and effects to get the tone you want. By doing this you simplify the variables regarding your tone and also you are then in charge of your own tone.
