Yessir!! Saw David’s board from the pit in RVA a week ago, and I leaned over to my lady and said look how massive that thing is! 😂😂 I was like see…. mine isn’t big… (and yall sounded fire!! Btw) I was getting “yeah it sounds amazing, but you still don’t need to add to yours” vibes 😂
Do you have any content on early stuff like how you got started playing, gear you started with, how you practiced. I'm just curious about how you got to where you are today.
We just released our Tone Course www.tonefactor.co/thetonecourse in which we teach everything relating to tone, but I don't have any videos noting how I get started or a walkthrough of my journey. Maybe I should do a youtube video on that...
Caught y’all on Friday in Richmond and it sounded incredible 🔥 definitely gonna need an update to the Helix patch soon! I’ve already swapped most of my IRs to the XR Benson and DC30 and it’s been incredible.
Awesome video as always, David! Hope you can dive deeper on your strat and how you manage to play live. Im also using a strat and cant manage to use the 1-3-5 pickup positions as the hum makes it unplayable esp when using a heavier drive.
Well,are you giving your best offer to God? Think about that. It’s not about impressing people,it’s about giving your best to the one who gave it all. Forget about the others. 🙌🏼
Love your tone. Great stuff. $339 per course is a tough pill to swallow. Even the 15% discount makes it way out of my price range. Hoping it goes well for you.
Thanks! and thanks for the feedback - I know the courses aren't the typical $97 price point of a lot of average stuff that is on the internet, but the content is definitely a premium product and we are super invested in it and proud of it. There are 30 hours of teaching and instruction, so when you do the math vs getting hour long lessons with any random teacher, it's actually an extremely reasonable price (and you get two instructors) - but again, I understand where you are coming from and appreciate the feedback!
@@DavidHislop I understand. You are paying for expertise for sure. The main difference with a random teacher is that it’s one on one time. That teacher would be working specifically with you to help shape your tone. I certainly think there’s a ton of valuable information that you share. I appreciate the time and effort you guys put in! For a Dad of four who just plays at church on Sundays, it may be a little over my head anyways. Lolol. Seriously great work though. Loved the pedalboard breakdown and I’ll watch everything you put out on here! Best of luck brother.
I love David Hislop’s content! I really wanna buy the tone course, I think there’s a lot of good content and hard work to do it. but is too hard for me to pay all that price (I’m not from USA and I live in an underdeveloped country). Even a single course and 15% off is too much expensive for me living in a country where the dollar is worth six times my currency (and to compare, normal people in my country have a minimum wage of approximately 400 dollars).
In keeping my goal of a smaller pedalboard. I use the Retro Reel effect for that slight modulated fatter tone. By increasing the wow/flutter setting you get that nice modulated tone. I leave it on almost all the time.
Hey David, thanks for the great video! I’m curious about the amps you use-I've noticed that many guitarists are turning to TONEX these days. What’s your take on TONEX amps, and do you have any plans to incorporate them into your setup?
Finally, I’ve been leaving comments on each and every video last 3 years to keep posting educational stuff) Maybe you also want to do in the future video of songs you play with Brandon L, or songs you played/ing at church not just album songs you did, but covers of songs how you would play or played at Bethel for example in your unique style Please please please 🙏 ❤❤❤❤
Love your board, definitely an inspiration for me. I have a decent sized board, but I love yours. I love that you’re playing a Strat, a Strat MIM has been my home for a while, I’ve had other guitars but the Strat just feels right.
@@DeloreanDave another storm with the gain cranked up would probably be the closest result. They sound similar but the tower has more gain on tap and a little more texture
So i bought the DMC 4 v2… how do you get it to switch between batches? I can literally only get it to run through every channel but i love the way you did a batch
That's for the bundle (30 hours of content). Our individual Tone Courses (Pedalboard & Effects - Guitars, Pickups, & Hardware - Amps & Core Tone) are priced lower and about the cost of buying a pedal and all feature 8-14 hours of instruction. That's cheap vs the cost of paying for hourly lessons with a random teacher. The courses might not be for everyone, but well worth it for those that want further insight and understanding into how we do things. It's content I wish I had when I was starting out playing or even starting my journey to be a full time player. Those are the people we made it for.
@@Rubenvalente20 because most online lessons go for WAY less. Not to mention the free courses on RUclips or just having a real life mentor. There’s no secret trick to getting good tone or getting good at guitar. It’s ridiculous to think that “you don’t know something is expensive”. Please just read your comment again.
Legend appreciate it! Found it hard to tell what drives are on for u main go to single note lead tone? Is it kilt stacked with daily driver? Is daily driver an always on? @DavidHislop
The daily is pretty much an always on for me with this set up. The Daily Stacked with the Solodallas tower is my lead tone - if I need another flavor then I will do just the Kilt (no daily).
@@Jerebear519 still have my V1 and prefer it - but just kicked it off to fit the other pedals. I only use the kilt maybe like 5% of the time with this set up.
@@Jerebear519 No not like the daily... I'd say it's closer to like a KOT as in its a more midrage focused drive. We use one in our "How to dial in drive pedals" session of our tone course.
Hey David! What is the best way to dial in drives for worship? i use the tonex with a KOT capture. Would the Tone Course cover anything like that at all?
Yes! We deep dive into how to dial in every aspect of your tone when it comes to pedals, amps, and guitars - we have a session specifically on how to dial in drive pedals. Check it out: www.tonefactor.co/thetonecourse
I still have my veritas guitars and love'em! They aren't going anywhere - I have just been changing things up the past year or two and going for different tones.
Yes, I am absolutely a believer and my faith in Jesus is everything. I moved from CA to Nashville this year so that is why you don't see me playing on the stream anymore, but I did for about 10 years. Check out some bethel set videos on my page I have uploaded.
@@DavidHislop good to know. May god be praised. Be blessed my brother and as always than you for everything you do for us worship leaders in the field. We would be lost without men and women like you.
Good question… I don’t think I’d have the gigs I have if I couldn’t play. It’s a course focused on tone - which does involve playing good and we talk about certain aspects of that but not theory. Tone is definitely in the hands, but it’s also in gear and how you set it up.
@@Jayyy_Wav Whatever. I don’t know what ‘CCM’ is supposed to mean, and I have no interest in watching more of their videos. I’m just making the point that if you’re trying to sell something guitar related, you need to show can play, so that people would actually want to learn from you. Not in other videos, not so that people have to go looking for it - right there in this video where you’re trying to sell something. I have no idea who these guys are or what they can do and it’s down them to demonstrate that if they expect to sell anything. What’s it like having your life dedicated to being a fanboy, jumping in to defend your crush when nobody’s talking to you, and spouting sarcastic rubbish? Bud.

Cool stuff! But i think there’s some digital clipping especially in the drive sections?
loved the video! there does seem to be a strange digital sound at 20:53. does the daily driver always do this?
The Digitech Drop is the easiest thing I never thought of 🤦♂️…. amazing tip!!

Hey mate, any suggestions on a overdrive replacement for the Tower? To stack with DD for third stage?
@@DeloreanDave another storm with the gain cranked up would probably be the closest result. They sound similar but the tower has more gain on tap and a little more texture
@ two storms? Ha! one storm before then one after with gain cranked?
Have you ever tried the radial dragster when you run wireless for loading the pickups?
Most people would assume you would use a Mastermind pbc midi looper. Cool to see a simple looper and separate midi switcher
I have enjoyed this simple setup, but the RJM stuff does kick butt!

How does the strat sound like a tele lol?
