Your explanation of how the drive versus level makes a difference is really helpful. The idea that drive introduces more of the character of the pedal, whereas level pushes the amp more, really clarifies things for me quite a bit.
Love these kinds of video because they feel applicable to all electric players! I got a DD500 awhile back but only see myself using a few settings when I know the pedal is capable of way more. Have y’all thought of making a video that’s sort of a guide on when to use different types of delays?
This is super helpful. I may have implemented a lot of what you showed on my board-in-progress. Right now I have 2 Boss ODs (SD-1 and OD-3) and an EHX Soul Food going into my HX Stomp. Only pedal with gain remotely close to 12 o’clock is the SD-1. Everything else is at 9 o’clock or lower with the volumes at 2-3 o’clock. Stacked together they sound huge.
Great video. I use a Jackson audio golden boy and control via midi, then have a KOT esque block in the hx stomp and use a snapshot to bump up amp gain. Gives me lots of options.
Love this. Huge fan of Foxpedal. Not sure if they sent you the Kingdom Combo, but I have been scouring the internet for a review/demo of the V2 and am coming up short. Would you be able to make a demo? I had a V1 a long time ago, so it would be awesome to see what new features they've packed in V2.
Can you make a video on how to dial in compressors? Perhaps talk about the contexts for different types or intensities of compression. I notice that your compression settings are quite a bit different than David Hislop's compression settings. Thanks Brian and team!
Brother I just wanted to ask you a question. What model of guitar are you using? I want to buy myself one, but I have no idea what kind of guitar I should get, the water guitar you use in the previous tutorials. Example-> you are a good father. ???
Looks like I'll have to switch around my drives and distortion on my board! I also really wanna give that vixen a try! I'm guessing it's a Timmy-esque pedal? I use a Timmy clone as my always on.
In this video, I assume the compressor is before the drives? What are your thoughts on compressor after them, btw? (It seems like optical comps are also the preferred types to use when it’s after drives…)
Adding a comp after drives will make volume fluctuations from turning them off/on less. And it will reduce dynamics. That might be what you want, or it might not. Just depends. Personally I don’t like a comp on my board after drives, but I often compress the guitar in a mix, which is essentially the same thing. I’d use something subtle. Optical style would be good, but 1176 (FET) would be my go-to.
Question: Are you running the OD & Dist pedals through the effects loop in the HX Stomp or in front of the HX Stomp? I JUST bought a HX Stomp and am planning on using a OCD with it, but was thinking I would just put in front of the Stomp so as not to use a block for the loop. Thanks for videos!!!
It depends on the amp. And how much headroom it has. Typically more gain means louder but every amp reaches a point where more gain just means more saturation without an increase in volume. That’s where it reaches its headroom limit (which is a simplified way to describe it). For sound checking (whether I’m running sound or playing guitar), I always ask for (or give) FOH my loudest tones to set gain at the board.
3:10 It's actually not good to have these settings, guitar wants one kind of compression, quick attack and slower to slow release. There's a reason most compressors were always just two knobs.
It drives me crazy that Christians are targeted... like we have different artistic needs that a secular musicians. This is all marketing. you can spend $5k on your "worship guitars" and "worship pedals" then new guy shows up at church with an Esquier Bullet, one OD and a nice CAB simulator and sounds Fantastic in the mix. Sure it all makes sense in the bedroom, but once you are in with the band, how much do you really need to switch from a klone OD tone to a Screamer OD tone... and so on? I think most guitarrists would get a lot more value from a metronome and more practice time... honestly!
This channel is all about the latest and greatest gear for supposedly P&W but they all sound the same with the same delay and the same reverb. They push and push so many expensive pedals and guitars. It is just simply a front to sell more gear while selling Jesus.
I understand where you coming from but I fundamentally disagree, cause tone is not in the gear or hands but in your ears. Like I’ve played with some amazingly skill guitarists that graduated from music schools with horrendous tones and sound guys would turn down and I’ve seen guitarist with amazing gear who would get lost in the mix for a lack of understanding of where they needed to fit. Which all just shows a lack of mature experience in playing.

Absolutely incredible video! Thank you!
Great video Brian! I need to watch it a few dozen more times! 🤣🎸🔥
Man, every time I hear that big D chord I just want you to start playing Stars 😂😂
The Joyo Tauren is another Klon type pedal that’s less than $50. it’s so worth it! 🔥👌🔥
i a/b'd it with the Archer and i heard zero difference. The Joyo Tai Chi is also spot on
Fun and helpful video as always. I learn something new in each one. "Go forth and stack your overdrives!" Psalms something:something. ;-)
That clean tone has so much dimension and depth. Gritty, clean, warm, bright…all at once.
Thanks! HX Stomp 💪🏻

Can you get me that rundown Jim. lolol! I love the Office references.
How does guitar volume play into gain staging? I still haven’t figured that part out… Great vid as usual guys!
This is my clean tone.. karanggggg

Love the Scorpion's riff.
Great video!!!
Is your compressor before or after your drives?
You always want compressor before drive. Compressor after drive raises the noise floor of the overdrive, making your rig…not quiet
Great video, thank you.
You drew me in with the KOT still shot, and left me hanging with no KOT content. 😭😕
I made it to the 14min mark before I couldn't take being left out any longer and started warming up the lil' tube amp!
Awesome stuff, is the Vixen drive close to a Bluesbreaker style tone?
Thank You for the knowledge
Brother I just wanted to ask you a question. What model of guitar are you using? I want to buy myself one, but I have no idea what kind of guitar I should get, the water guitar you use in the previous tutorials. Example-> you are a good father. ???
Looks like I'll have to switch around my drives and distortion on my board!
I also really wanna give that vixen a try! I'm guessing it's a Timmy-esque pedal? I use a Timmy clone as my always on.
Great tutorial!
how did you know i was waiting for this video today lol

Thanks! The overdrives are going straight in. Only the reverbs are in the effects loop
Can you do all that or help me doing that in the HX STOMP.
When you push your amp harder you get louder right?
So what gain stage are you using for the sound guy to set the gain on the sound table?
Thanks!
It depends on the amp. And how much headroom it has. Typically more gain means louder but every amp reaches a point where more gain just means more saturation without an increase in volume. That’s where it reaches its headroom limit (which is a simplified way to describe it).
For sound checking (whether I’m running sound or playing guitar), I always ask for (or give) FOH my loudest tones to set gain at the board.
can you do a breakdown on how to make swells using various pedals?
Thanks
Typo in your description: "Brian walks" :-D
Random, but what patch cables do you recommend?
I’m using the Creation patch cable kit on this board. They provided them to me, but I really like them. I’ve got them on my main board as well.
Are there any strategy to manage keeping output levels consist (1-5db difference) across clean->big OD tones?
I'd love to get ab answer for this as well, never could get this part right
Just curious if there is a way that we can dial a rat type od to sound like a klon?
That Wrath pedal looks identical to my Aion FX Helios (also rat clone…)
How can you apply this technique to non distorting amps? Like say a GK bass amp?
For perfectly clean amps, you use the gain settings on the pedal mostly and want to set the pedal level (output) to close to unity.
sad you didn't include land or lion JeT pedals
3:10 It's actually not good to have these settings, guitar wants one kind of compression, quick attack and slower to slow release. There's a reason most compressors were always just two knobs.
Visual Sound Double Trouble. If ever there was a pedal built for praise and worship, this is it :)
4:00 There's 100% about a 4-6 dB drop there...
Jesus loves YOU
I just wish I could get your clean tone...lol
Stuck in overdrive
Dail or dial??
Oops - fixed it. Thanks!
@@worshiptutorials not a problem. Great vid so far
It drives me crazy that Christians are targeted... like we have different artistic needs that a secular musicians.

And king of tone ??
Sucks
Ha you think the KOT sucks?
What sucks is misleading the audience with the KOT thumbnail.
