Our church is needing an electric guitar for the worship service. I’m intersted in providing this for them and I really like the U2 sound (Delay) with the songs. Could you expand a little more on how you use this? I’ve visited the U2 delay website but I still have trouble getting the timing set up right. Do you have any samples of you using this or any suggestions?
Thanks for your help -
easiest way to dial up the timing is with a pedal that lets you tap it to get the right timing. I use the Line 6 POD Live setup which lets you do that. a great example in worship sound using this is with hillsong united or Steve Fee..
I would play with elongated delays and concentrate on less picking. Also palm muting really adds to the percusive sound of it.
thanks for stopping by shannon -
for “introduction/time has come” on the hillsong united you can get the guitar sound by setting delay to 308 milliseconds and playing the melody in eight notes. a 350 millisecond delay works for something like ” I am Free” from newsboys or new life worship band
