Saint Pope, just catching up with Bethel Music Thank You for doing this Video A lot has changed in 55 Years`s a lot more Freedom or openness to Holy Spirit. All-Father God's Best for you and your Family. also to Custom Veritas Portlander Guitar`s
Thanks WOrship Guitar Magazine. for the Transcripts. Top OF Video`s 5*
Awesome! Good job guys
Thanks man! Blessings to you!
Timon Klein from Hillsong actually uses a Fender Strat Plus with the lace sensors in them! It was originally blue but he painted the guitar and the pick guard black.. not sure if maybe that’s who you were thinking of. Inspired me to buy a 1987 Strat Plus.. it’s awesome!
Haha. Thanks for the confirmation. I was watching a video a few weeks ago of United and saw that it was Timon Klein and not Dylan and also that he was using Lace pickups as well. Both are sweet guitars nonetheless.
8:59 cease and disist order from Gibson is what that looks like. I mean its an exact copy of a goldtop.
What he says about the smaller the POG gets the worse they are is absolutely true! “Worse” may be a wrong word to use but you don’t get the same tonal abilities out of the micro and nano POG vs the POG 2. It’s exactly why I use the POG 2 instead of downsizing to the smaller versions.
Is the micro pog OK?
Plays owner of the lonely hearts!!!👏👏👏
Lol “Built like tanks!”
“Yeah... I’ve blown up two already!”
Andrew Carr that’s why I stopped playing mine haha
This is a great gear rundown, I loved it! You should do the same with Dylan Thomas or Michael Guy Chislet from Hillsong United, those tones are beautiful. Great job guys, I'm subscribed and waiting for a new video :)
Thanks for the positive words. We are working on a few more. It takes a while to get the rig rundowns scheduled out and then shot and edited because of hectic tour schedules. We have a bunch of gear demos and other goodies in the mix coming up as well. Thanks for subscribing. We look forward to chatting more in the future!
+Worship Guitar Magazine i use a rig like this but how do the bethel guys get the volume they want when running the amps backstage.
"Yeahhhh and they're built like a tank too!!"
"I've blown up two now believe it or not"
hahahah
jose rodriguez I know. Took me off guard. Playing them in the store they have some weight and feel like they are built solid. The crazier thing to me is that he doesn't blow is AC30s up. Those almost always have problems. Different strokes I guess.
If he ever puts that gold top up for sale... I swear I will buy it.
Yeah no kidding! It was pretty amazing. Neck was a little big on it (How Michael likes them). It literally was the heaviest guitar I have ever held. Had to be 14 or 15 lbs. It was by far the best sounding guitar he played during the worship set though. It sat so well in the mix and the sustain was incredible! Thanks for checking out the video man!
Good video! Keep it up!
Thanks so much! Make sure to subscribe to our channel as we will be doing more of these in the coming months!
Awesome! Please interview more worship musicians about their gear! I would be interested especially in the United boys! :)
Yeah Man i spent $450 for a tape setting lolGreat rig man!
Gibsons don't have scarf joints at the headstock. They break because of the angle and the truss rod hole weakens them.
Nice video, it would be nice to see the pedal board during future videos rather than the two guys standing above it.
I came here just to see the board, too. Blah. Wasted 20 minutes of my life...
Yeah
Thanks for the vid.. That thud though at 12:44 though. Just another battle scar.
Where was this recorded at? I have helped set up there show before and they are amazing.
CoverMe - this was recorded at the Wexler Performing Arts Center at Ohio State University.
“They are built like a tank”
“I’ve blown up two now”
🤔
What's the title of the intro song?
Is it me or is there a delay from when he plays, to when u actually hear it through the speaker
Ajay with the amps off stage your hearing the guitar coming through the front of house or on stage monitors. Also with the camera mic I’m sure it makes that small delay more obvious than is really is.
So, is he just running his pedal board right into the front of both of those amps? Or is he running time based effects in the effects loops of those amps? Assuming the have effects loops. I am trying to figure out if I need to have effects loops on my amps or just keep running everything straight into the amp? Which mean that I am only getting distortion from a pedal.
He is running everything into the front of both amps. Rarely do we see guys running effects loops.
The only time you would need to use an effects loop is if you are using a high gain amp. If you are using a lot of gain from the amp, you would put your time based “wet” effects in the loop so they sound okay and the gain doesn’t distort them. But when you are using a mostly clean amp, it would be fine and almost preferred to run everything into the front of the amp. If you aren’t playing rock or metal or something, it should be fine to run everything into the front
Are Michael using DI boxes for His Amp Mics?
Where can i get it?
Benjamin Castillo Those are called Radial SGI, they‘re not for mics. They extend instrument signals so they go further.
@@yihoonshin176 oh wow, interesting, thank you bro!
@@benjamincastillo906 Happy to help! :) I'm not a pro yet but that's one thing I know for sure!
What's the brand on the first semi hollow guitar ?
Veritas
Any idea specifically what songs the strat is used for?
Stephen Manley - for that specific concert he used it for the Jonathan and Melissa Helser songs. For all the Bethel songs he used the Gold top and white 503 Veritas guitars. He said he uses his Green Veritas too but the other guitarist was using that for this show.
Someone saw his settings on the Ac30? I cant figure it out! Thanks for help.
Just pause it...
LANo its blurred
Use your ears.
Using ears is very good practice....
But to help a brother out...
2nd Brilliant Input (seems all the others are covered up..good lol!)
Volume at 9 O' clock
Treble at 9 O' Clock
Bass at about 1:30/2 O' Clock
Tone Cut 2 O' Clock (2:10 if you are super accurate)
That's what I see from the video anyway. (@14:58)
What mic was he using on the amps?
They are using Shure 545sd's.
Anyone know what he was using to power his board?
@SuperNachochannel - He is using two Strymon Ojai power supplies that sit right underneath the cross bar on the Temple board. He has an IEC splitter that goes out to a power strip on the stage to power the two power supplies.
22:03 Owner of a Lonely Heart
What speakers are in his amps?
Jmac J
“Umm” brand speakers
The ones that make noise
Celestions I think
I'm curious what supro amp is that?
Russell Routh - it is a Superbolt Royal Reverb 2x10 combo
First comment! awesome video
Thanks Joel! We had a blast shooting it. Michael is a great dude with some awesome gear!
Gibson's don't use scarf joints fwiw
"Yeah, nothing crazy..." Just four amps...
It's quite simple math actually. 2 guitar players each running stereo with 2 amps. 2x2 = 4
Good stuff...errm...yeah...really good...errm 😄
Just kidding...thank you guys! Love it....errrm
Dude, imagine if that guy wants this veritas, "hey dude, Pope traveled with this for a couple of months, hope its cool and what not"
Luke Johnson - the guy who originally ordered this backed out on the order which was why pope took it out on tour and is eventually buying it. No specific customer was waiting for this.
Dude he second I knew Pope took it out I would be like "hey uhhhh can still buy this."
Yeah man me too!
what is the yellow thing on top of the two amps?
They are called SGI Boxes by Radial Engineering. Basically they convert your signal from your pedal board from 1/4" unbalanced to XLR which can be run over 300 feet without signal loss. The signal is then converted back to 1/4" going into the amp. So you have 1 foot or so of 1/4" cable instead of hundreds of feet.
There are two boxes. One at the pedalboard which converts to XLR then another one on top of the amp, which you are seeing, that converts it back to 1/4".
Great info and useful tips. Thanks
Glad we were able to help out. The SGI boxes are fantastic. I use them on Sunday morning at our church. Anything over about 20 feet of 1/4" cable run you start to see some tonal loss on the high end and it just get's worse as the cable get's longer. Kind of like a small hose that is super long compared to a small hose that is 1' long.
Not to mention that long patch cables are like radio antennas and pick up all sorts of interference adding bad noise the signal.
"call me crazy butt". I love taking things out of context.
Are you gay
@@youparkedinmysafe-space1476 excellent question. I'll be sure to ask your mom tonight.
This is my FLY Rig with like 20 pedals most players don't even use? OMG!!!!
You use what you need to use. Depends on the gig not just worship stuff. I thing quite often certain guitar players are jealous of other players because of what gear they have/use and it isn't nice to do that. If your a Christian you should not judge others.
joe threlfall
Not at all jealous and not at all judging my friend. A fly rig should probably contain 3 or 5 of your most important / most used pedals so it is relatively light weight and compact for ease of travel.
@@jwhitty14 ok. I use a large board and I have no problems with carrying it around. Go with what works for you if say 😊
The guy's carrying 4 tube amps around, I don't believe a case of pedals is the worst to carry lol
A little bit of editing could go a long way! At least 20 mins too long. Thank you for doing this video though
Fell asleep Multiple times
Can you make that intro any longer?
I was hoping someone would ask about those 70's Bigsbys. They have a unique very cool look and he's got a couple of them.
I bet he could.
The delay, it just delays things.😂
Why the amp is out of the stage?
Amps usually sound better the louder they get - so he can crank it up back there and you won't have a ridiculous amount of stage noise. - and then the sound engineers can eq it however the need.
He explained it. The vocal mics pick up too much.
Brenda Felix it helps with stage volume, you normally don’t want too much stage volume
@@joshuahelmreich9966 yup 😊
It’s also said to reduce the possibility of feedback for acoustic and hollow body guitars when the amps are not directly on stage.
Why did he got fired from bethel?
so if I lay on Jimi' s grave can I soke up his guitar-playing anointing?
ignorant
Wow what a funny comment. You're so clever.
Hahahahahaha!!!!
Trial and Error. Man, .... smh
Rig Rundown is kinda Premier Guitar’s thing. Maybe come up with a more original name? Just so it sets you apart??
I see that the title of the video is actually different. So. There you go.
It literally is a rig rundown though 🤷♂️😂
Why do all these guitarist just rip - the edge ! Nothing original here !!!!!
6:20.................this guy is arrogant ..............you are being deceived by him. Lots of mention of friends and purchases and nothing of Christ and blessings or service......wow. I have to leave and never watch this channel because I came in hopes of finding people of Christ but....... deception.
Does these false Christians think they are rockstars now?? LOL
Who are u to Judge my guy
Are Christians not allowed to enjoy Music that God created? Music started with God it's his.
@@mrmikeyflash3195 are you really going to say god created this stuff?
Self Righteousness stinks...
@@georgemavimbela it stinks because righteous is a gift only given from God. Self or ego is closely associated with Satanism. Any honest Satanist ,the real ones, will happily agree. Self righteous is more accurately stated as satanic righteousness. Christianity is ego death actually.
