@9:15 ... and there’s the Hillsong electric guitar worship setting that we all know and love
The song I surrender
Was about to sing "You were the word at the beginning.."
"You really need a Bachelor's Degree in Audio Engineering to fully understand this board, but I'll do my best to break it down for you"
Very cool seeing the rig of a sound I grew up listening to. Nigel's one of the unsung heroes of the instrumentation on their records. Great guy with an incredible ear.
He's an awesome example of a very well rounded, and humble guitarist! :)
John Stratton that's the spirit of God in him ;)
Hey bro, funny running into you here too God Bless!
his miserable life
I am just now "discovering" Nigel and his work,,,and I am so impressed and completely blown away! LOVE this guy!!!
Beautiful work Nigel, it takes so much time, dedication and sacrifice to keep honing your sound, God Bless man! much respect
Very intelligent, engaging and humble dude. I appreciate you guys featuring him.
and.... my gear-want list grows again! This is awesome, of course so is Nigel!
I've been eyeing that synth engine for a while. Love the sound!
I love the sounds. I'm definitely doing this... Thanks Nigel...
Awesome tip with the Timeline. Will try that. Also, his ambient setting sounds huge.
Wish more guitarists used stereo setups. It's a pain in the butt carrying 2 amps and setting everything up, but it sounds so stinking good! That's when those fancy stereo delay/reverb pedals really shine!
JC 40 ;)
That one's on my wishlist. Love the Jazz Chorus amps.
I did stereo for a short time last year. Only a handful of gigs. It was a real pain carrying all that gear. But after I didn’t do it anymore I’ve really missed it.
wet dry is where it is at, friend
@@forrallofusplenty4342 Absolutely. Superior to stereo imo and lacks the problems that piss off the soundperson running the board. It's better for FOH and the audience and can sound "more stereo than stereo" if done well. It's like a "meta-effect"
Atm, I have Chorus/Rotary/Vibrato(it's a Source Audio Gemini pedal, can be set up for any of those and more), Opto/Bias/Harmonic Trem (more Source Audio, the Vertigo), a Nemesis Delay, and my Reverb running to the wet amp post-split. It's not a pure wet/dry rig as I do have a flanger pre-gain and another delay going to the dry amp. 1/4 notes + dotted 8ths or triplets for each amp, respectively - it's phenomenal. Delay times set to the Brian May "Brighton Rock" values can be amazing.
But mostly it's one delay, and that dry amp means I never get lost in the mix if I wanna crank the wet FX.
Can't say enough good things about W/D.
Wet/Dry/Wet - now that is something I wanna try as well!
I love the way Nige present his gear! hilarious 😂
Such an under rated guitarist.... had no idea of what all his skills on a guitar were! Been doing worship music for a long time as a pro.. And this explains ALOT of how he gets those beautiful sounds!
9:30 I wish I had this sound!!!!!!!!!!!! The sound of happy dreams!
He explains them all in the video.
The Superego pedal is such a powerful musical tool. Had one for a couple years. Then I got the Super Ego +. And I love it. - Cool board Nigel! I really like the side chain (parallel) processing feature of your crazy cool switcher. Parallel processing is the real deal for solid tone.
That reverse delay from the DD-5 is incredible! I've never gotten a usable reverse delay out of mine.
Must be Jebus, doing more magic through it ...
9:16 OMG the sound of heaven
Thanks for doing this Reverb, and I agree that the title is a bit misleading. Still an interesting video. Nigel is clearly a talented and creative player/musician, which I hadn't realized before. Was interesting to see how he stacks his pedals for his tones - and loves to have the Fuzz even though he doesn't get to use it on Hillsong songs! I imagine a way could be found...
And I immediately recognized the great work of the Goodwood boys on his board!!!
Thats bloody amazing and it sounds gorgeous
What no metal zone... plz Explain
Best comment
omg no
hahahahaha! Cleaver comment!
nah was expecting a Korg Miku
haha imagine that! ^^
I had the pleasure of loading in hillsong's gear a few years back, and they let me lay our Nigel's rig. It was quite the experience being a gear head and honestly I worshipped the guy.
loading in gear, a pleasure? !!!!
Ben Brunskill haha I enjoyed it
Which god? The one you happened to be taught to believe in?
I do really like the design and color of this guitar, I wish Fender will make this on their production.
When you hear part of a riff to one of your favorite worship song.
Great tones.
Nige! Love this dude.
Caleb Mills yeah this cat needs to come out more. He has an awesome tone.
This my best guitarist ,he is very series with what He do!
Just love the distortion tones 😁
Thanks brother, kewl set up!! going to try some of these pedals
such an inspiring pedalboard
man for how expensive and boutique almost all that stuff is, what a bright sound! Soooooo b-r-i-g-h-t. Can't say I latched on to anything but the verb/delay/synth stuff. That was gorgeous. What a player, too. Geez
nice Drives thanks Nigel for sharing your gear
His my favorite guitarist
Ah-hahahahhaaaa XD
He's
Title: Stereo Rig.....
Me: Listens in mono...
You have an amazing talent bro
best person in the domain why knows how to play to/in/for the song. Domain = the world.
I just bough the Super Ego Synth and Delay V. 2 from Earthquaker Devices and I can't wait until they get here. I was going to buy the Big Sky instead of the EQ Delay. My next buy will be a drive, the Big Sky for sure, a compressor and a pedalboard. What kind of pedalboards are good? I ended up downloading Reverb app and well I love it, thats where I'am buying my gear haha
Thanks Nigel and Reverb for uploading this, it helps us worship leaders/group members firgure out what to use and make the song, our own version. I personally don't like copying what people use, because we aren't being unique. But we have to start somewere right? Thanks again, Cheers!
Nice board! I just picked up a Dunlop DVP1XL and I love it so far.
Nathan Shafer I was looking into those a while back. How is it compared to an Ernie ball. My Ernie ball takes up like 2/3rds of the weight of my entire rig 😂 they're so heavy.
Hey Kevin! It is actually a lot bigger than the Ernie Ball, which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. I know a lot of people are going to smaller volume pedals but I actually like having a nice big footprint for now.
I wish you guys did a Gear Video with Bobby Strand from Bethel Music too.
Who?
@@danielcervantes3905 And THAT'S the problem
@@carlostorres1171 lol
@@danielcervantes3905 he's one of the producers/guitarists/music director? i think im not sure at bethel church
That clean tone!!! Damn!
9:30 is SO good. Love that he doesn't lose his pick attack in the ambiance. A bit surprised that he's not running an analog delay, tbh. :)
I need to know how he did that. *NEED TO KNOW.*
If you watch other rigrundowns of his gear he actually uses the analog delay from boss
Giving your reverb a longer pre delay will allow the attack to come first then the reverb to come in a few ms after.
Legend!
i think this is the 100th time I'm watching this, i almost memorize this already
A board to gweesh over. Nice!!! Nigel, if you're listening to these comments; try a BOSS DF-2, amazing effect when you stomp and hold, i think you'll love it. Also the FB-2 similar but without the distortion but also useful/expressive i find.
9:15 I really love it!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU MAN
I wish I could setup this reverse delay in my DD 20... really nice sound!
Nigel is, as always, an absolute legend. Love how he uses the Timeline (with the Mod Depth and Speed to enhance the stereo image) and I'm fairly positive his expression pedal is connected to the Repeats but can someone confirm?
Awesome 👏
Has Nigel considered making a podcast about crafting tone?
Nigel, blessed with great skills
He has loads of time to practice ... ...
This guy is cool ,His is my favorite Guitarist , I love so much same cornestone song with his sound Guitar
I love Nigel! :)
amazing Suhr Alt T Pro
Droff always knows best.
Smashing
OMG! This Pedalboard its Awesome!!!! I need all the Pedals! , Nice Tutorial , its much expensive but i try no posses all , Tasty Song´s!
Dude! You have killer guitar licks...
i love all about feel that buddy play :D
I can do all that with a BOSS Metal Zone and RV5!
:-P
I kid I kid.....I do think however, that Nigel would be one amazing person to jam with and have some inspiring sessions!
Hey Nigel! I living in Ireland and im involveld in worship here.
Any chance of you Sharing some strymon time line Presets you created?
God Bless
Ish
Anyone have an idea which interval he uses on the ice setting on his Timeline for the ambient tone in the video?
Love 'Droff and Hillsong :)
Great video of a Great and inspiring player but, does anyone know which powersupply he uses?
Wicked sound 9:14 I could swim on it all day long!
Everybody lately is using the same pedals...which makes them sound sooo similar😕...of course it sounds amazing
strymon strymon strymon
They are so great. I love the timeline and the big sky is just angelic...but as you said...they all have them
But at least they create great music :-P
Agus G.T. Information overload, less happy accidents. People have too much available at their disposal so are making a lot of vicarious choices opposed to making what they can work which = creativity and unique choices
Except me....guitar/tuner/amp lol. No help at all. When I started out on it, I'm like fuck! I can't play as well as I thought. It took about a month to get really clean on it, and I've been playing for over twenty years.
i agree a lot of pedalboards (especially in the Church band type boards) tend to have the same type pedals. But this is supposed to be a "professional board" so i interpret this as someone who is a session musician for hire, who needs a general range to cover the sounds needed by most situations. My board definitely would not look like this pedal wise. I'm more interested in the aspect of making it efficient technical wise rather than sound wise.
ICONIC FIGURE!
Is he using a 2 to 1 quarter inch cable from the stereo outs of the strymon at the beginning to the mono input of the compressor? And if so, does this maintain the stereoness (if that's a word) of the strymon without alteration. i only ask because ive been told that if you have mono-only and stereo-capable pedals, the latter always have to be at the end of the chain. this seemed crazy to me but is it true?
Question. Is Nigel playing on the top boost channel or on the clean channel?
Lol I love these 90's law and order licks
Lol 😂
Love
Nigel Hendroff totalmente es un crack
Nigel your a god my friend !
I like so much
love his ambient tones. IMO all he needs is a noise gate + make some of his tones darker and he’d have a perfect sound.
Do you know how he runs the superego in his signal chain?
In this video use prism first but now i see in jackson audio video use first compresor(bloom)
What a rig! Drool-worthy.
Wicked. 🤘
Smart Guys!
Could anyone explain me the trick with the expression pedal in minute 7?
I don't understand it theorically but also I'm trying it in my boss dd500 and don't know how to set it..
Gracias 👍🎧🎸👍🇭🇳🇭🇳
You ‘re play suhr awesome ...guy
I recently got a MicroPog after seeing it on so many worship boards but am seriously having a hard time finding uses for it. It sounds so out of place in worship to me..maybe I have the setting wrong but I tend to use it for leads but it makes the lead sound less clean and glassy and more nasally. I even have it set pretty low and when I try playing leads it tends to always sound better off. Thinking of getting rid of it
All I can do is salivate with the rig 🤣😂
This solo 8:20 to 8:51, is it some of the songs you play at Hillsong?
What guitar strap is he using? Looks awesome!
What is the settings for that big sky shimmer sound? Thanks!
This guy is a Big musician.
Anyone knows what pedalboard he is using? He used to use Timon Klein's. But this board seems bigger. Any idea, anyone?
how to connect cable with effect and mastermind pbc. thanks
The only thing I didn't care for was the Cusak Scuzz Fuzz @ 5:10 That was not pleasant at all. Maybe it was how it was set but it was not a good tone. All the others were the best to be had, and his playing is so clean and precise. Another up and comer to keep eyes on. Damn, there are so many!
Nigel's been around for a bit. Very accomplished, actually
Dimebag Dio Kilmister he's the music director of hillsong.
7:46 what's the title of the song?
Price tag for everything he's using... $10,386.95
Not even. less than a couple grand easily. for everything including board and cables.
Either way, taxpayers are probably footing at least part of the bill (Hillsong) ... *eyeroll* ...
Kieren Moore lol taxpayers? How?
The musicians purchase there own gear man. Take it easy. Also they don't get paid big bucks even when they tour because its part of there job description.
spicecrop Whatever not even close. His guitar alone is over 2k.
🐐
I am convinced that bloke has extra joints in his fretting hand!
Well, I share at least one pedal with Nigel: the EHX Superego (which I think I use more, the more I find it's capable of) 😎
lol the huming noise is insane!! Even when the sound is produced :O. Good tone though.
Love droff
does anyone know what he's playing while demonstrating the BigSky?
can you call it greedy (preamp) i like natural sounded of the wood and the string
Isn't that guitar a Suhr Alt T Pro???
