It would be nice to see a video of you explaining WHY you chose the methods you did regarding the volume block, which reverbs and delays to use, as well as your reasons for using the settings you did, such as how does the A/B split settings you assigned to a footswitch work. I like watching this process of creating new tones, but sometimes I’m completely lost regarding how you know what you know on the Helix and why you made the decisions you did, especially with one such to control 5 different settings. And yes, please add this to the folder. Thanks 🙏
I love The Edge, we take it for granted because like a lot of people have stated it's become a staple for Worship Music / Indie and alternative rock but I love the experimentation that the early 80s bands U2, The Cure, Bauhuas experimented with. Thanks for this John Nathan. As a lapsed Satanist I approve of this tone 😈 in fact some of Ghost BC's more melodic stuff is quite Edge-like
He uses a couple of Boogies off-stage John and a Fernandes sustainer pickup - (maybe it's called a "sustaniac"?) - like the guy from Radiohead has in his signature strat. Also, contrary to popular belief, there's a guy under the stage at U2 gigs who "contributes".
Would really like to see a video on how you'd approach something similar for the Pod GO. I know it wouldn't have dual amps, or parallel paths.. but how would you go about making something similar that would get in the ballpark?
You would need to add vintage coldplay to that as well. They are just big singable songs that most people can learn to play. The dynamics draw people in, the ambience creates the mood, and the melodies are great for crowds of people to sing. That's what churches are looking for.
@@timelmore2 Wehey, an actual pastor! What's so mysterious to me as a European, is that I remember a time in the nineties where all the congregations outside of the state church where still exclusively singing the "nearer my God to thee" repertoire accompanied by anything from harmonium to accordion (or if they where progressive a Yamaha e-Piano of some sort), depending on the size of the congregation. I'm in the Protestant state church and used to visit my aunt's congregation pretty often, but even then it was shocking how very suddenly they'd built a stage, bought freaking drums, guitars, a Vox amp and a big PA; all previously banned by the elders! The youth group where all furiously learning their instruments, and some of them went from novice to master in the span of a year. And even if there where and are open fights between many of these congregations, the musical taste of these young musicians all disproportionately leaned towards whatever The Edge was playing. I just don't understand what was going on, and neither do they when I ask them. They where all into DC Talk, apparently, but the delay fetish definitely wasn't DC Talk
@@umatgeratonleik2584 it did take some time. I would still lead the congregation in nearer my God to thee, but I'd open it with ambient swells using a shimmer verb and it wild peak with some simple high gain lines. Same God, same worship, different music.
When the this song came out on the Joshua Tree album, many regarded U2 as a christian band. Most of the lyrics from the album come from Bono's studies of the bible. That album came out the year I was born but it wasn't until I was a teenager that we started to see the influence creeping in. 15-20 years is usually how long christian culture lags behind mainstream culture.
Hello! I love the backing track that you created for Ain't Nobody by Chaka Khan. I was wondering if I could get your permission to use it in my ABC7 interview. Can I email you?
if you already have a lot of expensive amps you love the kemper might be more your speed. But if you are starting from scratch i think the helix is better. Thats just my opinion.
Great work mate... I use the Head Rush it's more user-friendly.. Or let me say Supa easy... I just can't for an Software/Firmware update that will have the Freeze, polyphonic, Dynamic Hall Reverbs like the Helix has...
@@johnnathancordy Yes please. Maybe some tweaking on the one amp model can make up a little bit for the loss of the other one. It's worth a try. Thanks so much!
I don't use the Mic for videos where I'm sat behind the camera, the camera mic is far better than the lav mic! But for videos where I'm sat in front I'll continue using it!
Bono is not only the most effective, but also the most efficient guitar player in the band. He literally didn't waste any movement or time in producing any note out of that guitar. Didn't even mike it! That's efficiency!
Hi Jonathan im a guitarist and i live in italy but i really love you one day gift me an fractal Unit im a guitarist edge style i play u2 fractal its amazing now ive got a zoom g1 four its my dream fractal thank you i hope it 🎸🎸🎸🌟🌟🌟🌞🌞🌞🎸🎸🎸

This may not be the best Edge guitar tone I’ve heard but it is definitely the best Bono commentary.
The Cordy sense of HUMOR, you Rock!!!!
i cant tell you how many times i have heard this intro jam. I think my favorite solo of yours

Fantastic tone and playing there at the beginning JNC. One of my fave songs of all time. U2 is one off my fave bands
Outstanding tone, J.C. Yes, please drop that preset 🙏🏻 🤘🏼

John’s just sitting there hitting refresh for comments but sorry bucko, it’s just me and the Justice League Unlimited theme again.
One of my favorite songs of all time.
Truth: 100% of all worship music is just variations on 'With or Without You'. I would love to know how that happened

I said that U2 basically helped created tge sound of contemporary christian music on person didnt like my comment. Lol

Is it possible to do something similar on the HX Stomp ?
Dude your awesome player..just a gem of a guitarist
Can we just take a moment to pay respect to the quality of the contemporary worship joke. Internet won.
Very tasty. Nice to use with the arpeggio excercises.
Ciao appena comprata la helix,bravissimo,hai altre pach? Potresti fare elevation?
Please drop it into a folder. Love it!
Me too, John. Please drop the EDGEPRESET into the JC Lead Patches folder. Can't wait to try it.
Hello! I love the backing track that you created for Ain't Nobody by Chaka Khan. I was wondering if I could get your permission to use it in my ABC7 interview. Can I email you?
Don’t forget his serrated, grippy pick!
Great! Very useful for Worship!
Hi beautiful strat, is that off the shelf or a custom ? the color looks great.
👍(do you rate the helix, etc, higher than the Kemper?)🤔
I use the Helix more yeh, I think for this sort of thing having the ability to have dual amps and build the tone from scratch is quite useful?
if you already have a lot of expensive amps you love the kemper might be more your speed. But if you are starting from scratch i think the helix is better. Thats just my opinion.
Great work mate... I use the Head Rush it's more user-friendly.. Or let me say Supa easy... I just can't for an Software/Firmware update that will have the Freeze, polyphonic, Dynamic Hall Reverbs like the Helix has...
@@johnnathancordy thanks 👍
@@J.D.... good point 👍
U2 was my fav in 88-92
what model of guitar
Thoughts on how to achieve this on the HX Stomp?
Hey Stuart! I think I'd probably have to strip it back to one amp model, especially if I wanted to still do the infinite thing - should I try?
@@johnnathancordy Yes please. Maybe some tweaking on the one amp model can make up a little bit for the loss of the other one. It's worth a try. Thanks so much!
@@johnnathancordy yes please do try for an HX stomp version of this - it’s fantastic
Incredible man!!!!
John, drop a with or without you patch into your katana folder please!
If you've ever heard the Christian guitarist Lincoln Brewster, this delay is the key to his sound. He's also been a POD/Line6 user since the POD v1.
Played with the great Steve Perry too.
Great!
Same preset for the Axe 3
😁
Great video as usual ! But what happened with the microphone?
What do you mean?
@@johnnathancordy The microphone for your voice! The one that you attached to your shirt!
I don't use the Mic for videos where I'm sat behind the camera, the camera mic is far better than the lav mic! But for videos where I'm sat in front I'll continue using it!
Wow you have to record with me buddy
Bono is not only the most effective, but also the most efficient guitar player in the band. He literally didn't waste any movement or time in producing any note out of that guitar. Didn't even mike it! That's efficiency!
Please. Set up line 6 m 13
Delays aside, the edge has a great guitar tone IMO.
TOTALLY
@@johnnathancordycan you tell ne how to do this on pod go with the external footswitchs? will it allow for the momentary footswitch option?
@@johnnathancordycan you tell me the settings please and does this work in pod go with the momentary footswitch
Bono invented music
Hey Bach, hold my backpack whilst I pen this down
Bono circa BaRock (sic) period
the edge didn’t invent worship guitar, dave gilmour did :0
Controversial take. I'd say Bono invented Pink Floyd
Hi Jonathan im a guitarist and i live in italy but i really love you one day gift me an fractal Unit im a guitarist edge style i play u2 fractal its amazing now ive got a zoom g1 four its my dream fractal thank you i hope it 🎸🎸🎸🌟🌟🌟🌞🌞🌞🎸🎸🎸
