I’ve been trying to get information like this!! I couldn’t figure how to get that bigger wet effect for a year now, but not anymore!! Keep doing what your doing 🎸🤘
I prefer wet after, especially reverb. Sometimes delay first. And in church stereo is good, but if there are a bunch of instruments, mono is also a good choice.
Yeah wet effects before or after depends. If you have a modeler you can test it way more easily. If you dont have a modeler and only have one amp then you are losing your stereo output so after becomes a must if you want to preserve those effects. I use both. For my strat i use a QC to run stereo amps and feed the wet fx into them. Perfect amount of saturation For my strandberg with active pickups, anything and everything sounds more like harsh clipping than tasteful saturation no matter how much i adjust gain and the send level of my fx loop so after sounds better in this case😊
I'm glad that you're honing your craft as a worship guitar player. Me personally don't use a compressor for my clean sound. To me, compression on a guitar signal takes the nuance out of your playing. Regarding wet FX, before your amp but after your drive pedals. If not, your delays and reverbs will not sound good. If your amp has an FX loop that is pedal friendly, use it. And if you are worried about a bright delay sound, get an analog delay which is warmer in sound.
Such an informative video. After watching I finally decided to insert my delay and play with it to see if for the 10th time I was able to understand it’s impact on the sound and wow, it finally it me!! Thx! I have one question. Is this routing ok for massive wet sounds? Guitar > compressor > benson pre> golden boy > volume pedal > stomp > stereo to Walrus Acs1 Delay and reverb going stereo into the Stomp effects loop…. For some reason it does not sound big this way…😢 thx in advance
The reasoning behind that is that using an fx loop is essentially running your wet effects after your amp. That is the purpose of an fx loop. If you really play with the delays and reverbs in your effects loop I'm sure you can make it sound big. I used to always run wet effects before my amp modeler but I now run them after and it has never sounded better. You just have to find what works for you.
Unfortunately, most venues run a mono sound. My stereo sound is so much better but I can’t run it through the system that way. Lots of good advice in the video.
You've inspired me to try and run wet effects before my "amp" (Iridium). Listening from my last service, I can barely hear my delays and reverbs! I worry about wash out going from home to church, but its the opposite.
Nearly identical situation here. I’ve got a cheap exp pedal dedicated to my big sky because I can’t trust my mix settings between home and church. Also, our FOH is mono, I’m trying to convince our worship pastor to swap to stereo but it’s a small church with a struggling budget, so the idea of hiring someone (or DIYing) is a tough sell. Will definitely try running delay and reverbs first. Love the sound. Although I will admit the quieter worship moments sounds really nice with we effects after.
For tip number three you kept say wet effects before your “amps” and you used the plural. I was confused to if you meant the overdrives as amps or meaning your actual amp
Gotcha! Yeah so when doing worship stuff, in my experience, it’s best to run 2 amps in stereo (either real or I use 2 modeler amps in the HX Stomp). So I was saying put your reverb and delay before your amps/amp models/etc. hope that helps!
Hi, may I know what amp can you suggest for me? My guitar is a s-type that has SSS config. I find it too bright when using AC30 amp sim, and I don't know which one to choose. Thanks in advance
If the mid control on your ac30 amp sim is a tone cut like it would be on a real ac30, dial that up a bit to cut back some of the high mids, as well as bringing back the treble a little bit
Hi Nick ! Thank you for sharing theses useful tips. I really enjoy the recent content of your channel. When you double tracking, are you using two differents mono electric guitar rigs ? Or do you track stereo twice but then panning left and right ? Do you record with wet effects ?
Thanks David! Personally I double track with my stereo rig and hard pan those, but definitely tracking mono should create a very similar result! As yes definitely I track with wet effects to get that pre amp wet effect grit in the tone. Hope this helps!
@@NickPotockiMusic thank you ! You doing very nice work. I hope to learn more about CCM production in this channel. I also hope that more people watch your content because it’s really interesting and right on the point

This is incredibly helpful, have never known how to dial in these kinds of tones, very helpful! Thank you
Greatvideo! Thanks for the straightforward info amigo!!!
This is it!!! Thank you for this video. May God bless you!

Delay and reverb going stereo into the Stomp effects loop….

tip 4 is gold, everything else are preferential and skill-level dependent.
i had a question any way i can get a visual concept of your pedal setup. i have a hdpod500x
Unfortunately, most venues run a mono sound. My stereo sound is so much better but I can’t run it through the system that way. Lots of good advice in the video.
Great video! Thanks, mate. I'm a bit of a lead guitar noob so I got a few good pointers out of this one. 👍
Could you tell us where in the chain do you place your compression?
Its first in the chain, before anything else
@@NickPotockiMusic Thanks.
Hi, it would be great if you can show how to do setup on your multi effect. (I’m using boss GX-100)
You've inspired me to try and run wet effects before my "amp" (Iridium). Listening from my last service, I can barely hear my delays and reverbs! I worry about wash out going from home to church, but its the opposite.
Nice! Yeah definitely getting the wet mix dialed it home versus church takes a couple weeks to dial in! Good luck with it!

@@NickPotockiMusic awesome, thanks for the response!
So do't put your effects (wet effects) in your amp loop?
For this style of guitar tone like U2 or Coldplay, I’d say no
i have a boss compression pedal - it has so many options on it.. i dont know wher to start. attack?
Is it the compressor sustain blue pedal?
Wet effects before or after your amp is a matter of taste … btw 80% of pro guitarists put them after or in the send/return …
What songs you're playing on your example
Hi, may I know what amp can you suggest for me? My guitar is a s-type that has SSS config.
I find it too bright when using AC30 amp sim, and I don't know which one to choose. Thanks in advance

Which amps you're using on the hx???
Kewl great tips thanks.
thank you so much

Nice guitar❤️🎸
I use an old line 6 amp it oniy cost $50
tip 3 is gold
There only 2 tones,good and bad.The worship sound I here is way to much reverb.Tone gets lost.❤God Bless
