Sound of Light Amp Settings & Guitar Tone
Featured Tone
New Day (2016)
Fender American Standard Stratocaster (SSS, circa 2012-2016) — estimated; Telecaster is a plausible alternate → Vox AC30 Custom (30W, 2x12 Celestion Greenback
Bright, chimey, glassy single-coil verses with heavy ambient wash from long dotted-eighth delay and lush hall/plate reverb — the signature modern-worship ethereal electric descended from U2's The Edge and Hillsong United. Choruses bloom into a harmonically rich edge-of-breakup Vox-style chime, never fully distorted. The overall production is polished, spacious, and mid-focused, sitting on top of a pad-and-acoustic bed and built for congregational singing.
