Notes & Caveats
- No explicit studio pedalboard or amp settings for 'Hosanna' riff found in sources.
- Guitar and amp inferred from known gear of Michael Guy Chislett and typical Hillsong United studio setups in 2006-2007.
- Pedals and effects inferred from genre conventions and audible effects in the recording.
- Settings estimated based on typical Vox AC30 clean/ambient worship tones.
- If more specific studio documentation or pedalboard photos surface, update accordingly.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The riff section of 'Hosanna' features a clean-to-edge-of-breakup tone with chime and clarity, typical of Hillsong UNITED's use of Fender or Vox-style amps and single-coil guitars. The settings favor midrange for presence in a mix, balanced bass to avoid muddiness, and moderate reverb for spaciousness, matching both the genre and the band's production style.
