Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No explicit amp or pedal models/settings for the solo section of 'Hosanna' found in sources; amp and effects inferred from genre, era, and audible characteristics.
  • ⚠️Guitar model confirmed for the album, but not specifically for the solo section; however, White Falcon is highly likely based on live/studio footage and typical usage.
  • ⚠️Amp model is not confirmed; Vox AC30 is a common choice for Hillsong United in this era but not explicitly cited for this track.
  • ⚠️Pedal models are not confirmed; delay and reverb are clearly audible in the solo, but exact pedal/amp sources are unknown.
  • ⚠️All knob settings are estimated based on typical Vox AC30/Hillsong United tones from the 2000s.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo section in 'Hosanna' features a clear, edge-of-breakup tone with moderate warmth and forward mids, typical of Hillsong UNITED's use of Vox or Matchless-style amps. The reverb is lush but not overwhelming, matching the ambient worship context, and the EQ is balanced for clarity and presence in a dense mix.
