Notes & Caveats
- No explicit pedalboard photo or amp settings for this exact song/section; gear and effects inferred from live era, typical Hillsong UNITED setup, and genre.
- Pedal models are inferred from era and typical Hillsong UNITED boards; specific settings are estimated based on genre and amp type.
- No direct evidence of exact amp settings; values are estimated for Vox AC30 in this context.
- No explicit pickup selector info; bridge pickup is most likely for main riff clarity and attack.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Hillsong UNITED's live tones in this era favored edge-of-breakup to light crunch for rhythmic clarity, with mids pushed for mix presence, balanced bass, and moderate treble/presence for articulation. Reverb is subtle but present for ambience, matching their typical Vox/AC30 or Matchless setups and worship rock conventions.
