Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp model or pedalboard for this specific recording found in sources; guitar is confirmed via Equipboard photo evidence.
- Amp settings are estimated based on typical modern worship rock tones and the likely use of a Gretsch with Filter'Tron pickups into a clean/crunch amp.
- Pedal and effects choices are inferred from genre conventions and audio analysis, not direct source confirmation.
- No pedalboard or amp photo/video from the 'Breakthrough Mix' session; settings and effects are estimated based on the audible tone and typical Phil Wickham gear.
- If more specific studio documentation or interviews surface, settings and effects should be updated.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Phil Wickham's 'This Is Amazing Grace' riff tone is a modern worship rock crunch—tight, articulate, and mid-forward but not overly saturated. His typical use of Vox/Matchless-style amps and single-coil guitars favors edge-of-breakup to light crunch, with balanced bass, pronounced mids, and a touch of reverb for space without washing out the riff.
