Strymon

What is it with those church types of guitar players and Strymon?

This is a real phenomenon and I will get to the bottom of it.

It's very real, and makes sense -you can get "The Edge"'s double delay/verb sound perfectly in stereo with Strymon.....


and it is apparently law that ALL modern worship music sound like U2 derivatives.

The Edge and Coldplay were definitely an inspiration. Current worship guitar sounds tend to be even wetter than the edge’s. I disagree re the other instruments sounding like U2. The drums for example tend to be much bigger and the bass more sparse. Similar preaching level in the lyrics though :)

The righteous tone perhaps?

Or when people go "Jesus! You paid that much for a pedal to play in a worship band every other Sunday?"

Let's be honest "Coldplay" -they are are quintessential ultra derivative "Safety Rockers" of our time.

U2 is so much better in every way.
 
I call them "Bondo & Sludge".

Gimme Thin Lizzy (or Black Star Riders) any day of the week over U2!

Enya too.
 
I don't know. Orange, Green and Blue are strong contenders...

Orange: DS1, Ross Comp, Ibanez Compressor, MXR Phase 45, 90, 100, Boss Overdrive/Distortion, Boss OD3, Empress tremolo...

Green: TS808, TS9, SD9, Boss PH 1-2-3, Boss TR2, Diamond Tremolo, Nobels OD-1....

Blue: Just the choruses salon is incalculable.
 
AFA U2 goes, the main reason I don't like them isn't because of the Edge's atmospheric guitar playing, but Bono's irritating, whiny and grating voice.
