TONE

Original gear

Amp: Clean amp, low gain — dotted-eighth delay + big reverb (Bethel ambient build)

A Bethel ambient-worship staple. Song-specific gear is not deeply documented, but it uses the classic Bethel build: a clean guitar with a dotted-eighth delay and a big, modulated reverb (Strymon-trinity style), volume swells, and a light transparent overdrive for the fuller parts. Atmospheric and pad-like.
