Note: This is the modern AMBIENT WORSHIP tone — a clean guitar with a DOTTED-EIGHTH delay (the galloping, rhythmic Strymon Timeline / Boss DD-8 pattern, ~346ms at 130 BPM) feeding a big, MODULATED reverb (Strymon BigSky 'Cloud'/'Bloom' style) for a pad-like wash. Add VOLUME SWELLS (volume pedal or pinky) so notes bloom in with no attack. Almost no gain., Dial a dotted-eighth delay in time with the song, a long modulated reverb, and swell the notes in. Keep the amp clean and bright; the effects and swells are the whole sound., Settings are community-researched starting points, not official recall sheets.
