Nigel Hendroff
Hillsong Worship's longtime music director and lead electric guitarist. Hendroff defined the modern worship-guitar sound: a Gretsch into a chiming Vox AC30, an always-on boost holding the amp on the edge of breakup, and Strymon Timeline + BigSky building washes of ambient delay and reverb. His signature BigSky presets have shaped the guitar atmosphere on years of Hillsong records.
