Living Hope
The polished worship-pop electric on Phil Wickham's title track — played by session guitarist Casey Moore, not Wickham's touring player. A clean Vox-or-boutique amp bed sits under a dotted-eighth delay and a big plate reverb, with an EHX Micro POG adding an octave-up shimmer to the swells. The verses are pad-like and compressed; the choruses open up with a light boost into the amp. Half-time feel in Eb, about 72 BPM. The atmosphere is the part — the dry tone alone is almost nothing.

What we checked
Computed by a program, on this recipe, every time this page is built. How this works
Preset files — 0 of 3 complete
- Helix 1 block missing from the file
Which ones
Not in the file: Pitch Wham / POG. The recipe calls for this block, but we have no verified model ID for it on this platform, so the preset is written without it. Add it by hand using the settings above.
- Quad Cortex 4 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
Which ones
Replaced with a stand-in: Studio Comp, Octaver, UK 30 TopBoost, 2x12 Vox Blue. These load cleanly but are not the model named above — the file will sound wrong here until we map them. Set these blocks by hand.
- Katana 1 block missing from the file; 4 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
Which ones
Not in the file: Reverb. The recipe calls for this block, but we have no verified model ID for it on this platform, so the preset is written without it. Add it by hand using the settings above.
Replaced with a stand-in: Clean, Boost, Delay, Reverb. These load cleanly but are not the model named above — the file will sound wrong here until we map them. Set these blocks by hand.
What we didn't check
- Nobody played this through a real amp. There is no human listening test behind any number on this page.
- The settings are reasoned from the sources below, not measured off the record.
- No audio has been rendered for this recipe yet, so you cannot hear it before you load it.
- 3 platforms on this page (TONEX, Kemper, Fractal) get a model pointer, not a preset file — nothing was built or checked for them.
