Great Are You Lord

Sparse, warm folk-worship from All Sons & Daughters. Stu Garrard ('Stu G,' ex-Delirious?) plays a blue Telecaster into a chiming Vox AC30 and a Park combo, with an always-on Jackson Audio Prism boost holding the amp on the edge of breakup and a restrained ambient delay/reverb for space. This is a Tele-and-amp tone, not a pedalboard tone — the texture comes from the spank of the Telecaster and the bloom of the AC30, with reverb filling the room. Key of A, ~72 BPM in 6/8.

What we checked

Computed by a program, on this recipe, every time this page is built. How this works

Preset files — 1 of 3 complete
  • Helix builds complete — every block in the recipe is in the file
  • Quad Cortex 4 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
    Which ones

    Replaced with a stand-in: Studio Comp, Klon, 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: Crunch, 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.
