HX Stomp Worship Tones

Description

The preset is your ultimate tool for creating lush, ambient, and dynamic soundscapes, perfectly suited for modern worship music. Centered around the iconic chime and responsive breakup of a Matchless DC30, this preset utilizes the Matchstick Ch1 amp model to deliver a rich tonal foundation. This tone is built on a versatile parallel signal path, creating a wide, immersive stereo image that fills the space without becoming muddy. With three distinct snapshots—CLN, DRV, and DRV+—you can seamlessly move from pristine clean textures to saturated lead lines. Signal Chain Breakdown: The preset begins with a carefully selected chain to shape the core tone before splitting into two distinct paths for stereo depth and complexity. Mono Input Stage: Compressor: Kinky Comp - This compressor is first in the chain to add sustain and even out playing dynamics, providing a smooth and polished foundation. Drive: Heir Apparent - Based on the iconic Prince of Tone, this pedal serves as the main gain stage. Its gain is controlled by the snapshots, allowing you to go from a clean boost to a thick, overdriven sound. Amplifier: Matchstick Ch1 - The heart of the preset, capturing the bright, articulate, and touch-sensitive character of the Matchless DC30's first channel. Stereo Parallel Paths: After the amp, the signal splits into Path A and Path B to create a full stereo image. Path A (Left Side): IR (Impulse Response): IR 102 - A custom impulse response shapes the cabinet tone for this path. Delay: Vintage Digital - Set to a classic dotted-eighth note, this delay provides the rhythmic pulse essential for many worship songs. Reverb: Glitz - This reverb adds a beautiful, shimmering top-end and atmospheric decay, creating a spacious and ethereal soundscape. Path B (Right Side): IR (Impulse Response): IR 104 - A second, different impulse response is used to create a wide and distinct stereo cabinet feel. Delay: Transistor Tape - Set to a quarter note, this warm, analog-style tape delay adds a layer of rhythmic complexity and texture that complements the digital delay on the other path. The two paths are then joined together, with Path B panned hard right, resulting in a rich and expansive stereo field perfect for creating an immersive worship experience.
