Christian is all I play! I play a tele! I have a blues deluxe og. Any of the Hot Rod series are "hot" amps. Mine screams on 2 haha! With Fender you can't beat their clean tone on amps!! period. Depending on the money and really the sound you want. Hillsong-AC30 Matchless. Linclon Brewster- AC30.. In most churchs you have to mic the amp anyways.. so unless you need large amounts of head room you could go with a 15w amp.. Blues Junior AC15. The Fenders sound great with a tele you really have to push your mids with that combo to get a warm sound. If you don't you sound like Hillsong meets Sugarland. Vox has a good bit of highs too they call chim.. With a Tele use your pedals more. but amp wise look for 30W or lower.. mic the amp turn it up to get a good tone. thats about it.. its about your ear and what fits the church pick a sound of a band and go for it! God Bless! Keep working for God!

I'm just curious how an amp could specifically be good/bad for Christian music. I mean a good amp is a good amp right? It may be more meaningful to ask which amp has better cleans as I suppose your not looking for Marshall/Orange stacks to rock the congregation. :o

IMHO, a piano at minimum and an organ, at most, is really all that's needed to lead the congragation in church in song.
The minute you put some bonham and page on the platform something goes amiss.

Different strokes for different folks.As there are different styles of churches there are different styles in music.I play a couple times a month at a church with a full band.I play a strat thru a deluxe reverb.There has to be some level of maturity to play on the platform so to speak.Unlike when I play out its not a show.

I was kind of wondering that myself. A venue is a venue. It just depends on the size of said venue. A good amp is a good amp.

Different Strokes for different folks, I guess this is one aspect that kinda drives me away from the mega church types. Call me old school but that is what I grew up on and I am more into the reverential congretational approach. You see the words to the song have to have some deep soultouching meaning. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate outside the box, but in this area I am just so locked into a certain sound not unlike what you'd hear in a small country church, that implies that box is very restrained from opening.

Now what you said about being mature... I can respect that 100%.
Some churches band go so hogwild it's hard for me to distinguish it between a church and a nightclub.

So.... it may really be approach more than choice of instrument, though the instrument does tend to bear a heavy influence on the approach.

I'm a worship musician playing a telecaster guitar. I play in a medium to large size worship center. I am considering buying a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. I've been warned that the HRD is a hard amplifier to tame. That it has two volume settings: "loud" and "louder". Is this the case? Can the HRD be tamed? I use an OCD Overdrive, Boss dd-20 Delay, Boss Chorus, and Phaser primarily. Pretty heavy on the Overdrive and Delay.

Any advice on this would be great!




We mic everything through the PA and all I do is use my amp as my monitor.


We keep use our guitars amps as foldback monitors or in enclosures to keep stage volume down.
I play a Mesa Express 5:25 at 5 watts and its covers a wide variety of worship styles.
Another suggestion would be the Fender Mustang II... it has a closed back, and models the Fender cleans really well.
