So even though I’m a tone snob myself, the thought of replacing my tube amp on stage was a little disheartening. Guitar players are probably already starting to cringe because good tube tone comes from pushing the tubes hard (i.e. So several years ago, I started looking for alternatives that would allow me to get as close to the thick analog tone of my tube amp without having the physical amp on stage. One of the unique things about my situation is that I need to limit my “stage volume.” Our church is pretty small but we have a fairly large worship team, so if everyone has their amps up on stage everything can quickly start to sound like a sonic mess.
There were a couple questions asking me to dive a little deeper on how I do this, so here is a complete walkthrough of how I make it work.
The majority of the webinar was about our own personal iPad productivity workflows, many of which center around GoodNotes (the replay is actually available to anyone who has purchased our GoodNotes course), but I did mention briefly that I played guitar through my iPad live with the worship team at my church. Last week, Shawn and I co-hosted a webinar on iPad productivity.
