Guitar: Squier Bullet Strat (MIJ pickups)
Board: Green Movement
Chain Used:
Hudson Broadcast-AP (Red knob @ 1PM, Black @ Noon)
GFI System Orca – Diffuse Repli setting, with heavy reverb-like delay
Loop Progression: Am → F
Mood: Dynamic strumming, alternating between intense and gentle
I found myself playing a simple Am to F progression—letting it loop while the Orca spilled dreamlike echoes over it. It felt moody, open, and desperate. So I turned to Psalm 6, where David cries out for mercy, healing, and rescue.
And it just fit.
The Broadcast gave it urgency. The Orca blurred the edges in a way that matched the raw ache of David’s voice. The loop became a foundation—almost like a bed of trembling, unresolved hope—and as I recited the psalm aloud over it, it was as if the music had been written for those words.
“Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint… My soul is in deep anguish. How long, Lord, how long?”
The tones didn’t fight the text. They carried it.
For a moment, gear, scripture, and spirit aligned.
And it reminded me why I do this.
