An LSR roller nut. Distributed by Fender.

I quite like the sound of the RV35. Having heard this clip and previously playing through a Two Rock Studio Pro, i think personally i'd be happier with a Two Rock (although IINM the Morgans are slightly cheaper).

This is a bit of a rant...It's amazing how worship bands in the US chase brands like Morgan, Matchless, Top Hat, 3 Monkeys, Divided by 13, 65 Amps, Jackson Ampworks etc and then chuck a whole bunch pedals in front of the amp (and i have seen some of these pedalboards...Michael Flatley would be afraid...very very...afraid) and totally kill what the amp has to offer (IMHO).
And it's also pathetically stereotypical now to see an AC30 rip-off, a Strymon BlueSky, (Insert fave delay pedal brand here...wait, let me guess...Strymon Timeline) Delay all in the same room (dare i say, less than 30 ft apart). Oh wait...that's a U2 cover band. Or maybe not. But if contemporary American worship music guitar players wanted everything to sound like volume swells, pads & synths, why don't they just do everyone a favour and play keyboards instead!
Whatever happened to real music at church...instead all i hear from the contemporary mainstream worship culture are the same old lame progressions, even lame-r solos and lyrics God alone knows the meaning of.
It'd be a breath of fresh air to hear somebody channel SRV or Hendrix or Matt Bellamy or, at the very worst, Henry Kaiser at church...

I'd love for someone to prove me wrong

As far as I know the whole widley widley U2 style delay in worship music started in Australia... Then from that guy who started using it at Hillsong every other church guitarist is trying it now. Don't get em wrong if you like it then go ahead, I played for the church band for years ? , but what happened to originality, making someone else's song your own using the equipment you have? Imagine me playing on my SLO but only little widly stuff? It was meant for monster ear crushing distortion! I am compelled to use it ?. Some of the brands Arjun mentioned have such awesome capabilities... Why do we limit our equipment? It's the equivalent of have a Bugatti and only driving 60km/h... O.o

That vid is my favourite video on the INTERNET, it comes from a Martin Scorsese documentary on the blues, worth checking out!
