The Leem GA-820 is an entry solid-state practice amp with 3-band EQ and no onboard presence or reverb controls. Hillsong's ambient worship tone is defined by external dotted-8th delay and deep reverb into a clean chime platform, so keep the Leem on the Clean channel at low gain to serve as an undistorted base. Use position 4 (bridge+middle) on your Stratocaster to capture the signature glassy, quacky top end without harshness.
