Praise & Worship players...show me your rig!

[Livetheblues]

In my experience, (which is admittedly limited in the grand scheme of things) praise and worship guys have some of the coolest pedalboard. Now, Im biased because I am a P&W player as well. But I wanna see all your rigs and learn about why you have what you have on your board. Im trying to take my rig to the next level, so I wanna see some cool ones.

[FindThePocket]

Been using the Mesa Nomad and the M9 mostly. I'm really liking the simplicity and ease of set up - I used to have a PT pro. This is much more my speed. I like a just a good OD sound and I use delay and verb to taste on certain parts. I know - call me crazy. I like Droff from Hillsong and most of the other guitarists from the big worship churches (Gateway, New Life, Bethel, etc) but I don't like delay on all the time. Just my opinion. I also use this for my band (Eric Jeffcoat Band) and a blues band I play with on the weekends - although for the blues band, I usually leave the pedal board at home.

these look like the same boards as cover band players, bedroom players, blues-rock players, and country players.

[Livetheblues]

they do sometimes, but praise and worship guys are the opposite of other players usually. Other bands play the same songs to different crowds every week. We play different songs to the same crowd. So our board usually dont reflect "our sound." they reflect a lot of sounds and thus tend to be a little more expansive and have some odder effects for the ambient stuff

Just to clarify: my board reflects MY sound. None of my gear was purchased because I think it will sound great for a particular "church approved" song. However, Hillsong and Elevation Church has helped my appreciation for Gretschs. :aok

True. I think that could be said about most genres. I think the OP wanted to see the differences in the boards of others who play this genre to get ideas of how to incorporate new things into his own sound.

[BTBAM]

It's just typically my experience that lots of people play at a church that are on this forum. you'll see the same boards posted in nearly any thread up where they can post a picture of their board.

It'll get posted here, it'll get posted in the rig thread, and posted in the most recent pedalboard thread as well.

Not trying to stir anything, as I play P&W as well, but I also use my board for everything else that I do and doubt it'd show anything out of the ordinary. If anything, I think a lot of P&W boards look pretty similar as well, which usually look modeled after the guys from a) hillsong or b) jesus culture or c) a combination as those boards are pretty close too.

It's an Internet discussion board. Everyone is welcome to their opinion. As long as we only talk about the gear we use to play p/w and not the "message" I don't think we're in violation of the rules.

I think that a lot of p/w player's boards tend to look similar is because they are modeled after the players from the "big churches", or in an effort to get the sound of those players, we tend to migrate to similar combination - like multiple delays and verbs.

[surferfuzz]

true, and also because (uh oh...here we go...) its a genre. it has become one and it requires certain sounds and certain pedals give it, that why you see all the cool delays, certain ODs, etc.

Cool idea for a thread!!! I play at my home Church and other Churches and I love seeing and learning about what other players are using in Worship. It's cool seeing other Mesa guy's, I use an Express 550 with mostly Strats, once in a while a Tele or LP. My pedal board is changing this week, I'm going back too all pedals, no more multi units like the M13. M9 and Nova System I've been using. I have some stuff on order and I hope to have a new board setup by the end of the week. So, I'll be watching this thread for inspiration. :rockin

P&W music encompasses so many different styles of music that it is redundant to make threads like this (guess TGP is full of them)....its like asking what guitar is good for music? I think its just a way to push an agenda, that the mods decide to allow because they themselves follow it too.

thatll be the last i'll be saying about that tho. Getting tired of seeing it around here so much, it is in large one of the reasons why i do not visit this place as often as i used to.

Just a guess...

From my experience, the p&w guitarists role is heavily delay/reverb based. This provides a more atmospheric, full-bodied sound, which makes sense. Typically, the purpose of p&w music is less ego-centric, and more purpose driven. Notice all the delay and modulation pedals, as opposed to boosts and solo pedals

Again...just a guess

[jogden]

Here's my homemade board. A little messy with the wires, but it has served me well for quite a few years.

I play one of three teles ('74 Deluxe, '72 Thinline Reissue CIJ, or '97 American Std). On the back end I run a Dr. Z Maz 18 Jr, NR head into a 1x12 Dr. Z cab.
The original post asked about how the rig is used. I guess the simple answer is that I favor more atmospheric guitar parts and layers. I also sometimes use the MudHoney with a cello bow to do some Sigur Ros type stuff.

This board changes every so often, and I'm in a new phase of GAS, so I may soon have a different layout.

and not a very good guess either. If that is the case, why do these pedalboards have all the same stuff as everybody else's board? I don't see ANY evidence that the 'P&W' players boards are any different (on average) from the "Alt country" or "cover band" pedalboards.

"purpose driven"? "less ego-centric"? Give me a break.

That's why there is a WHOLE OTHER FORUM for you guys to talk about your 'purpose'.

How would people feel if I said "us jazz players are more egalitarian and democratic, so that's why we have different pedals". ? You would be rightfully pissed off, as that would be an equally silly assertion.

To be honest, I'd just gotten both of them :) But so far, they really complement each other! The timeline on its hope seems to have lesser depth but when used with Space, it sounds a lot more complete. Very good for creating ambience. I run the Ice mode in the TL into the blackhole setting in Space and it just hits the spot for those quiet moments and when u play harder during the buildups, the Space just takes it to another level. If you need to fill in for ur keyboard player, then this setup is just killer :) The only trick is to synchronize the tempos on both units. Trying to resolve that :)

I dont think he was talking about his purpose...he wasnt saying P&W musicians are better musicians...just that they are different. I play P&W and when my board is finished I plan on having 3 delays and 2 reverbs. I think subtle overdrive with lots of delay (especially dotted 8ths) are a sign of a P&W musician. I would probably compare P&W boards more to atmospheric, soundscape, ambient stuff. Seems to me like the blues, jazz, and classic rock type boards involve some heavier gain stages and more mod than P&W. In general, alot of P&W boards are huge, compared to blues guys who maybe only play a couple pedals or none at all. Not that one is better than the other. I have mad respect for a guitarist who sounds good with no pedals, but I also have respect for a guy who knows how to use effects to create great tone. Its nothing personal, just some observations I've made.

You are not responding to what I said. The notion that I find illogical is that somehow P&W music is somehow 'prurpose driven and less ego-centric' than other music? And somehow a lot of delay and/or reverb is somehow related to that?

I did not take what he said as an implication of superior musicianship. I took what he said at face value- and it just doesn't make any sense.

I'm simply saying this - look at all the various pedalboards posted here, and at all the pedalboards posted on every other thread. Then do an actual analysis of the number of certain types of pedals, the brands, the size, etc. Almost assuredly there would be be no difference (on average) between church players and non-church players of a variety of genres.

From my experience...

Playing in a P&W setting is unlike any other blues/jazz/jam/etc gig I've ever had. For example, playing in Nashville, tourists want loud, raucous, fast, stereotypical me-first style picking. That style suits that scene, and that is awesome. That guitarist is playing FOR the crowd, $, food, whatever.

In a P&W setting, I have to concentrate to not let my "weedily-weedily" licks come out, because that me-first attitude doesn't gel with that genre. It's distracting from the intent of the music, as a whole. It would not be appropriate. Not absurd at all. You know what appropriate playing is. Any guitarist is a critic and can tell when something doesn't fit. Most CCM guitar work now is rooted in The Edge and Coldplay. Not really know for their face melters.

perhaps a straight ahead traditional blues player (BB king, Buddy guy) of course- they don't use pedalboards at all.

But as soon as you get into blues-rock (e.g. joey b), pop, cover-bands, prog-rock, alt. rock, contemporary country, etc.. the differences become irrelevant in terms of genre. The differences are based on the specific player, guitars, amps, circumstances.

For every dozen players of any genre (assuming they use pedals at all) you will get a dozen different pedalboards.

Uhhh ok whatever....not sure I get where pedals come in to that but whatever...

It's mildly referenced in the influences, who use delay A LOT.

[guitarpkr67]

Please read what Scott says about P&W threads.

"Stick to the gear and leave out the ancillary discussion, everything is fine here. Get into the message and you are out of bounds here. On the P&WF, no restrictions on the ancillary discussion... in fact it is encouraged."

Seems pretty simple to me?

Back to the rigs

and by the way - I am not attacking anyone's faith or beliefs, or the validity of music in church settings AT ALL.

If anything, this is simply my peeve about putting parameters on any music, and the notion that everyone should play the same stuff just because they may or may not share a common lyrical content.

I raised enough eyebrows in 1984 when I stepped on an Arion chorus pedal playing my hamer on a sunday morning.... now that stuff is old hat.

[jrjones]

thanks for being sarcastic! My point is simple - the lyrical content of your music is not going to determine whether you use one op-amp overdrive or another, or which digital delay you choose.

Well, as someone who can see both sides of this question, IMO there are a couple reasons people would ask P&W guys specifically. Much like guys playing bars or festival there is a fairly common setting. A building designed long ago with no thought of ever having a full band, let alone a rock style band with electric guitars and amps. Most are "fighting" against stage volume non-stop (hence all the PODs and character series stuff) and have a sound guy who doesn't know much other than "if I turn the electric down real low and the piano up real high the old people won't gripe at me." much like bars are gonna have their shared circumstances and festivals are.


Now, for the other part of my opinion. If you have no interest other than a pissing match please go elsewhere. Don't be the guy who has to tell someone they're wrong for buying a klon or dumble instead of something cheaper. Let a civil conversation where people in similar situations be civil. I'm not saying you are "that guy", I'm just saying that rarely do threads like these get shut down because of the people interested in a conversation, it's usually someone who doesn't like something and wants to complain because "mommy they're not doing what I want." Please. For everyone's sake. Don't be that guy. I mean nothing personal, just saying if you don't like something then ignore it instead of trying to ignite it.

[Once Far Off]

Maybe we should have a thread or even a sticky where people could voice their negative opinions and frustrations with the VERY EXISTENCE of posts by people who play in churches. There could be an entire section where people argue that these types of threads are in violation of TGP policy, followed by the rebuttals using direct quotes from Brian and other mods showing where they are NOT in violation, provided they stay on the topic of gear.

Then there could be a few pages of people articulating that all you need is dotted eighth delay with all of the U2 jokes. Then there can be comments asking why 'Worship' or 'Praise and Worship' is a separate genre, and what is the difference-followed by jokes about pedals with the word 'demon' or 'sex' in the name.

OR

The people to whom the thread title does not apply could...I don't know...maybe not even open said thread so as not to be offended by people talking about a specific type of gear to be used in a specific type of venue characterized by a specific type of sounds. Maybe the 'offended parties' that pollute 'these types' of threads could take the high road and stay out, rather than try to jam their beliefs down the throats of those who have done nothing other than discuss a germane topic on a discussion board.

That said, I'm running an '89 Les Paul standard into this:

[doublee]

Me i think the whole topic is back door religious posting that somehow is allowed here, I mean, there isnt a Christian pedal board as opposed to a Jewish pedal board is there? I am neither so dont have a point of view either way but It seems weird here that these threads are allowed.

Lets say someone posts about a Muslim or whatever pedal board here and see how fast that would get shut down, come on its ridiculous.

THIS!!!! After being on this forum for a few years now, I'd love to see a P&W thread where us guy's who play in Churches can discuss what were using and why, with out having some guy come in and crap all over the thread with stuff that has nothing to do with the gear discussion.

[FindThePocket]

I knew I shouldn't have posted in this thread, I never have in a PW one before, but this actually looked like it was going to be about gear. FAIL.

As soon as I graduated, I started playing for a living - traveling bands, Disney, sideman gigs. Playing appropriately is necessary in all music. I agree. However, I don't understand the trolling and hate. Inappropriate and insulting thing are said on both sides.

The reason I read and posted in this thread: I hear sounds in some of the PW songs that I'm required to play, and I may not be sure what is being used, so threads like this interest me b/c I may see something and think "oh yeah, that will work." I do the same for other threads like the ambient one. They just seem to stay on topic and not circle the drain.

Oh well, lesson learned. stay away.

On most weekends I play a stock American Standard Tele through this pedal board into a Fender Deluxe Reverb:

http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k595/therahns/Carvin%20C66/ba4b2962.jpg

Some of these are being powered by a PP2+ hidden under the second tier of pedals, including the OCD and GT-500 at 18V. Occasionally my Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah joins in the fun as well:) My LP, '84 MIJ Strat (w/SD Vintage Alnicos), and Marshall JCM2000 DSL201 w/ a Celestion Vintage 30 find their way into the mix once in awhile too...

My take on this is that while P&W is one of the things I play, I also play several other styles for different things. It doesn't matter what I'm playing, I'm using discretion on what is appropriate playing for the situation. If the song calls for a guitar solo, no matter where I am, I'm going to make it the best I can do it. If it calls for me to stay back and play swells, I do that. Whatever fits the situation best. I don't have a recent picture of my pedalboard and rig, but if the thread is still alive when I get a chance I'll post some.

read my other posts. There is no 'common setting'. Every bar, every church, every gig has it's own parameters, acoustically, stylistically or otherwise. There is and should never be a 'norm'.

[eschoendorff]

Drama aside, I did learn a little about P&W trends and gear. My background does not lend itself readily to such knowledge (don't make any assumptions ;) ). However, I have noticed more and more "stuff" about P&W bands on the internet and from students and friends/neighbors. Our town is a little small to support a church that could sport an elaborate P&W band...

I had no idea that ambient effects were so important. I also didn't realize that the guitarist had that much of a different role when playing in a P&W band.

Huh. Learned something new.

[The Kid]

We get it. It's not really funny though. :dunno
Wait, what's not funny?

[gunihoon]

Indeed! Personally, I'd thought I could make do with a El Cap w/ Fav switch and a Flashback (3 presets effectively) but my songlist says otherwise. With a songlist averaging min of 5 songs, I met the wall when the songs call for different time signatures and I have to change my delays from song to song.

I think in the P&W context, presets are then very important. So I got on to the timeline wagon. Now I can use multiple delays settings even within songs! Swell for entry, dTape for verse etc priceless :)

Lots of TimeLines.

Only problem I have now is the power supply to power these 2 big guys. Used to be running from a 1Spot but the timeline gave off a nasty buzz when connected with the rest. Now running on a borrowed PP2+ on input 6 and Space running on the wallplug.

With a Ethos (requiring 12V) incoming, I am contemplating a T-rex Chameleon... shall see...

I'd love to try your settings sometime

[tnt365]

I don't get what all the fuss is about? The title says "Praise and Woship players..." it said nothing about who or what anyone is worshipping. As far as I'm concerned there is no religious bias here ;)

[The Kid]

My church is a very tough load in. Park behind the church, walk your gear around to the front of the church, up a big flight of stairs, all the way to the back of the church and up to the second tier of the choir seating behind Bishop. Whew!

I keep a rig there as a result. A Dr. Z "Z Best" Cab loaded with an AlNiCo Weber Blue Dog and an AlNiCo Weber Silver Bell and use a little cathode biased 30w EF86 front end 6L6GC back end amp that a friend built into an old 1950's PA head for me.

Until I decided to leave it at church, that whole rig was just collecting dust in my closet! It sounds great and I don't have to worry about it. Not that anyone can figure out what it is anyway.

Our organist looked at me when I brought it in and said, "What is that... your lunch?"

Some days I bring my pedal board (it's the same board as my r&b gigs) and some days, I just bring a Dano TOD for a little push. I hear a lot of talking about ambient pedals and delays. My church is a little different I guess. It's mostly quartet gospel... John P. Kee type stuff, and shout music.

Having a rig already set up is awesome. I can walk in with my guitar on my back, plug in, and play. The Dr. Z cab is great because it isn't throwing sound out of the back, bouncing off the wall, and interfering with the choir. I just aim it at the back of the room right over Bishop's head. (I'm a good 15 feet behind and 10 feet above him) :)

We don't have the volume issues that I see that people complain about in a lot of P&W threads here where cats have to go direct or have their cab mic'd off stage. We all have actual amps on stage. Actually, 30W almost isn't enough clean headroom. Our drummer hits!

I went to my friends church this past Sunday and saw what I assume to be the P&W music most are talking about here. Lots of acoustic guitar, beautiful ambient electric guitars with delays and volume pedal swells. Totally different than my church, but I really dug it. They even had the lyrics on a projector screen. No need for hymn books!

The only thing that I didn't like is that they make the drummer use an electronic kit. They totally could have had a regular set and it would have been fine. Both guitarists go direct by choice. They are allowed to use amps if they want.

It's cool to see different approaches to how folks not only make music, but the tools that they use to make it.

[mboersma]

our church threw around the idea of electronic drums and PODs instead of mic'd amps....75% of the musicians revolted haha. The other 25% were the keyboard players :)

Dude, tell me, how is the Strymon compressor? It never gets any attention. I've always been curious. Nice board btw.

[whaiyun]

I really like this board. Mine will be similar to it when it is finished, although it will have some less expensive pedals on it. Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Thanks! It's a lot simpler than the rest of the rigs people have posted (aside from the single Muff haha). I do the leading so I'm more rhythm than fancy dotted eighth or swells/ambient stuff.

Volume cleans up overdrive. TBIAC is rhythm, boost for more, PD for solos. VMSD for filler.

[Pietro]

To set the record straight, a legitimate P&W board must be equipped with a power supply featuring at least two 18vdc or 24vdc outlets. This allows the P&W player to connect with a higher power.

Now that is funny!

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z209/Pietro_gtr/pedal_board.jpg

So...

[J-Walk]

Dude, tell me, how is the Strymon compressor? It never gets any attention. I've always been curious. Nice board btw.

I am stoked about the OB1... the compression is so musical, and sets everything so nicely in the mix. It is very transparent, yet has a little something in the sound that I love. It sounds great and responds very quickly set anywhere from light to very heavy. I set mine up for medium light compression and leave it on all the time. The boost side is amazing as a flat boost, or really useful mid and treble boosts as well. I have my GT-500 providing a clean boost after my dirt, so I find the OB1 boost extremely useful for the mid and treble boosting into some of my OD pedals. Super flexible, not noisy at all, and nice mojo... I wouldn't trade it for anything else in it's price range.

That's what's up!

Here's some stuff from the cats that I play with. (Sadly, I'm not in this clip. They were in BEAST mode!) If I'm allowed to post clips with words (I don't wanna break any rules here) I can post some stuff with me in it.

The cat on the organ is Jon Boyd, Carlton Campbell on drums, Kevin Camp is on Keys (He tours with Martha Munizzi and kills on bass and drums too) The bassist is Calvin Parmer, he tours with Donnie McClurkin, PJ Morton, and many more...

Not only are these amazing players, but some of the best people that I know. I'm so proud of them for who they are and what they do. I'm usually the guy hanging on for dear life in those situations.

Here's some with me in it from an appreciation service we did for one of the drummers that I play with. I'm the seated guitarist on the right. There's words, but the vocals are peaking the camcorder mics so much that you can't really tell what's being said.

[voorhiessa]

Seems like there's either "Hillsong P&W" or "other P&W".

I dont really enjoy playing the .8th, ambient wash stuff myself, so my board is pretty limited. Not really a big U2/Hillsong fan either. I had a bunch of effects at one time, then scrolled down to just a tuner and overdrive and LOVED it! This is current, and I've set a limit to 3-4 pedals.

Polytune--Dynacomp (for trade)--Texas Two Step--Bad Monkey (sometimes, I just put it on top of the amp if I'm playing my solid state)---*

*this will either be a DD20 or Repeater or 616. I like the 616's modulation, I like the repeater's tap tempo, and I like the DD20's flexiability (had one before, could get flange, rotary, chorus, deep verb, looping out of it). Or I may forget about delay altogether and get a nice, versatile modulation pedal--ChoralFlange, etc. Not sure yet....i cant decide, so I'm just going to see what comes my way.

--that said, I think the sterotypical worship sound is gradually changing....I'm not sure what's going to be popular next, but it should be exciting.

I really like simple too. Thanks for an explanation of how you use your pedals. That's helpful.

On another bit a quirky note (and I'm not sure if you did this on purpose or not) but I am going to try to have each pedal from a different maker.

I don't know much about either the TBIAC or the Paisley. Are you getting any ts like tones out of either of these?

I have the TBIAC set up for a mid boost, turned down the treble (and bass) a bit (Vox Top Boost is inherently bright). It's got that traditional vox sound.

The Paisley Drive is .. hard to describe... it replaced Brad Paisley's zendrive and wampler underdog. Not sure what it is. I just know it sounds amazing. BP did describe it to have similar qualities to his Trainwreck amp however.

[jrjones]

LOL! our sound guy suggested we run straight out of our pedalboards into the PA and we turned green quickly. I payed a lot of money for my amp because IT SOUNDS GOOD!

I had a pastor tell me that once. He didn't understand why I didn't like the idea or why it wouldn't sound the same. I told him he needed to leave music to people who know music because he doesn't know anything. The week directly after said conversation, I was using my ac30.

haha! Thanks brother! Actually, I'd add an El Cap, or a second DD5 if I had a different setup (meaning if I had a bigger board, because those aren't the only things I'd add... trem... wah... fuzz. :D You know...)

T1M the Pearl (that black box) is a DS1 killer for sure. It's my only OD, for good reason. It's all I need. Does SO much in such a small package.

Maybe we should have a thread or even a sticky where people could voice their negative opinions and frustrations with the VERY EXISTENCE of posts by people who play in churches. There could be an entire section where people argue that these types of threads are in violation of TGP policy, followed by the rebuttals using direct quotes from Brian and other mods showing where they are NOT in violation, provided they stay on the topic of gear.

Then there could be a few pages of people articulating that all you need is dotted eighth delay with all of the U2 jokes. Then there can be comments asking why 'Worship' or 'Praise and Worship' is a separate genre, and what is the difference-followed by jokes about pedals with the word 'demon' or 'sex' in the name.

OR

The people to whom the thread title does not apply could...I don't know...maybe not even open said thread so as not to be offended by people talking about a specific type of gear to be used in a specific type of venue characterized by a specific type of sounds. Maybe the 'offended parties' that pollute 'these types' of threads could take the high road and stay out, rather than try to jam their beliefs down the throats of those who have done nothing other than discuss a germane topic on a discussion board.

LOL! our sound guy suggested we run straight out of our pedalboards into the PA and we turned green quickly. I payed a lot of money for my amp because IT SOUNDS GOOD!

Yikes - half the science of picking your pedals is how they react with an amp - preferably your own.
In a situation like that something like a Pod - heck, even a Pocket Pod - set to sound like your favorite amp and at the end of the chain before going into the DI - would be at least an improvement...

[Tbone135]

I used to use a Pod XT for when I travelled to churches and it ended up working out fine as long as I treated it like amp. I put it after my regular board and was pretty impressed when one particularly adept soundguy gave me an FOH disc that is probably the best I've ever heard my rig in church. I couldn't believe it at the time, but the soundguy is a HUGE factor in making DI sends work.

No more pedals on my "to buy" list, and finally exchanged my old solid state Marshall for a Vox AC15 tube amp. Very happy with the way it all sounds.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to plugging in the ABC looper I ordered. I've been running the 2 loop switcher on the left IN the second loop of the switcher on the right to keep options open, but I realized that I pretty much stick to certain sounds so the ABC will save me some space.

My setup! I run it through either a Germino Masonette or a JMJ30. At church these two amps go into a Rivera Silent Sister Iso Cab with a 65watt Scumback M75 in it. I'm really happy with my pedalboard, it does exactly what I need it to do.

Very nice, ebenezer! That´s minimalistic use of delay for a P&W player, I guess, but what do I know about the genre actually!? Do you play rhythm guitar?
Your PT Mini pic makes me GAS even more for a smaller delay for my Mini (a TF is on there at the moment), even with Lava´s its hard fit three drive pedals and a tuner on it (I "need" three, you know ;)).

EDIT: Sniper V, holy cow!
I´m in the mood to run through two 2-rocks pretty often as well, too bad I don´t own any ... :D Your collection is drool worthy, as they say nowadays! Awesome!
Btw, do you pronounce "Xits" like the word exits? just curious...

Thanks Rabbit! Yeah I actually do play mostly rhythm as I'm leading most songs. I use the delay for a bit of "atmosphere" during the slower, cleaner songs. And yeah, I need a medium gainer (Fetto C-Luxe), Higher Gainer (Model H), and my Fuzz (Scarab Deluxe). So 3's my magic number!

@Sniper-V

Dang, you put everyone else to shame with your amps...yet your pedalboard is as simple as anyone else's, I like that! Question: how are you using the DD20 and do you ever find yourself wanting a "better" delay? I've gone through too many delays including the Strymon Timeline, but I find myself always wanting to come back to the DD20.

Old rig-shot. I still use the Blues Jr with the above board. If I need to, the Classic 30 or HRD come out. The AxeFx rack has been dismantled to fit all the wireless equipment into a 4-space. The Axe is great for P&W, but I was bit by the amp bug and decided to do that while I save up to buy the AxeFx 2.

[Redhouse-Blues]

Here's my rig for this weekend. I just finished this pedal board tonight, I have the Nova setup with 9 presets of different dotted 8th and other ambient delays. The Carbon Copy is my always on delay, just adds a touch of space to everything. I'd like to add another drive, something different then the BB and GT-500, something not so Marshall would be nice. It sounds great!!

Question: how are you using the DD20 and do you ever find yourself wanting a "better" delay? I've gone through too many delays including the Strymon Timeline, but I find myself always wanting to come back to the DD20.

The types of pedals that I can't seem to stop buying would be Boost/Overdrive/Distortion/Fuzz pedals and Delay pedals. I'm always up to try the new flavor of the month.

The DD-20 has been a faithful good all-round delay for me and I happen to really love the Mod tones from it. It's got great options and its super easy to use on the fly live. It sounds very decent as well. I think there's plenty that shine more, but for all-round, its hard for me not to always fall back on the DD-20.

I'm always buying delays and I think I've tried or owned just about all the popular delays out there including the Timeline which was for me as well. Just had way too much going on and I felt like I was just tweaking forever and not finding a tone to land on. I felt the same way about the Eventide Timefactor and other Mutil-Delay units. I prefer simple and toneful delays like the Replica and Memory Lane 1 & 2.

My most recent delay acquisition is the Toneczar Echoczar & Anglebaby:

^nice! how do you use the AD9?

[Preacherofrock]

Ad9 is always on, and just thickens the sound up a bit. It is really subtle. The delay time is set to max, repeats about noon and mix about 3 o'clock.

[disfrontman]

I made this last week. It's a Traveller Guitar brick case (32 1/2" long) which I gutted and relined with blood red crushed velvet. Tech 21 Liverpool into a GT-10 via the s/r loop. All my tones, clean/crunch/lead, all come from the Liverpool. So at least my main tone is analog, right? The FX in the GT-10 are very useable in a live context.

Not as sexy as the other pedalboards on this thread, but sound guys love a DI guitarist. Like many church musicians, I am monitoring myself via Avioms/in ears. If I ever needed to have my own amps, I can run a stereo tap off of the "thru" outputs of the Radial DI box.

All subject to change, but the FX in the GT-10 are quite good and the signal chain is quiet if managed correctly. I doubt I would ever go back to separate pedals for delay/mod/trem/leslie FX. I certainly might upgrade the main preamp sound (the Liverpool) if I found a better AC30 knockoff, but for now I get complements from the sound guy nearly every Sunday. And set up takes 30 seconds max.

Got a PT Nano before the weekend and threw together a board with some individual pedals I wasn't really using with my standard PT Mini setup... and it blew me away... totally bewildered! it just sounds AMAZING! It sounds crystal clear with all sounds. Think 'jangly Hendrix' for an idea of the sound The next time I lead worship I will be using this setup guaranteed.

Saw on an Instagram post from Jeffrey Kunde that he replaced his Timefactor with a Nova Delay after his Timefactor crashed during a set two weeks ago.

Ironically enough, my Timefactor started glitching out yesterday during worship rehearsal as well. Seems like Timefactors don't belong in church! :messedup

Anyways, my point being, why the Nova Delay? I had one and wasn't very happy with the sound. But that's just me.

Both are killer pedals, but i prefer the sound of the Tim. To me it is more open, and a little bigger in sound. The boost and effects loop are nice extras as well. If I were limited to a smaller footprint, I'd be pleased with the Timmy, but Tim is my preferrence for sure:)

[crxshdxmmy]

People love the boost. For some reason. I'm not a huge fan because I'd really like some extra volume when I get more gain... which the Tim doesn't do. And the fx loop was completely useless in my experience, so I don't get it. It does sound a little smoother than the Timmy — but even there, I prefer the Timmy.

I find that i do get a good boost in volume on my tim if that gain is past noon. But i set the OD side for just a slight amount of hair then use the boost to fatten it up then i have an ep booster to get a volume boost

BUT i have found that the tone control on my boost side is totally useless i cant ever hear any difference

[Rick Towne]

I'd rather have our drummer outside the cage, where I can hear him better, and the amp on the side or in some other location facing me. How does the front section of the congregation do with the direct amp projection?

I don't have everything here right now for a photo, but I'm running: strat -> M13 -> Top Hat Ambassador 35. I'm looking for a nice "dual channel" OD that does midgain + boost (Blackstone Appliances?) as I'm not completely in love with the M13's dirt boxes. I tried a FDII but didn't like it through the Top Hat. We run amps in isolation mic'd through the PA and in-ears, so I get to crank the Top Hat up to the edge of breakup. A nice two-channel OD would give me all the other gain options I need.

Guitar-wise, I'd like to add an LP to the family relatively soon.

What is it?

Yeah, not many 3 pup Teles out there. I'm a huge Tele fan but I also love my Strats, especially the 2 and 4 positions. So this is my way of getting those Strat tones out of a Tele.

It's a custom-Tele I had made. Essentially a "JB-Inspired Tribute" Esquire Heavy Relic + "Stealth-Esquire" + Nashville-style setup. Lightweight ash body, maple neck with Boat-V neck profile, and 6105 frets.

Loaded with Dave Stephens 1950 Broadcaster Bridge + Texas '59 Middle + Supercaster Neck. Wired with 5-way switch w/push-pull tone the add Bridge pup in all positions.

Killer Tele!

[Watersedge1234]

Please elaborate. We have V-drums and I'd love to dump them. I assume "time align" is to sync them to PA, so you don't get latency.....how's that accomplished?

You will need a digital board in order to do this (eg, individual delay control of each mic on stage). For every foot away from the front of the stage each mic is, add .88 ms of delay time (and this applies to any direct sound source loud enough to be heard in the room from the stage). Subs may require less if they werent already time aligned to the tops (larger speakers have a slower reaction time).

It still won't cut down on the volume of the drums in the room, but will keep them from fighting with the pa.

I just got my board together. It has a few new additions and is now well organized and presentable. This selection of effects gives me the variety that I need to be able to handle the kind of rock, brit-rock, ambient inspired tunes we do with our congregation.

Nice pedals. I had a Maz 18 2x10 and loved it.

When you say that all of this goes into the Maz do you mean everything goes into the amp input or do you separate your wet effects into a loop in the Maz?

When you say that all of this goes into the Maz do you mean everything goes into the amp input or do you separate your wet effects into a loop in the Maz?

Funny you should ask. I was just having this conversation with a couple of TGP'ers today. I run the whole thing direct into the amp. I don't use the EFx Loop. For me it is preference - I just don't like the extra wires involved.

Also, I run my Maz incredibly clean, so even when I kick in some drive, I don't find it messing with my wet effects. If I do kick in two or more drives, I'll usually turn the delay off, unless I really want to fill the space or playing a lead.

Dan, I appreciate you trying to analyze the sound situation from a picture, but what the picture can't show is that I really don't have much volume coming out of the amp to even be an issue. I'm pretty conservative and run low and tame volumes. Normally I do run my speakers facing the back of the stage but was told my the sound guys that I could run them forward with no sound issues. From what I understand the "sound" was fine. I'm not the sound guy nor claim to be one.

Honestly, I have my hands full just trying to setup and play the service let alone worry about the FOH mix.

[dlc1953]

Mine has been the same for a while now. I've added an Ernie Ball VP Jr. with a This1sMyne buffer and TunerOut to EXP conversion (which included a killer LED under the treadle). Looking forward to getting a TimeLine as soon as I can rebound from buying a house last month.

[Jangles]

Is the Decimator needed? I'm contemplating getting one, but I don't see many people with one, so I just try and deal with any hums.

I get a moderate amount of 60 cycle hum when I play, and sometimes in a worship setting it is unacceptable. I use my Decimator for the times where it's a very quiet/clean part & have it off for the rest of the time. It's a great pedal, and it doesn't really affect tone, but it does cut sustain a tad (noticeable with delay/effect units). For the $150 it's well worth it & is a a literal SILENCER.

[olihp]

Our band was invited to play in another church. Got there, took our my board and couldn't find the amp. The sound man said, pls plug direct into the DI... thru my IEMs, it just sounded horrid!

So, I tried disconnected my Palmer PDI-09 from my amp which I used as a direct line in to replace micing the cab in church.

Out of curiosity, I used the Palmer on my Pedalboard straight into mixer with no amps..... Guess what, it works, sounded very clean and the overdrives sounded very dynamic too...Just like an invins-cible amp...

Now It'll be on my pedalboard all the time...So if I get to a gig that provides me with horrible solid state amps, I'll request for a direct in with my 'magic box'...Long live the Palmer.

It's a great pedal, and it doesn't really affect tone, but it does cut sustain a tad (noticeable with delay/effect units). For the $150 it's well worth it & is a a literal SILENCER.

Have you tried running it before your delay/verb effects? That might kill the him and still allow your trails to continue.

I'm looking for a nice "dual channel" OD that does midgain + boost (Blackstone Appliances?) as I'm not completely in love with the M13's dirt boxes. I tried a FDII but didn't like it through the Top Hat. We run amps in isolation mic'd through the PA and in-ears, so I get to crank the Top Hat up to the edge of breakup. A nice two-channel OD would give me all the other gain options I need.


Hey man, I would totally get the Blackstone. I have one that I use with my AC-15 and it beat out every other overdrive I have tried so far. It takes a little time to dial in the exact tones, and the internal treble and gain adjustments are key, but now that I got mine set it really is like two awesome gain channels. I have sold all other overdrives except a Cusack Screamer (just to have a third tonal option).

Nice board, very nice board. Do you find it difficult to reach to the back for the POG and the like?

Guys, what sort of stuff are you generally required for at your church with regards to guitar?

The reason I ask I'm curious about what role different guitarists play in their worship team and how that is reflected in their pedalboard size, choice and layout. For example, I would expect those who lead worship from electric to have a smaller and more straightforward pedalboard setup, and those who do more fulfil a more rhythm guitar role (whether guitar/pads/keys/ambient etc) to have lots more delay and programmable effects, and those who do more lead to have more types of dirt and boosts etc.

I'm lucky in that my church lets me leave it set up - otherwise I'd need a dolly to move that puppy around...
