Inspiring you to create & serve with excellence.
Hey I'm Sam! I've been playing guitar for nearly 2 decades and a solid chunk of that time has been spent serving in worship bands. I remember how difficult it was when I first started playing at church, but I also remember how inspiring it was to learn from the incredible musicians around me. Which leads me to this channel!
I created this with the goal of ministry. Just like I was (and continue to be) so inspired and moved by the musicians around me, I want to inspire you to create more, and ultimately use your gifting to serve your church to see more people come to know Jesus.
This channel will be a resource for song tutorials and lessons, education around the guitar and gear, as well as gear reviews and demos, all centered around the worship context. So feel free to Subscribe and say hey!

2023 Worship Pedalboard Walkthrough | Strymon Iridium
Just played this yesterday… I didn’t realize how off I was on some those parts playing by ear 😂.
Aww man I thought this was I Stand in Awe by Jesus Culture 😢 great video tho! Like always!! Would you consider making a cover/tutorial of I Stand in Awe by Jesus Culture? 😅
Thank you! And thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check that out!
I feel like the Big Sky is so overrated and overpriced
Good thing there’s lots of other reverb pedals out there! 😉
What kind of guitar is that?
It’s a Citizen C2
I love this content brother. Keep it up!
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nice! I really want to get some modulation effects.
Very Impressed by the "The Lab" approach! Might have to try that out!
Thanks Jimmy! I really enjoy it for the easy access to a huge variety of sounds 👌🏻
Pitch Fork always makes my boards. My favourite setting is the detune "D" with mix knob around 9 o'clock. Gives a doubler/12 string/chorus. It's barely perceptible, but it give longer chords some 3D pop.
Nice I’ll have to give this a shot!
Great video. More deep like how you do your presets on everything will be more interesting to youth someday (Worship song players). Thanks and have a blessed day
Thank you! Definitely want to make some more deep dive videos soon! 🙌🏻
Hey man. I wanna know where did you put your MBFR in your chain. Appreciate you
Of course man! I’ve got it first in the chain right now
Great breakdown of both the product and the purpose of switchers in general! The Unity6 looks awesome; if I hadn't bought a Fender Switchboard earlier this year this would be a contender for sure.
Thanks man! It really is killer. I’m sure the Fender Switchboard is killer as well! 🤘🏻
Jesus loves you ❤that was sick bro
Thanks man ❤️
Do those jet delay and reverb pedals have spillover when changing presets or does it cut off the trails when you swap? Dig the unity 6 ill definitely be getting one. Love the clean boost. I'm curious if you can use expression pedal as a volume pedal via the unity 6? Id love to have 1 expression that is sometimes volume, and sometimes delay wet / dry ratio.
I’ll have to test it again but I’m almost positive spillover still persists when changing presets on the unity6. And using an expression pedal as a volume pedal with the unity6 is actually on the roadmap. It’s not implemented yet but hopefully will be soon!
@@SamWittek thanks!
Pick attack 🔥🔥
those grip picks! 💙
...Thank you Sir for this info...Very nice but above my pay-grade...Peace...
Yeah it's definitely a hefty chunk of change. Glad you enjoyed the video though 🙏🏻
$549 💀
$549 is def a big chunk of change but I honestly think it's pretty on par for what you get, and compared to similar offerings out there. For example the RJM PBC/6X is $799 brand new
Cool to see some more content on the Unity. I pre-ordered one but have not yet gotten around to building the board yet, but I’m going to start it this week. Super psyched!
Nice! I'm pumped for you, I was surprised by how easy it was to get set up. Best of luck with the build! 🤘🏻
Any recommendations on using a Rat type pedal for church music?
You totally could! I’m sure that’d be great for heavier gain rhythm stuff. There’s tons of good Rat style drives out there
The Kilt is a P&W staple for the rat sound. It’s based of the Expandora pedal from the 90’s, which is loosely based off the Rat. There’s plenty of cheap small rat clones out there as well.
Just use a normal ProCo RAT! Don’t overdo the distortion, turn the tone and level up around 3 o’clock and you’re cooking. The higher the tone the darker it is, so you can get it to sit with your band however you’d like
How is your stomp tap blue?
When it’s receiving midi clock it turns blue
Nice man!
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks very much Sam.
Hi Sam, Thank you for your reply. I don't have any other pedals/equipment. I am just starting out at 72 years young. Take care.
Love it! Yeah it should work totally fine. The only thing I'd be wary of is running too much gain from the amp. If you're running the amp set to a very high gain, then things might sound a little blown up with the reverb going IN to a very dirty amp
Yep Pitch fork. I thought it will not last long in my board. But I'm still using for almost 7yrs
I thought the same thing haha, it's so versatile
sounds so good
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Guitar 🎸 sounds 👌
🤌🏻🤌🏻
Thy strength of tone be-ith in thine fingers 😎👌🏼👍🏻🤙🏻

By any chance would know where I can get my Jet Lamb pedal fixed ??
Have you tried reaching out to Junior over at Jet Pedals?
Great sound !
Thanks man! 🙏🏻

Bethel calling the Holy Spirit “like the genie from Aladdin” makes me not wanna do any of their songs.
Who said that?? 😂

Hey Sam, what capo are you using? No matter what capo I use on electric I always have tune. So Capoing mid song means tuning under pressure😅
I use the Shubb steel string capo I highly recommend it. I use the same tuning issues and this cleared it up. You can adjust the tension of the capo on it
Had*
I'm using the G7th capo here, by far the best capo I've ever used!
Dang Sam! Another great video man! Ever since I first heard this song I've been obsessed with that bridge line. As soon as i saw you posted a video on it, I knew you kill it and make it look easy; I was not wrong haha!
Thanks so much! That bridge line is so fun ❤
Your tone sounds amazing! Can you help me chose the right amp for my room? I'm looking for stereo left and right. Rig doctor helped me with my board previously. I have mastermind pbc, big sky, mobius, timeline, cali76, morning glory, sick as, kilt, pog, cloudburst, avalanche run. I also have iridium amp pedal. Not sure if I need studio speakers or 2 amps left & right? My pedalboard has left & right output
Thanks! There’s really so many options you could go, it comes down to personal preference. Are you wanting to stick with modelers as opposed to real amps? If that’s the case, the iridium really is great and you could run a stereo rig with it. I use 2 ToneXs in stereo and really like them. As far as monitoring, you could go with studio monitors, or use something like the Slowgear Electronics Headphone Amp if you want to practice quietly. Hope this helps!
thanks for the video! that delay🔥🔥
Thanks man! 🤘🏻
Love this tutorial Sam! We need more solid electric guitar *tutorials* like you do 🔥🤘🏻
Thanks so much dude! 🙏🏻
Love that I got the camera arm in the shot RIGHT where my hand is 🤦🏻♂haha sorry guys!
It was spot on! 😅💪🏻
FIRST!!!!! You’re the man dude 🙌🏼 Tone is spot on. Blessings to you Would love to see you make some line 6 stuff been waiting years for you to do that
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻I'm actually in the process of making some stuff for the Stomp! I want to make sure I really love it before launching it, but that's coming soon 👀
@@SamWittekcount me on the list to buy!!! Your right up there with all the pro’s dude will gladly pay for your tones!! 🎉🎉
@@rigoruiz-JESUSISKING Thanks for the support man 🫶
Would you like to share how you creat Chorus on Chroma Console? Do you prefer using the vibrato or pitch?
Yep I have the chorus dialed in using the Pitch function!
Hi Sam, Thank you very much for your intuitive video. I am thinking of buying a Bigsky, I'm learning the guitar and I have a Roland cube amp and a Fender Stratocaster. I'm new to all of this and I would be grateful if you could tell me if the Bigsky would work with what I've got and would I have to buy special cables etc. I thank you in anticipation of your kind consideration and look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards. Greg.
Hey Greg, that’s awesome! The BigSky would definitely work with what you’ve got, and you wouldn’t need any special cables, just regular patch cables would do the job. Are you running any other pedals or would you just be running into the BigSky, and then into the amp from there?
Hi Sam Many thanks for your reply. No I don't have any other pedals/equipment. I am just starting out at 72 years young.
I've watched 20 Tonex videos, this one is by far the best.
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻
Bro how much u spend on this board!?
Are you using TS cables or TRS for input and output?
I'm using regular TS patch cables. Mono in and stereo out!
TONE
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Wow. Julia’s back and the Kilt? Just get a bigger board already and put them all on there 😂😂
Haha yeahhh I really missed them 😅
Yep. That line is DOPE
For real 🔥
used this video to play this song just the other day! your tone is always on point, keep shreddin!
Thank you! Glad the video helped! 🙏🏻
It’s design for stereo ?
I built these with stereo in mind but they can definitely be used mono! You may just need to adjust the mix a bit if it's too much.
@@SamWittek thanks I just bought it
@@efrainmaldonado68 Thanks for the support! Enjoy the tones 🫶
Sweet pedalboard! Where did you buy the large pot wheel for the Strymon El Capistan? I’ll been all over the web to find this type.
Thanks! I actually bought the el cap from a friend and he already had installed the large knob. Not sure where he got it from 😅
Spot on, Sam! Keep rocking, brother!
Thanks bro! 🤘🏻
