When I clicked on this I thought it said "Pedalboard for Warship music" and I was totally on board.
You’re making me think of that guy in the last Mad Max movie that was strapped to the front of that vehicle with the flamethrower guitar
On board ship
He’s probably 5x better than you. You have to be really good to play in churches.
@@colinreese This is a weirdly antagonistic response to people who are having a laugh about someone misreading a video description. “5x better than you”?! Who cares
Stop worshiping. It’s so cheesy
the “d-c-v” on the Julianna is actually one of the most powerful aspects of it. It’s essentially a blend control that does from “dry” to “chorus” to full “vibrato”.
Awesome video and keep rocking on in Jesus’ name. God bless, brother ❤️
I was curious about that knob and their site says that it affects the wet/dry on the mono signal. Didn’t he say he runs stereo out of it? I wonder if that disables that knob?
I love the dedication to your tone, very nice pedalboard.
Great video! I have the sub n up and Dd500 as well. It is videos like yours that help new worship musicians learn more how gear is used in that setting.
Really like your pedalboard and the sounds you get. I don't play worship music but I like these tones a lot and it's very ambient, just what I like to play myself.
Love this
Thanks for sharing this 👍
very soothing and inspirational video
Good setup! Good job on the production of the video as well. Love the Gretsch! Keep up the good work. God Bless!
Very comprehensive guide over your board, man! Great tones too
Sounds great AJ! 🤘🏼
Super helpful. I like that you demod each one as you went
Thanks for this video! I have been searching for someone to explain boards with a worship focus in mind.
I’ve got a Katana 100 at the moment which I fully rely on for all my effects, and I’m hoping to start building a board soon! This was extremely helpful, even down to explain where the stereo pedals start in your chain!😃
All for his glory 💙🤟🏼🙏🏼
I enjoyed this video a lot. Very well done with lots of explanation showing who you are while still showing and highlighting each pedal. You made me want to go out and buy pedals lol.
Thank you. Most informative. I'm a headrush guy and getting pretty similar tones. I thought your explanations and direction were great. Jerod South Africa
Nice board, nice video!!
Very nice tone.. the way you play the guitar makes everything sound great.. nice guitar too... amp Modelers in a Stmp is great.. I'm starting to use my computer for Amp modeling and it sound great too. much better than all the pedals I have tried.. Great video.. it shows you have done your Homework
Excellent video all around!
Thank you!
Marvelous choices! Also, I love Fort Worth. Just went from California and it made just want to leave here and move forever. God bless, man!
Man that subtle setting with the octave sounded cool
Nice setup, I like it.
Nice board man!!! I have and older model of that Gretsch and I love it. A G5422T in red. I have the RV-500 and I want to grab the DD-500. Sounds like a match made in heaven.
gotta love your tone brother. great board man.
Thanks for the video man. I just started playing E.guitar for my church and have no idea what I’m doing 😅. I didn’t even know about guitar pedals till a few months ago and now I need a board and it’s overwhelming. So thanks again!
Don’t let it overwhelm you! It’s more important to be a good guitarist rather than have gear so focus on that! For pedals, I would start with a compressor, overdrive, and delay then work your way up from there!
Great presentation! I was thinking that your basic tone had the Morning Glory on, but that was the Strymon Iridium with just a bit of grit dialed in (and the JHS Compressor)...really love that tone.
Thank goodness for someone who builds a pedalboard with affordable pedals, unlike 99.9% of youtubers who spend thousands.
Yeah the 3 on top took a while to save up for but everything else was used or less than $130 (I think).
Thank you for sharing your setup and explaining why you use each pedal followed by demonstration. I spent about 6 months just listening to different electric guitars and decided that I wanted a Gretsch 4 months ago (still saving up for mine). I’ve been leaning toward the Pod 6 Go as I’ve been researching pedal boards since it seemed to be compact, light-weight and everything that was needed for a nominal price. Now that you have demonstrated pedal by pedal, I will take some more time to think about whether I really want the compact, lighter weight option.
If you are really interested in playing electric guitar, I would say get a pedalboard that has room to grow. That way you aren’t limited by the size of your board in the future. Have fun experimenting with pedals!
Thank you for the comment 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I am just starting out. Looking forward to seeing your next informative tip. Stay Blessed.
I’m thinking about making videos again. What kind of tips would be helpful to you? :)
I am a blind guitar player just starting out, Thank's for the idea's for a good pedal board.
“My pedalboard is done,” said no one, ever.
Nice job
Keep up the great work. Your 40th sub!! Sounds great.
Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
Sometimes I miss all the different pedals. But I switched to the Helix a few years ago, and don't think I could ever go back. You have some nice tones for sure man
Nice video and great job on the pedalboard. It definitely looks clean and like you put some real thought into it. For reference the DCV on the Juliana D- Dry C- Chorus V- Vibrato. When you’re using both inputs of the pedal and you turn the knob all the way to “dry” your signal will split into two (Dry and 100% Wet) this works great if you’re try to do a wet/dry set up. God bless.
Interesting! That pedal is more complex than I realized! I'll have to try that out at some point.
Nice man! Looks and sounds great
Thank you!
Pretty cool mate
It’s a great board, love that Gretsch too 🤟🏽
nice video bro
Thought this was a great and very well presented and thought out video. I have the same guitar in white and the OCD and MG.
I use my compression to manage post overdrives (Keeley suggest this placement) and it helps me sit in the mix. I turn off the comp to “release” the gain.
Thank you! Sounds like you have a great setup. I’ve never tried compression after the drives… Maybe I should!
Boss gang rise up
Dude such a practical video. I liked so many things you said. I have an OCD pedal I’ve used for maybe 10 years or less. They released a version 2 a few years ago but then they went out of business in 2021 or 2022.
Also the Dunlop volume pedal was interesting. I think I might go check them out. I have a Ernie Ball volume pedal I’ve had for about 10 years as well. The string has never broke but it has a small window for volume, so doing swells has always been challenging.
Lastly regarding the amps, I have a Marshall clone that sounds amazing. I prefer the sound of a tube amp over digital but most Churches don’t want an amp on stage and want you to plug directly into the sound board. A lot of people use Kemper or Line 6 digital pedal boards for example and both sound really good. Personally I have been looking at amp and cab modulars. I have been looking at three: Strymon Iridium, Nux Amp Academy, and Universal Audio Dream ‘65 Reverb Amplifier. The Strymon is the oldest and most recommended from what I have seen, and I think I might get it for my board.
Sorry for the long comment but I really appreciate the in depth video you made. Hearing other guitar players speak about gear is really helpful. Also the white board is a really cool idea. Thank you for making the video.
Thank you for the comment! I love the Iridium. I plan to upload a video on Monday going more in depth on it and how I use it on stage and for recording. Maybe that will help you decide!
2:22 Wow you explained a compressor better than anyone else I’ve heard before. Maybe it’s overly general and there is a difference between it and a limiter, but it simply describes why people use one.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nice pedalboard, brother. I still use the OCD on one of my pedalboards, but replaced the morning glory for a Wampler Pantheon. God bless
Keep that OCD forever! It will be a collector’s item one day!
Awesome vid! Have you considered using the strymon sunset? It's a dual overdrive distortion pedal with really good analog drives. Should fit right in your OCD and morning glory
Great video, I'm so tickled your using the same model Gretsch that I have! I've been looking for a newer more versatile chorus pedal to replace my old MXR and I think you have turned me on to that Walrus!
I love that Gretsch! I used to have a cheap telecaster so the Gretsch was a big upgrade. The Julianna is awesome! I didn't even know all the capabilities it has before I bought it and it has blown me away. Especially that stereo widener effect you can get out of it. Definitely recommend!
“The compressor doesn’t change the dynamics of my playing”… that’s literally the opposite of what compressors DO. 😂
But overall great video and great board. The sounds you’re getting are killer. Keep it up!
haha fair point! I just don't want it to affect it too much so that I can still play with some dynamics. And thank you!
A suggestion for cheap delay: Vox DelayLab.
i wish i have volume pedal, i never ever own tried volume pedal i also used my pedalboard fo church
Say AJ. I’m down here in Tyler, TX, just down the road from you. Great job on your video.
Texas bros! Thank you!
The dd-500 was fine for me, but I could never dial in a good sound with the rv-500. So good job with that! Other issue was, if they were on for a long period of time like 4 hours or so, they stopped working. Which happened a couple times right before an event. Had to unplug, wait overnight and they worked again. So I went to the Strymons. Good sounding board though
It definitely takes some time to get the right sound. My DD-500 has been acting weird lately… forgetting presets and BPMs. I’m not sure what’s wrong but I like the pedal for the most part!
Dude you play in Dallas!? Same!! We need to link up !! Hit me up!
"Don't get the Strymon...my next pedal, is this amazing Strymon" lol. Great video, tho. Very nice set up and order. I'm trying to reorder my pedalboard (always) and this was very helpful. Thank you
Haha don't get the Big Sky ;) but that is just my preference. Thanks for watching!
Good job on your video and board. I will say as guitar players we are never done searching for the perfect tone . lol
Thank you! I’ve been working on it for 8 years…
As a fellow DD-500 + RV-500 user, here's a huge tip I recommend:
You can run a CTRL switch (Saturnworks sells them for a fair price) into your DD-500, and then run your DD-500's MIDI out into your RV-500's MIDI in. Now you have the ability to cycle through patches on both your RV-500 and DD-500 with one click!
I use this live by keeping both pedals on the entire set, but whenever there's a section of a song I don't want to have reverb / delay on, I just set the patch's effect levels to be at 0!
Also, there's a program on your computer that lets you edit your 500 series pedals settings, and when it comes to building out a set, this made it so much easier (i.e. my "dry patches" I can just copy and paste where needed)
That’s a great idea! I just need to find room for another switch on my board…
@@ajlindseymusic The switches are super duper small! You could most likely fit one between your RV-500 & Iridium and still have room for the marker! (or you could stick your marker to the underside of your board since you'll likely not need it mid set!)
I don't think most people would call a morning glory a clean boost Sure you can use it that way, but you can use basically any pedal with a volume pot as such. It's a bluesbreaker clone, which is definitely an overdrive and most people would almost certainly use it with some hair on the drive pedal. Otherwise, it's a 200 dollar volume pot lol. A morning glorified if you will.
Not meaning to be pedantic, but those options for the switch on the chorus are sine wave, sawtooth or triangle wave, and random. It’s basically how smoothly it modulates the sound
I’m not great with technical terms haha. I’ll try to remember that!
That’s a great board, luv the white board. Not seeing strymon is cool too…. Very unique! But why didn’t you talk about your direct box? Is it essential for gigs? Can any speaker function as a monitor?
Good question. I don't own any DI boxes and the places I go usually provide them so I didn't think to talk about it. When playing live, I run stereo out of my Iridium into either a stereo DI box or 2 separate ones for left and right. If you skip to 29:50 in the video, you can see the stereo DI box I use at church with "ELEC 2" written on it.
When I am at home, the Iridium has a headphone jack that I can use when I am rehearsing. Alternatively, I can plug the left and right outputs (1/4") directly into 2 powered studio monitors if I want the sounds to come out of speakers. OR I can run the Iridium in Mono and just use 1 speaker.
To record, I plug a stereo headphone cable from the Iridium into the first two inputs of my audio interface and pan them left and right in the DAW.
Hope this helps!
Great video. So from the Iridium Amp Modeler- where does the signal go? I assume to the PA system at the church? Also- if you had a looper- where would you place it?
Nice board and video! I just wanted to know if your delay and reverb are connected before or after the Iridium.
Both my delay and reverb are before the Iridium. This is so that I can plug headphones into the Iridium and hear all the effects. I wish I could put the chorus, delay, and reverb after the Iridium but then I couldn't use headphones when I am practicing. Hope this helps!
For enquiring minds, chorus, phase and flanging are different versions of the same property of sound waves. It's called cancellation and reinforcement (kinda like rouge waves in the ocean). In all 3 effects, a copy of the original input is made, delayed by 7 to say 150 milliseconds and mixed back in. If left alone this would essentially be ADT. But Noooooo, some smart ass had to put the copy through an LFO that changes the delay time. This movement in the delay time the frequencies that are being canceled or reinforced to change and give you the classic swirl.
Dead simple really! #sarcasm Only because I've worked in electrical engineering for a bit do I know this and use it in creating tones.
Can you make a video how you hook up the parch cables in order and also power cables. All of the in detail if thats not to much to ask. Thanks
That’s a great idea! I’ll get started on that and should post it next Monday.
Does it noisy having both digital effect and analog pedals?
Question: I usually switch between my Strat and my gretch duojet, but my stray is soooo quiet compared to the gretch. Where would you put a clean boost in that signal chain?
I would put it first! I don't know if that is the correct answer but I imagine sending more signal to all my pedals wouldn't hurt. You could also try after the drives but I definitely think it should go before any wet effects.
You have ton try UA the Dream instead of the Iridium
I never understood why people wouldn't just use something like a Fractal Audio FM9 or similar instead of this many pedals - it might even cost less money!
I think the sound is *almost* there, as well, especially with a Fractal.
Personal preference? His board doesn't have that many pedals at all. It really just covers the basics. As he mentioned, he can be the only EG on stage so he needs to be versatile. Buying and selling pedals offers a change of scenery too.
When I think of Fractals or Kempers I think of the high learning curve to learn how to use them. I'm not very techie.
i frick with it keep it up
Not in my Christian pedalboard comment section
What's the difference between digital and analog and can you have both on a pedal board?
Awesome video. What is the size of your pedalboard? Just trying to measure what else I can fit on my 22 inch if I add the Boss DD-500 and RV-500. Thanks
pedalplayground.com you should check out this website! It helps you design a board. I no longer have this board so idk what the dimensions were.
I will 100% say this every time. The DD-500 is better than the Strymon BigSky.
I'm new to tuner pedals, but I thought they were supposed to be first in the chain?
Every pedal that is in your chain will add some noise, even if it’s a small amount. So, I prefer for my tuner to be out of my signal chain. That is why I have it splitting off of my volume pedal. The signal that goes to my tuner does not go to my amp (the Iridium). If I need to use the tuner, I turn off my octave pedal and overdrives so that the tuner is not influenced by them. Hope this helps!
AJ thanks for an awesome rundown! Literally bought the DD-500 last week and it should be here any day. 😂
My setup is similar to yours, but I’m curious, what do you use to power it?
The DD-500 is great! I use a 1-Spot Pro for power.
@@ajlindseymusic Thanks for the reply, my friend!
You need a hatsune miku pedal on that board. Some real nice tones, especially for church.
To build this board from scratch today would cost £2500. It's not as cheap as you imply at 1:15.
That’s a good point. It felt cheaper because I slowly bought these pedals over 8 years. Some of them were used and some were gifted to me not functional and I got them fixed (i.e. the Morning Glory). It could also be a lot more expensive if I had bought other pedals. But you are right, a board like this is definitely an investment!
Even second hand?
Do you run your delay and reverb before or after your iridium? I run mine before because of the “room” knob not sounding great into delay and reverb, so I basically treat it like an amp. But a lot of players do the opposite.
If I could run the volume pedal, chorus, delay, and reverb after the Iridium, I would. BUT then I wouldn't be able to use the headphone jack on the Iridium when I am rehearsing at home; I would only hear the pedals that are before the Iridium, not the wet effects. Because of that, the Iridium is at the end of my signal chain and I treat it like an amp.
I am planning to make a video that goes more in depth about how and why I use the Iridium so hopefully that can help clear things up!
@@ajlindseymusic ah yeah. You’d need an audio interface to use headphones in that situation.
@@ajlindseymusic
I would like to know more about how to use an Iridium. I keep looking at them, lol. I just got a pair of studio monitors so I'm getting closer to having enough other equipment to actually use something like an Iridium. Still don't know anything about recording with one though.
@@mr.d.572 I plan on releasing a video on Monday about how I use the Iridium both on stage and at home!
@@ajlindseymusic
Awesome! I subscribed yesterday so I will get the notification. Best to you and yours.
Have you had any success making the RV5 modulated mode with the RV500?
What do you use to power the board? Great video by the way!
I use a 1-Spot pro!
What patch cables are you using? The black ones connected to the DD-500?
George Ls. They are custom solderless cables that I made myself. There is a video on my channel where I go into details about my cables if you are interested!
Do you suggest preamp when church doesn't have amp on stage?
When I play at church, I only use what is on my board. The iridium provides all the amplification that I need. So, no. I don't think a preamp is necessary. Does that make sense?
Are u using a summing from reverb to the amp?
I use a TRS cable that maintains the stereo sound from the reverb into the 1 input on the Iridium. Like a Y cable.
So what does your Iridium go out to when not at a gig/church?
Sometimes I use the headphone jack and listen with headphones. Sometimes I plug directly into my studio monitors. The Iridium also has a feature that lets me bypass the cab sim and run out mono into my AC15. Check out this video for more info on that: ua-cam.com/video/25_ganPSpu4/v-deo.html
nice content bro!
does the morning glory always goes first before the other od pedals?
I like to keep my lower gain ODs first and higher gain ones second. That way the OCD can be influenced by the Morning Glory. However, this is not a rule. You can order the pedals any way you want.
Thanks thanks. I have a benson pre amp, a joyo vintage OD and a morning glory and im pretty new to these stuff so i dont really know how to place them.
You have to try them all out in different orders to see what you like, but ideally you would have your transparent overdrive last in your OD chain and you would put a mid-focused drive before that and a boost before that. The idea is your last gain pedal in the chain is your first stage and you work your way back in stages that push into the pedal that is next down the line. Each pedal is like a filter, the last ones in the chain are going to have the most effect on what the final sound is like. I have my Wampler Pantheon last in my drive chain and my Keely D&M Drive before that with the switch set so the boost side is first in the chain to push the two overdrives after it.
Interesting! That makes total sense. I’ll swap them and try it out.
@@ajlindseymusic some people will have their boost after drives if they want the same sound out of the drive, just louder, it's all personal preference and what works for you. To be honest, if I had a switcher I would likely just set up the drives to stand alone and then maybe run the boost into them at times to get more compression.
Great video, man! What is the actual pedalboard that you are using as a base?
Thanks! It is an old pedal train board. I don't believe they sell it anymore. :(
How do you power them up?
A 1-Spot Pro. I just released a video where I talk about my patch and power cables in detail! Feel free to check it out!
nice video mate...but as an Italian I gotta ask, what's the deal with church stuff in the US and specifically Texas? what does that mean?
Good question! The Bible says that believers in Christ should worship God in all that we do and one way to do that is through music. Every church is different but the ones I have gone to typically have a band that leads everyone in some songs about God or to God. Not as a performance but rather a chance for people to gather and sing together. Since I play guitar primarily at my church, I built my board to try to match the sounds in popular songs that we sing. For example, here is a livestream from the Christmas Eve service at my church: ua-cam.com/video/4g2UnllcdDw/v-deo.html Hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any more questions you may have. :)
As an American far from Texas, and not a very religious one, I'm not aware this is peculiar to Texas at all. Maybe Texas is different somehow, but the idea of church musicians is very ordinary. There's a demand for music in churches, and... supply is there for demand. There's nothing extraordinary about it. As far as musicians in general, there are all manner of videos out there about church or worship type music.
What power supply are you using and what brand of pedal board
Hi Anthony, I am using a 1Spot Pro power supply and a pedal train board!
@@ajlindseymusic Thank you
What amp do you use at your church
The Strymon Iridium on my board is what I use as my amp. I run out of it into a stereo DI box then straight to the soundboard.
@@ajlindseymusic Can you explain the stereo DI Box? What is the preferred model?
Figured I’d be the 130th subscriber if you don’t mind. 😉😊
I do have a question. Your signal chain, is Iridium your last pedal? Because I thought the Iridium is not a stereo pedal. Please correct me if I’m wrong, still learning myself. 🙈
Thanks for subscribing! The Iridium is a stereo pedal but you need a special cable to get it to work. This is the one I’m using: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EBSICY30--ebs-icy-30-right-angle-flat-insert-cable-30cm
So I run out of the RV500 with that cable into my Iridium.
I plan on posting a video on Monday entirely about how I use the Iridium both on stage and for recording! Hopefully that can answer some questions you may have.
So the only reason I haven’t purchased this pedal was because of the mono input I saw on the device. 😅
I live in the Middle East, and lead and direct worship at the Navy Chapel here. My pedalboard isn’t as nice as yours but it’s getting there slowly. 😂
I like that you use sweetwater to get your stuff. It’ll make my life easier when I need to purchase stuff.
Looking forward to that video! If you have an IG page too, let me know. I’m always on it, so I can have all my notifications turned on for when the next video/videos come out. 🙏🏾😊
@@jeremiahlukefernandez1641 It took me 8 years to put this board together. It's a slow process but a fun and rewarding one! My IG is @ajlindseymusic
@@ajlindseymusic followed you. 8 years! Wow. Longer than I’ve been playing the electric lol. I’m more of an acoustic guitar and piano player. 😂
I subscribed so it wouldn't say 666 subscribers. :) plus I like the content.
HA thank you for the subscription!
What is the actual pedalboard/power supply?
I use a 1-Spot Pro!
Hello
HAHA. The funniest thing I have ever heard is a guitar player saying they ''completed'' their pedal board. :) Just kidding. Thanks for the great run through.
I know what you mean… haha
10 months later and I still haven’t changed it! This setup has gotten me through a lot of gigs. I love it!
do you have a dual mono ts cable to stereo trs going to the iridium input? Great video!
How many pounds does this pedalboard weigh?
I don’t have a scale at home but it feels like it’s around 20-25 lbs.
Of course this dude likes JHS as a company
