2023 PEDALBOARD for Worship Music 

When I clicked on this I thought it said "Pedalboard for Warship music" and I was totally on board.

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 ❤️

gotta love your tone brother. great board man.

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.

I love the dedication to your tone, very nice pedalboard.

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 💙🤟🏼🙏🏼

Good setup! Good job on the production of the video as well. Love the Gretsch! Keep up the good work. God Bless!

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

Very comprehensive guide over your board, man! Great tones too

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.

Love this

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

Thanks for sharing this 👍

Super helpful. I like that you demod each one as you went

very soothing and inspirational video

Sounds great AJ! 🤘🏼

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!

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.

Thank goodness for someone who builds a pedalboard with affordable pedals, unlike 99.9% of youtubers who spend thousands.

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.

“My pedalboard is done,” said no one, ever.

Nice board, nice video!!

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.

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!

Nice setup, I like it.

Excellent video all around!

Thanks for the video. Very informative. I am just starting out. Looking forward to seeing your next informative tip. Stay Blessed.

I am a blind guitar player just starting out, Thank's for the idea's for a good pedal board.

Man that subtle setting with the octave sounded cool

Keep up the great work. Your 40th sub!! Sounds great.

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

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.

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.

Say AJ. I’m down here in Tyler, TX, just down the road from you. Great job on your video.

Great video!

Nice man! Looks and sounds great

"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

Pretty cool mate

Boss gang rise up

nice video bro

Nice job

It’s a great board, love that Gretsch too 🤟🏽

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

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!

“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!

Dude you play in Dallas!? Same!! We need to link up !! Hit me up!

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

Good job on your video and board. I will say as guitar players we are never done searching for the perfect tone . lol

i wish i have volume pedal, i never ever own tried volume pedal i also used my pedalboard fo church

A suggestion for cheap delay: Vox DelayLab.

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?

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

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?

Nice board and video! I just wanted to know if your delay and reverb are connected before or after the Iridium.

Does it noisy having both digital effect and analog pedals?

What's the difference between digital and analog and can you have both on a pedal board?

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)

Have you had any success making the RV5 modulated mode with the RV500?

What patch cables are you using? The black ones connected to the DD-500?

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

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.

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?

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

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.

Are u using a summing from reverb to the amp?

Do you suggest preamp when church doesn't have amp on stage?

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?

I'm new to tuner pedals, but I thought they were supposed to be first in the chain?

nice content bro! does the morning glory always goes first before the other od pedals?

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.

So what does your Iridium go out to when not at a gig/church?

i frick with it keep it up

What do you use to power the board? Great video by the way!

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.

Great video, man! What is the actual pedalboard that you are using as a base?

You need a hatsune miku pedal on that board. Some real nice tones, especially for church.

You have ton try UA the Dream instead of the Iridium

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?

What power supply are you using and what brand of pedal board

How do you power them up?

What amp do you use at your church

I will 100% say this every time. The DD-500 is better than the Strymon BigSky.

Figured I’d be the 130th subscriber if you don’t mind. 😉😊

To build this board from scratch today would cost £2500. It's not as cheap as you imply at 1:15.

I subscribed so it wouldn't say 666 subscribers. :) plus I like the content.

What is the actual pedalboard/power supply?

How many pounds does this pedalboard weigh?

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.

do you have a dual mono ts cable to stereo trs going to the iridium input? Great video!

Hello

Of course this dude likes JHS as a company

What’s to like abt JHS unless you’re from the South and in the P&W “scene”?! I’m Christian too but but I can’t get behind that guy, and his stuff isn’t keeping up w the features other companies offer

“I hate srtymon a lot” but using a replica setting? 😅

why not a helix
