So many crappy and empty comments folks! Just enjoy the video. Thanks for sharing Jeffrey. Huge inspiration for many. 6 years ago I was hoping to have more resources to learn about this. Worship music is something else. Thanks again.
I've seen many great pedalboard rundowns,. but this Jeffrey,.was a thorough review. Even getting into the software. This was Great. You can tell you love and understand your gear. This shows when on stage for sure. Thank you.
All these people saying that the board is too coimplicated...this guy has to cover so much sonic ground with the different styles of worship music Jesus culture plays. So yeah he's going to have a big pedal board....
Jose Gutierrez just clean, overdrive, high gain. Maybe compression for funk. The rest for blues, rock and pop. Idk anything about your worship groups. It’s seems like a cult to me.
Thanks for sharing your gear with us my brother. It's nice to see the gear that fellow minstrels like to use for the purpose of the Kingdom. I all sounds so good, even from a mixing engineers sonic prospective. Very nice, and well put together.
@jeffrey Kunde what kind of pickups do you have in your white falcon? I know they are tv jones but which ones, love your tone and I would love to replicate it as much as I can xx
Great video. Love the idea of preparing everything at home and then being relaxed during the gig. Any chance you would ever make your Strymon presets available for download? I'd even pay for them. It would save me so much time I don't really have to dial things in.
How do you fly with this thing? I have a big and heavy pedalboard too and I can't take it on a plane. I'm too afraid they'll bust my flightcase and who knows what else inside (a lot of stuff can happen when you throw a 25+ kilos thing around), plus, they open the pedalboard and tear everything apart sometimes. I just can't stand that.
Nice thanks for that one love seeing this kinda stuff - how are you integrating Ableton into this? Does that receive a midi clock too? And Are you using it for loops?
Cool stuff! Looks like a good way to have all the great sounds of those unique pedals combined with the comfort and usability a multi-effects box would give you, when it comes to syncing bpm and creating pre-made patches. I'll stick with my little box (newest from zoom at the moment) that gives me all this functionality in a compact one-piece board with a little less brilliance in the tone department but good enough for my needs :)
Hi Jeffrey, i just want to say that I really love the album: Living with a fire. I was there for a live worship session in MN and it was amazing! As for the recorded studio guitar sounds from the past and present, I prefer the past guitar sounds. Its so much fuller and you can feel the guitar plucks and the tones were so amazing with the past studio recordings. Living with a fire studio album was really light and didnt cut through the mix and did not have the presence like your previous album recordings. Thats just my report on the new album sound, but I love you guys!! Cant wait to see Jesus Culture again in MN!!!!!
Hey Jeffrey I'm looking for the video episode 4 - delay and reverb pedal... It was removed from RU-vid I really need that video!! Can you please provide? Thanks
My Mexican Strat has Texas Special pups, which gives them all a slightly warmer sounding twang, like blues vs country. It's also wired up such that I have tone control, instead of just leaving it wide open.
A compressor, with blend, like the xotic can calm highs. Also, many drive pedals can help with eq. I have separate drive pedals for my bridge pickup, and my neck. Very different tones and EQ needed. Back tone knob on my strat is wired to the bridge, instead of the middle. You can wire it to one or both, but I never need the middle tone changed. On the bridge, the tone is only at 6-7 usually. That is probably the best solution for a bright bridge. There's also bridge strat pickups designed to be less bright, like the DiMarzio ds-1. That's what The Edge uses and his style of playing is one of the forerunners to modern worship. Good luck
I love the fact that he did this video n he gets great tone with his gear. He's more of a gear kind of player, and Lincoln Brewster is an all around musician that can play on a cardboard box with rubber bands, while still making it sound awesome. Both are good, one just relies on gear to make him sound good. 😁
Really impressive. But I would be so stressed on a gig worrying if a patch cable fails how the hell do I trouble shoot quickly. My big board is 9 pedals and with that I pack a backup mini board with 4 pedals. And I've had to use it a few times.
It's definitely the BJF - the hand wired ones literally say 'hand wired' instead of BJF. Go look them up - there's only a £30 difference here in the UK, so it's not crazy. edit: pause at 8:13 if you're still wondering which is being used here.
Yes. But it might not possibly send out CC midi commands. I'm not sure. But I think he likes that the quartz is continually sending out the tempo. The PCB probably only sends out the tempo when the presets is first selected.
The quartz can be programmed to send a specific number of beats after a preset is engaged. Meaning, once a preset is selected, you can have it send out 4 clicks, or 6 or keep on going indefinitely. But I would say if left on indefinitely, you're working that mechanical relay pretty hard and might decrease lifespan.
PBC can do that as well. It can send tempo via MIDI clock, MIDI CC, or analog momentary jack. Tempo can come from your active preset, or your active song, or manually from a button configured to tap tempo.
Correct, the PBC does this. You can assign tempo on a per preset or per song basis. It works great, in my experience. I'm curious to know why he uses the quartz as well? I would guess it's something he was used to using before he got the PBC, but maybe there are more practical reasons.
My best guess is that the quartz is continually sending the bpm's as long as it's on that preset. Where as the PCB only sends the tempo out once. He mentioned with the one Chase Bliss pedal that the rate knob wouldn't even work. Maybe he likes it this way for somewhat of an insurance.
These “worship musicians” talk about their gear but never talk about their faith or how they got into the church. I often wonder if they even believe in what there songs talk about. I would like to see a video about their personal walk with God, if they even have one.
Maybe because it is a Pedal Board Rig Rundown information video? If they believe or not based on song lyrics just pray for them often. We all get through bad times in which is the Faith that Keep us on our feet, but the doubt is there. The faith, God's Word fighthing in our minds which doubts every second consciously or unconscionly. Also a search on RU-vid like Jeffrey Kunde testimony could help you on your matter. Have a great day, God Bless you!
I am not sure that "91" is really a year that is particularly descriptive or significant in terms of strat-lore. There was a time when old guitars were often good mainly because they were pre CBS and someone still cared. But these days I see kids buying common late 70s, 80s and 90s strats as "vintage instruments" for outrageous sums, and they're very often just standard to crap versions of a strat with some years on them.
Is there any heart to any of this? Sounds like midi and a computer controls it all. Learn to say what you need to say without all this mess in front of everything. He's done all this to make it sound like he's running through an axe FX. Hope he pays his tech well.
pawan kumar I'm pretty sure if he could get the tones out of a helix rather than spend thousands in pedals he would! But you can get fairly close- nothing digital is gonna sound quite as rich though.
Jeremy B but I tried though it's sounds close but not that good like pedal. I tried in other processor of line 6 but not in helix that's y I had a dought..
Bugged me too. I believe its Let it Echo, but sounds very much like Coldplay and Chainsmokers - Something Just like This. Which in turns sounds to me like something from Calvin Harris..
not knocking the guy but those 3 gain pedals really are a waste of real estate on his board why not just have 1 pedal and use the volume control on your guitar to control the amount of gain. strats are known for there incredible use of tonal variety but all you are showing is how your board is a lot but not really making your sound any different to just going straight into the amp.
Dude, you're funny. How volume control will turn my screamer into blues breaker, rat, distortion, fuzz, plexi drive, transparent drive? I have like 5 gain pedals, 2 of them are JHS pedals with Red Remotes, so I have 7 drive sounds to cover all the possible tasks. Even John Mayer, playing one style of music, has Klon, Tube Screamer, Booster and another drive.
You grab your guitar and you grab your amp, and you're ready to go( that's when it's fun and it sounds good) To have to lug all that equipment around and plug-in and plug this in and that .And even if it's simple, a thousand effects no way.Even learning all the affects ,having all those effects at your side will clutter your creativity, . Less is so much enjoyable. ,(your guitar and a amp) . You have your signature sound you develop. .Sound is dead and tone is. alive. Sound effects are dead. .Its artificial.Your effects is great I'm not saying this is not good. But let me share some more. Naturally we go back to the roots of music. That's what our ears naturally over time crave again. It goes back to tone and just simplicity and the roots of music. Sound effects are stagnit, it's not moving enrgey around. Effects are sound, sound Is dead( no textured energy.) You get to be a more complex Better musician with less by your side (it's a good feeling it's like all this the weight gets lifted off you). when you don't have all these pedels.They wear you down takes your energy away. as the time changes people's taste changes for music and you get tired of those effects.What is true is your music. I was just trying to share wisdom but you have your band it's your trip but wait !oh that's what I wanted to share with you... see the effects are going to stay the same those effects don't change .You will. And you won't want to even create or check out new sounds . See the effects won't change but you will, and then you won't even want to listen to any effects( no matter how great they are) because what's inside of you will be so much more greater than what any effect that's dead can create. you're probably thinking how the hell is this guy now he doesn't know me that's the thing it's not catered to just fit one individual it's just how life is. That's what the music industry does it sucks us in guitar players have this curse they need to get all these sounds it's very deceiving when the whole time you didn't need all that stuff. I've heard so many pedal boards and everything basically sounds the same. it's up to you to go make refreshing new music not technology.
DradenThe Faithful Indeed brother! My post does not meant any disrespect given that I'm also a lead guitarist in our local Church 😉😀 I guess I'm just more comfortable in having a few simple (affordable) delays and overdrives. Heck my most expensive pedal's just a Fulltone Fulldrive II. Cheers!
People using pedals has nothing to do with not being able to play guitar man. It's all about the genre. The pedals give you the tone, at the end of the day they aren't worth anything if you can't play. Not to mention it takes some serious skill to set up tones the way Jeffrey does.
I could not agree more man. Nearly identical pedalboards too. Just because the genre dictates these vibes doesn't mean the technical ability of the player can't be progressive. It's all the same lead lines.
Too much stuff.. Wow.. something very pure and revealing about plugging straight in to an amp with minimal signal interference, maybe a pedal or two at most, not a lot of guys can play that stripped down.. But hey, more power to Ya with all those patches and buttons and stuff..
Eddie Parker I don't like a lot of pedals if I don't connect with them, personally, but honestly I've never had the luxury of playing in a band where they allow my amp-only tone to cut through the mix. In fact, I'd wager it's virtually impossible for me to be heard only using my amp sound. I honestly need flexibility. That's why about 90% of ppl need pedals.
Eddie Parker It's 2017, not 1957. Guitar & amp isn't quite enough anymore. Music has been evolving ever since, I know plenty of guitar players that can play just as well without a pedalboard as with one.
