Worship Guitar Pedalboard Rig Rundown - Jon Holt 

I would appreciate a deep dive on Gt-1000 Core. It deserves a run through by a person that actually uses it in a worship context. It is also healthy for the market & for the players to have options for their context & needs.

@@benjaminkoskinen5835 Me too.

​@@benjaminkoskinen5835 1 up for this please. :)

By the way. If you have a gt 1000 amp presets with at least a reverb or a delay. Im buying at least 5 presets. Automatic! Your tone is amazing!!!

Thank you so much! That's really my goal. Worshiping Jesus is the most important part! Playing guitar well and having fun are important, but secondary.

Definitely planning on doing a full breakdown video of the PBC! Glad you found this video informative and inspirational! 🙌

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! There’s definitely more coming 🤙

Thanks! Hope you got some inspiration and ideas from it!

Thanks bro! I appreciate your kind words, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Really appreciate your support. God bless! 🙏

Haha complete nonsense 🤣 can't believe I left that part in the video honestly lol glad you enjoyed the video tho! Yeah, the Zoia and PBC are two pedals that I could talk about for hours and not even scratch the surface of what they're capable of, so I'll definitely be doing a dedicated video for each of them. Empress makes some great stuff, and the zoia is unlike any other pedal currently! I love their stuff and wish I could've fit even more of it on this board. Maybe you'll see some other stuff on my next board!

Thank you! God bless 🙌

That’s awesome! The GT 1000 Core is a super capable pedal! And it’s crazy how much it can do, especially when you deep dive into midi with it.

1 up for these. Which cabs and amps. Even a preset/ IR patch sample might be. Either standalone or with extra pedals. I'll buy it. :)

Yeah, I'll definitely do a deeper dive on the Boss GT pedal! It's got some interesting quirks, but I really like it overall. It's definitely a modeling pedal first with the effects being the bonus aspect of the pedal. I haven't messed around with the reverb on it too much yet, but it has everything their RV500 would have. I've always felt like Boss reverbs are more accurate simulations of real reverbs and less artificial "ethereal" types, with the exception being their shimmer verb. But my go-to reverb was a plate reverb from the RV500 for years, and the GT1000 Core has that in there too, so it's definitely not lacking. The Skylar has the same verbs that I use in the Specular Tempus, so if you like my reverb tones, you'll love the Skylar. GFI definitely gets more into that ethereal realm of reverbs for sure. I think the biggest weakness of the Boss over the HX Stomp is the UI. The HX stomp makes it super easy to edit FX and presets on the pedal. Boss is a bit more menu scrolling and finicky, but that type of stuff doesn't bother me much, so for me it's worth it. But for some people the simple UI on the HX Stomp is a huge selling point.

@@JonHoltMusic yes. I have HX stomp in asia. But now in Germany and serving church. The price difference between core and hx stomp brandnew is 200 euros. Lol. I def agree. If i get pass through the editing stuffs! Im excited to get this combo man with skylar. Looking forward to your videos with GT1000. subscribing! And killer tones as always!

Of course! I hope they were helpful and insightful!

Cameraman Chris! The real LEGEND! 🔥

I'll definitely show an in-depth look into that in its own video, but I run stereo into the GT-1000Core, and I can switch wether or not I want my wet FX before or after the GTK with the Mastermind switcher. But TYPICALLY I run my wet FX stereo into the front of the GTK. It sounds more "live" that way. Running them after the amp sounds more "studio", so it just depends on what I'm going for.

I just bought a cheap(ish) hub off of amazon. A normal hub will work fine. I also got a usb extension cord so I can run it a few feet away to my laptop.

It's definitely worth it in my opinion! I would much rather spend time building a preset before rehearsal once for every new song, than have to dance around the pedalboard every single time we play that song. It completely helps me focus more on worship and less on performance. 🙌 Switchers can be expensive, but if you save up for it over time, it's a purchase you won't regret. I'll never build another pedalboard without one again!

I switch presets with midi commands between songs/sections depending on what I need, but I usually find myself choosing the green (country) mode or the white (limiter) if I need some super compressed, but it just depends. The different modes had different attack times, so I’ll change depending on how much squash I want to hear up front.

Yeah! The hub is being powered by the usb c port from my engine room power supply. I just got a cheap Sabrent hub off of Amazon and everything worked great. It’s low profile enough to fit underneath some of the cable runs for my midi box.

@@JonHoltMusic thanks man!

Im going to do a full breakdown of this pedal soon! But yeah, the amps are great and it definitely does have all the legacy boss fx as well. I think it’s an amazing pedal that just has some software issues and pains. But if you have the patience to figure out the software, then you’ll love it!

Definitely planning on giving the GT1000 Core its own video! I’ve been switching between a few different profiles on it over the last year or two, but only certain ones have the AIRD algorithm, and I find that those have the best feel. But I’ll definitely dive into that soon! Glad you enjoyed the video!

It’s a very capable pedal 🙌 planning to do a full review soon, but yes, it comes with a bunch of classic boss effects.

That’s wild! Definitely a lucky find! As far as I’m aware, the only morning glory batch with that design and was publicly sold online was the V3. Any V4s out there are most likely individually made to order for special requests, so that’s sick that you found it in a GC somewhere! Turns out my friend’s that I mentioned is a v4 too! He said he got it custom ordered as well.

@@JonHoltMusic Wow that means someone nearby me ordered it then sold it to GC at a crazy loss, I think I paid about $130 for it. I knew about the V3 batch being a limited edition which is why I grabbed this at first sight but I didn't know it was so rare to have a V4 in this color. Thanks for the info my dude!

Yeah! There’s a lot of places that you can buy them, and I’ve heard good things about the boss one! I just really wanted cables that were the exact length that I needed for my board and it was easier to make my own with some spare parts laying around than it was to spend more money on prebuilt cables. But if building cables isn’t your thing, there’s a bunch of great options out there. My issue was more so that there’s way too many types of midi with no standard (some pedals receive signal from the tip channel, some receive from the ring channel, etc). And when pedals all have different standards and connection types it makes pairing other pedals together a big problem that you need to figure out yourself.

@JonHoltMusic right on! I appreciate the content as always :)
