The Worship Pedal Board

Holy Moly. The Worship Pedal Board has come such a long way from when I first started it earlier this year. I'm honestly in total shock how blessed I am to have the materials I have to make joyful music to my Jesus. I started late last year in like November, starting to collect pedals to assemble a Pedal Board. The task was not easy. I was using a POD HD300, that just came with presets and stuff. The run would end with the POD however when for whatever reason during a worship rehearsal, it stopped working.

I was really scared, because I didn't want to use my pedal board that I had been building because I was scared that my tone wouldn't be as crisp as it was before. And honestly, since I was forced to use it, it sounded terrible at first. Some of the pedals I was using at the time however, just wouldn't do me justice. I wanted to find a way to make my tone....mine. I realized that what I have been given was an opportunity. An opportunity to make the most out of the supplies I had been given. I kept on upgrading the board to my liking. It was very difficult because no one had explained to me before what anything was. What is reverb, what is delay, what is overdrive. What are good pedals to look at for Worship leading. No one ever taught me what any of that stuff meant. So through YouTube tutorials and such, I learned and grew my knowledge of what a worship pedal board should be.

It was very interesting because not only was working on the pedal board, and upgrading all my gear expensive, but it felt like it took forever to get stuff. I had just recently gotten a Timeline Delay pedal, which I upgraded from my TimeSpace Echo Delay (I do not recommend that pedal for worship leaders). It was hard to get use to using new pedals, and such. I absolutely love leading worship and the board has helped me worship Jesus with all I've got.

I really have felt Jesus use me for the past 6 months when I was making the board. I want to give people the best worship experience ever, while also worshiping Jesus myself through what I've been given. It's amazing to see how God has blessed me and will continue to bless me as a guitarist for my church.
