+Joseph Wright Here's exactly what I'd (this is Brian commenting here) do, Joseph:

Volume Pedal: Ernie Ball VP Jr
Drive: Fulltone Fulldrive 2 used (or Ibanez Tube Screamer, also used)
Reverb: Boss RV-5 (used)
Delay w/tap: Boss DD-20 (used)

Power: One Spot.

I'm actually going to move toward something more like this for the Worship Tutorials house board. The eventide stuff I have is way to overkill and not ver attainable for a lot of players. This stuff I've listed above sounds great, is versatile, and can be found very affordably on the used market.

The 'tone suck' thing is more of a function of the guitar (pickups), amp, and playing style rather than poor quality pedals. That's just my personal opinion/experience, though.

Can you guys make a budget/first pedal board video? I think it would be great to have a board recommendation with a power supply, drive and or distortion, volume pedal (PLEASE HELP US SOLVE TONE SUCK), reverb, and delay with tap tempo. I know what's out there and a lot of people do, I just think that there are probably better options than others, once again your videos are great and I love them, very helpful for people getting started in worship settings!

A really great transparent drive pedal is the JOYO Sweet Baby Overdrive (Mad Professor Sweet Honey-clone) which is my always on pedal and it's super cheap. I love that thing. Supertransparent and touch sensitive. So when u play hard, it gets crunchier and clears up the softer u play. Joyo also makes all kind of other stuff worth checking out. I'm using a Harley Benton (house brand of a big German music-stuff-retailer, called thomann) Compressor (I think it's a Ross-clone), a Boss DD20 with external Tap, an RV-6, a cheap TS-clone for dirtier sounds and an Ernie Ball VP 6166 (the big tank). I built myself a linear boost from a kit from this german DIY-site which just ...boosts... my overall signal. To start out, you could do with the Sweet Baby, then a tap tempo Delay (Boss DD-5/7/20, Echo Park, ...) and then go from there and add stuff, u feel u need next ;)

I prefer the new MXR reverb to the rv5, but everything else is spot-on.

Jonathan Denney

Or you could try a Buffer somewhere before the volume pedal. Both work well.

+Joseph Wright to solve the "tone suck" on the ernie ball volume pedals, you really need to get it modded. JHS does an awesome mod that makes them perfect.

Thanks for the rig rundown. Was searching for H9 reviews and stumbled on you video. Enjoyed it so much I subscribed. I also play, amount many, a 1990’s Japanese ‘72 Thinline. I put some new Rebel pups in it wound to original specs and yikes, it’s a tone beast now.
Not totally sold on the H9 especially where it only plays one preset at a time.
Thanks!

The reverb setting you have for slow dancing in a burning room is so spot on it's insane..

Sarah Graves

Can you please do an acoustic tutorial of "Good Good Father" by Housefires ?

Cole Chesser

Love videos like this! Great setup by the way!

Dennis Crosby

You could use the tap from your timeline to control the tempo of your h9 via midi...that way you don’t have to fiddle with tap tempos on your h9

jalguitarman

Are you running everything straight into the amp or using an effects loop? I am trying to decide if I should get a vox AC$HW which has no Effects. Or get the Egnater 15 tweeter which has an effects loop.

Chase Shatswell

Would you guys recommend a POD or would it be better to start off with like 3 kind of basic ambient pedals like delay, reverb, and overdrive?

Ryan Wright

us it your 4th pog b/c of switching it out over and over, or do they keep breaking? Just curious, b/c if they are breaking a lot, then I'll probably find me a cheaper octave pedal...

Cameron Jeffcoat

Awesome video! I love pedalboard reviews and things like this. I was wondering if you had anything you like or dislike about the Boss DD-20. I'm looking at buying one cause my budget won't allow for a Strymon, and would just like a view from an expert. Thanks:)

Fun Times and Rock Times

It was widely used for worship before strymon and empress hype came to be.

Brian Tost

Perhaps you could shelf your pedals seasonally and bring them in and out, vs selling and repurchasing timelines and pogs and such 3 to 4 times. Seems like you might save money since you know you're just going to use it again soon anyway.

Unrelated, that Cali is such a space hog! I'll bet if you opened it up, it could occupy 1/4 of that space. Much like the old big muffs.

Fsuholley

Dan from "That Pedal Show" says the Cali76 is the best Compressor around. Really expensive but I might have to get one!

Jordan Parker

What are the settings for your dotted eighth, and deluxe memory man settings

this is awesome! do more of these!

pjssalerno

Does the KTR play nice with the Strymons? Any issues with the charge pump creating added noise in your delays?

Flip Johnson

How did you get that very last sound where the repeats and volume were building up until you released the pedal?

Jesus Liendo

Great board bro!!

Kevin Plays Guitar

You go through pedals like nothing, 3 for this pedal and 4 of this pedal and so on. lol Great setup :)

John Nozzi

9y↑1

Bradford! Could you walk through what you dial in to set up your DMM patch and your Slow Dance patch on those two strymons?

Either way, how hard is it to make all those presets? I've got the Timefactor and space and I just use the existing presets because the knobs scare me lol. I only ever use digital delay and usually dotted 8 so I wanna explore the world of analog and I'd be willing to trade my eventides for strymons as I've heard they do it better.

MK Ultra Productions

You know what sounds better than a timeline on DMM mode? A real live analog big box Deluxe Memory Man. Who would of thought? Keep the space, get a real DMM to go with it, thank me later.

WilliamShattner

That is a sweet tone.

Agreed. I would really like to get those timeline settings.

John Ou

nice sounds with the reverb. i picked up a TC hall of fame, but it really stinks in comparison. i've been avoiding spending the money on a timeline and a strymon reverb, but i think i might have to now.

Nutty Laurel

Love the john mayer stuff haha... Im a big fan of JM!

Jeremy Cox Creates

Just got a big sky and I'm in love, working on getting my presets set. can you give me the settings that slow dance one? Im guessing thats the spring?

Viktor Kunkel

I see some videos here in youtube where they put the Timeline before the Big Sky. But i ever thought that it is better to put delay after reverb in the chain?

Alexfzg99

Your video is very informative. Thank you so much

7y↑2

how on earth do you go through 4 timelines, like really now man.

Patrick Rosington

Cause they sound awful. But people who blindly follow the hype train cant help it and need one on their board. An old timefactor sounds much better. And thats not even the greatest. Tonal recall, volante, decco, belle epoch deluxe, empress, and many others just destroy the timeline sadly. Most strymon pedals are beyond hyped and not that great. The volante. El cap, decco and truly pretty wonderful tho. And the dig was cool. But not my thing.

Alex Oliveira

Is it possible for you to share strymon timeline presets with me?

OwensboroHSM

What reverb setting (cloud, bloom, hall, plate) do you use for You make me brave?

Bradford Mitchell

+OwensboroHSM i've only done that song a few times. and i did it different each time I'm sure. but i like to use the hall and just make it huuuuuge.

@Chris Simmons I have not. I'm sure I would like it but I use the H9 for the things I would use the mobius for. It let's use octave stuff and I can get Eventide's Blackhole setting among other sweet things if I'd like.

Daniel Hernandez

Can u make a tutorial on how te create or change prestes on de eventide h9 thanks amd blessings

It rounds out sound so, in a vague explanation, it makes quieter sounds louder and loud sounds quieter

Jerard Castro

Mykyta Panarin

7y↑1

That's because you have to hear one in person. It's not day & night difference to begin with and then youtube compresses the video once again while uploading. So it is very hard to judge compressors by youtube videos. However Cali76 are the best no doubt :)

Matt Baggett

What's the settings on that Pog?

Caleb Dutton

Wish i had the money to build a padel board!!!!!

When you used a deep six could you not get the same compressed tone as this one? What are the pros and cons of when you used the deep six?

+Gary Schmidt i like the Deep6. I just wanted to try something next level. This was it! But I missed the blend knob. So back to the Deep6 I went. I'm currently not using a compressor tho. I'm all over the map :)

I don't own any pedals, but i do lead worship with pedals. Pretty much what i use is a TS-9, CH-1, Weeping Demon Wah, BD-2, and a DD-3, as well as a Line 6 Pod. They're fun to use, and sadly i'm dirt poor, so saving up for pedals is tricky.

Jesus Liendo

Braden Wilson I’ve used my wah as an envelope filter leaving it up and gradually bringing it back down almost like if I were playing synth/keys. Since we don’t have a keyboardist, I played the intro to Here as in Heaven that way

Isaac the Worship Warrior

Good question. I'm not a wah expert, but i mostly used it for build up and transitions in heavier songs. when we would play a verse soft and then build it up big, i would always use the wah to transition into the chorus, because i always tend to improvise. There was this one Chris Tomlin song called Let God Arise, that i always used the wah for that purpose, and i loved how it sounded. Also, it's good for a lot of older Hillsong songs, like Mighty To Save and Tell the World.

Braden Wilson

I"m curious, when in worship music would you find a use for a wah?

We have three guitarists rotating on electric, the church has a line 6 spider with basic pedal, cool but limited, and we have been using one the guys vox with a basic boss delay. We want to take the next step, well two of us do, and would like a recommend on if you could only have two pedals what would they be? I really appriciate your videos and they are improving our worship services. God bless you brother.

Bradford Mitchell

9y↑1

2 pedals besides the Boss delay? What delay is it? If that's the case a Boss Rv-5 reverb and a Fulltone Fulldrive 2. Verb to create more space and ambient sounds and the Fulldrive because you can have 2 stages of gain. But I'd only say that if you already have the delay. Otherwise I'd still say the Fulldrive but either a Boss DD-20 or a Strymon El Cap. The Strymon sounds great and has verb built in and is tap tempo which I'd say is important. You can only really have 2 sounds with it tho (using a favorite switch) but one could be dry and one could be super verby and lush. If that's a bit much the DD-20 is super solid. You can create multiple presets and have tap tempo. Does everything you'd need it to!
