I went through my pedal experimental phase very early in my guitar playing. I bounced between so many effects before I simply realized I wasn't happy with my skill, and my literal playing. Took a few years and kept a very stripped-down rig, and now I only play with my amps built in reverb, a soul food distortion, and occasionally my ditto looper. My music just doesn't require much complexity
I recently picked up a used NOVO24 pedal train and started slowly acquiring pedals to play at church. I am about 70% complete. I am definitely featuring Strymon on this board where my other board had more Electro Harmonix. After my tuner (Boss TU-2), I am running 1981 DRV - EHX Glove - MadebyMike Dual OD/Booster - EHX Small Clone - Strymon DIG V1 - Strymon Cloudburst and Strymon Iridium. I am running the Iridium and Cloudburst on a Multiswitch plus for amp/Reverb Presets. I just picked up the DIG used and its quite amazing. I want to eventually swap the Glove for a 1981 LVL. The other pedals I still need are Strymon Deco, JHS Harmonic Trem and a compressor or overdrive. I took a gamble on the Fender LVL 12 power supply and it has been awesome so far, with enough outputs to power 12 pedals while charging my iPad and phone. I am trying to buy as much used gear to help make the process more affordable.
Very thoughtful board! I'm also a worship guitarist and have found a simple board helps me stay in the moment more, rather than thinking too much about hitting pedals (other than what's necessary). Not a knock on bigger boards--I love the huge sounds guys get from them--I just don't personally have the brain capacity to play, worship, and think about turning pedals on and off!
Same! I run a Helix at church and I always play with the snapshot mode so I just gotta press one button that says VERSE or LEAD 😂 makes it really nice and simple.
I like my tuner near the end as a kill switch as well as for troubleshooting. If you aren’t getting sound, but are able to tune, then you know your pedal chain isn’t the problem. I put it right at the end in front of an amp modeler & reverb. I use Joyo American Sound.
My electric guitar board is a Boss mini volume pedal> Joyo Pipebomb compressor> Joyo Blue Rain OD> Boss DD7 Delay> Joyo Spaceverb> Boss Tu3> Joyo American Sound Amp Modler> Boss RV 5 Reverb> DI Box
Why would anyone ever not put a tuner near the beginning? If you need to tune on the fly, as many often do, you have to turn off all the previous pedals in front of it to get an accurate reading. Am I missing something?
@@KodyXXVll If the pedal in front of it isn't affecting pitch or accentuating a frequency that isn't the fundamental, it should not be an issue. Also, most players step on the tuner for a mute more often than just to tune, and if you have something noisy like a fuzz face on your board, it can be nice to have a quick way to mute your signal without any noise. This is why I run mine after my gain stages.
@@KodyXXVll That's a great point, but I don't usually have everything on at once and I often tune a lot between songs. I've just had a lot of experiences especially with other guitar players who have a ton of pedals where they don't have any sound and it's a lot easier to figure out if it's something in the chain of the pedalboard or not if the tuner is near the back of the pedal chain. It's also a good kill switch for noise if the pedal is near the back. I'm not saying it's the only way, but there are times where it's handy to put it there. I've also left on a couple pedals while tuning that haven't really impacted the ability to tune. Obviously something heavy like a chorus pedal wouldn't work.
I have a massive board at home that changes every couple of weeks, but on the rare occasion I play out I do just as you're doing. Grab at most a half doz pedals I need for the specific gig and put them on a small board. Playing live I like to keep things simple. My wheelhouse is pretty much 70s flavored rock, alt country, and Americana type stuff. Typically I always have a tuner, a couple of drives, and a delay. I have good Spring Reverb and Tremelo on the amp. If I need it I may add a couple more pedals, but only if the gig calls for it. News flash, it usually doesnt. My typical go to gigging rig is SG>Boss Tuner>Boss BD2>Nobles ODR-1>Boss DM2w analog delay>Carr Rambler.
Love the ACS1 and your other modellers? Slap a line isolator on your board after it. (Pinstripe Diso+, Walrus Canvas, etc). A line isolator won’t drop your signal (like a DI will) and allows you to ground lift and eliminate noise running your signal to the PA...
No sir, YOU have a fantaastic day! I love fly rigs, part of the charm to them is boiling down to the essentials and really push the creativity within minimalism. So far, my favorite "small" board has been a TC Polytune mini, Keeley compresor mini, Mythos AU fuzz, Matthews Effects Broker, MXR Carbon Copy, Keeley Hydra, & a Quilter Superblock US. I can do anything with that rig!
Enjoy listening to your explanations. Your excitement, while contained, is very obvious and makes it a lot of fun to watch. So far I have a CAE Wah, Xotic EP Booster, BOSS CP-1X compressor, MXR Timmy, Wampler Tumnus Deluxe, Wampler Pinnacle Standard, JAM Pedals Rattler, Behrimger Super Fuzz, TC Corona Chorus, Line 6 M5. Want to at least add a Source Audio Collider Delay/Reverb.
I play for my church as well, leading a youth ensemble incorporating guitar, bass, drums, and sometimes piano with strings, brass, and woodwinds. As guitarist, I originally employed a pedalboard then went to a multi-effects floor unit. The problem was a looper I did not want that accidentally was triggered by me in the middle of a service. That was when I switched back to a five pedal floor board consisting of a compressor (always on), an overdrive, a chorus, a delay (always on), and a noise gate (always on). I am thinking about replacing the chorus and delay with my Zoom 506 II multi-effect pedal (no looper) and adding my booster of tuner as my fifth pedal (I have a One Spot with a five pedal daisy chain). This will allow me to have chorus plus add a flanger, auto-wah, and octave pedal with one pedal.
My current church board is Tumnus > Ernie Ball Vol Jr > DD-20 > OBNE Dark Star > JHS Octave Reverb > Joyo American Sound. I spent years with a POD HD 500 and was mostly happy until I started using my HRD again. I moved to the Joyo because of stage volume issues and it actually works really well for me. Had I known I would have bought the Tech 21 Blonde instead of the POD.
My pedal board is on its 3rd addition. I started out with a single row, similar to yours, it jumped to monster size, as I narrowed my music preferences it became a pedal board half the size of the monster and larger then the single.
Man this gave me some motivation. I don’t play live, but I always hate how disorganized my pedals are because they’re not on a board. I also tend to use too many pedals because of this. Sort of a “well I might as well have this fourth reverb in my chain in case I feel like using something different”. I think the space limitation of a small-medium sized board would really help me experiment more and find ways to get the most out of each pedal. With that said, I think my dream pedalboard with the. Pedals I currently have is: Boss OC-5 octave > Origin Effects Cali 76 compressor > Origin Effects Revival Drive Compact Hot Rod > MXR Duke of tone. In effects loops: MXR stereo Chorus > Dawner Prince Boonar > UA Golden Reverberator > UA Starlight > UA Astra A tad less busy than what I currently have set up, but still gets me all the options I’d really need. Could probably remove the boonar as it’s a very specific effect I use it for but… it’s so good at what it does lol.
As a pro tip (passed on to me from a famous guitar player you know many years ago) for the best tone out of your gear: guitar -> preamp -> compressor -> noise gate -> OD/Distortion -> EQ -> Boost -> chorus/flange/wah/vibe -> echo/reverb -> amp. Compressor on Cleans As for your amp: dial in that "sweet spot" in your amp and the dial in your overdrive/distortion accordingly. Keep rockin' and learning!
Try this lineup : Fender level set buffer - crybaby wah - mxr 10 band eq- Empress Zoia - (left ch) Empress phaser - (rt. Ch) Empress nebulus flanger - Wampler terraform - Boss loop station - Electro-Harmonix Oceans 12 - Boss me-80 - Two amps,with one from the buffer(clean tone). Two 100 watt amps from the Boss me-80. My favorite combination, hope you like it.
I barely know anything about guitar but I still love watching your videos and find them really interesting. I didn’t know you played worship music but that is awesome as well. Also I love that you played Clocks as one of the demos.
it is definitely unique sounding but not at all traditional. i definitely prefer a more natural sounding wet effects section with the reverb very last.
I also use the Walrus ACS1. A great pedal for keeping things versatile yet simple. I use a Stymon Flynt for my main reverb. But I also have a Walrus R1 Reverb pedal on my board. It's super versatile and takes reverb to some wild places.
I made my dream board too, literally, couldn't find any pedalboards that I liked or suited my needs, so i bought wood, aluminum channel, rubber feet, black spray pain, velcro, and leathette, and got to it, got my pedals in the spots that I wanted, very fun, and I saved a lot of money
Currently I’m running straight into a Keely Comp -> Boss BluesDriver -> ElectroHarmix Small Clone -> Amazon Reverb -> Amazon Delay -> Looper -> amp. I don’t gig so I tune off my phone or in Logic. I’d like to replace the cheap delay pedal. Also wanna add a Boss Tremolo in there too. 😊
these pedals sound awesome. humble suggestion for next build, consider some older ones too, a lot of stuff from 10-20 years ago or older still sound great
I like the size of your pedal board. Not too big, not too small, the essentials are there ... I have built so many pedal board during the past 20 years that I can't count. Still, when I look to the one I have today, and the effects I indeed use I can say that 95% of the pedals I bought, are today useless ... what I use : a Nux MG30 multi effects (really great for the price for amps and IRs simulation and some pedals as well !) with three "pedals" on it that I use constantly : Noise Gate, Compressor, overdrive (Blu driver) and as real external pedals, a Strymon Bigsky for the reverb, occasionaly a Mooer octaver and a Boss RC 500 for the looper ... no more, no less but Yes that could change, but today I am bored with huge pedal boards and valve amps. If I need to use a real amp, I use a Boss Nextone Artist 80w (far better than the Katana in my opinion, more "realistic") ... all valve amps that I have today, I no longer use them ...
I like the versatility of that board! My playing is usually more gain songs 80s/90s rock. I have found the Boss BD2 to be essential for lighter gain, but the MXR 5150 blows me away for heavier tones. May I also suggest the Juliana Chorus if you can get a chance to try it out
I’m in the process of making a PB for my amps with no FX loop (Princeton, ac15, tweed, jcm 800) and a major consideration is Li-Ion power supply. Super quiet, super convenient.
What's up! Let me explain something for ya Placing the tuner can often be a mute aswell. Meaning that if placed at the end of the chain, it can be used as an ultimate kill switch. If there's ever any sound issues, hum, or anything like that, a tuner at the end will at least make you quiet - making it easy to pick and prod at the issues
Hey Mike, you've talked about your church gigs a couple of times, and I have no idea what getting ready for or playing a gig would really entail--let alone for a group like a church. I think a video on it would be really interesting. Hope you are doing well!
Great video and interesting choices. I run my tuner after gain for buffering and kill switching and I run my Digitech drop first for tracking before compression. But that's what makes guitar great, there are no rules.
So I play for church and have my pedalboard pretty dialed in. I’d love to hear about chord voicing and about if you play what is on the original recordings of worship songs or do you come up with your own parts?
All you're missing is a Peterson StroboStomp up front and a Boss GE-7 at the end. Seriously though, get an EQ pedal they're way more versatile than you'd think.
TC Electronics Polytune 3 ISP Decimator II G string Line 6 HX Stomp (out into FOH and IEMs with IRs) Blackstar AMPED 1 (out into Peavey Invective 2x12) 4 cable method so that the Decimator acts properly and can be used to adjust the gating to suit the venue. MIDI controlled so I don't have to worry about patch changes. What I'd like to know: are there any good battery/power conditioner combos that can fit under the deck of a pedal board? If someone in the bar turns on a blender - you don't want your rig hitting the deck. This would act like a UPS.
I still have and use a few pedals, but since getting my Line 6 HX-Effects, I can usually find everything I need/want, and I have several pedalboard patches with different effects from 60s psychedelic, 70s hard rock / prog rock, funk, fusion, to thrash, metal and prog metal.
The pedals on my "church rig" are as follows 1) Sonicake Cloud Chorus ( to fatten up the sound), 2) Amazon Basics Drive pedal (yeah I know) with drive at 9 o'clock, Tone at 12, and Volume at the way up. 3) Vivlex Solo Dist pedal (for Leads), 4) Donner Echo Square In Analog Mode at approx 550ms, 5) Flamma Analog Delay in Tape Mode, and 6) Donner Verb Square in Mod Mode. When I put the Flamma and the Verb Square together, it gives that pseudo-shimmer sound that's just right for me.
I agree, it's very cool to see what you did with a limited space you had available for this board. Also, love that the octave made it on the board. That's a surprisingly useful pedal for worship music. Do you use a volume pedal with this board?
I would get a polytune, blues driver, fod, carbon copy, malibu tremoverb chorus and compressor but in the correcto order. Dont think I could need more.
Since it was for church, you should put a Hail Satan distortion pedal on there, that would be hilarious. All around, nice board. If I could add my Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor I’d be happy with it
I literally cannot build a new board without a Browne Protein since I got it. Blues breaker circuit AND an ODR-1 circuit in one pedal. But honestly, are you allowed to do worship gigs without a Strymon ? :)
Pedals are either really great or they can be a detriment. After all of the last 48 plus years of playing, I still only consistently use a compressor, delay, and chorus. However, I probably own 50 plus pedals. Right now I gig with a Marshall DSL 20 and a single 12" Marshall Custom Shop cabinet. I have just been using the 2 channels with gain adjustment and I ditched my overdrive and distortion pedals , at least for now. I rarely sell my pedals because I eventually come back to them. We all chase tone, because it's half of the fun!!!!!!
My 20 foot cable got funny to day I got a cheap free cable I got with a guitar it’s 10 foot sound got better immediately. I have a Reverb delay pedal that goes into the special FX and then another reverb and delay separate pedal . Thats going to the front I don’t know what it does but I like it.
Longer cable length can greatly affect the amount of signal loss you experience, so the shorter cable is most likely just giving you more of the actual tone of your board/guitar. Also, if you have a larger pedalboard, buffers are your friend!
@@nohop5735 my first pedal is a compressor and my last pedal is an EQ pedal so I shouldn’t have signal loss but that cable is four years old now the rubber separated right behind the metal part so I got a cheap ass cable out and it even immediately sounded better. Yes, I know longer cables can do it but that’s what the compressor supposed to do.
U r absolutely right when you say that dream pb always changes For now I have built 3 PBs Starting with TUNER yes TU3W boss Then we go to foxy tone box by warm audio. Fuzz of course Then a noise gate Then the warm audio centavo clone Then trex tremster tremolo The new korg nuvibe clone of the original univive And DM 2w delay by boss
Mike I know I’m commenting 7 months after this was posted - but I’m considering the same D’Angelico Bedford Deluxe guitar you’re playing here. Do you still have that guitar? Ever done/wanted to do a review video on it?
You forgot to talk about your amp. Yes you have an amp sim but I thought you would speak about the "real" amp you plug into. Now you may have meant that you would plug the board into a "clean" PA at church. In that case the amp sim is your amp. Love you VIDS.
My tuner is connected to my volume pedal, which is like 9 pedals into the chain, and I've never had tuning issues with the setup. I just turn off any pedals before it. My cyrrent setup is definitely way to much for a tour, but is great for experimenting while recording. Its also stereo, for that purpose, running into an ac30 on the left, and a vibrolux on the right. I joke that my pedalboard alone is worth more than my car, but thats actually the truth as I drive an old shitty car 😂 Priorities...
Dream until the next pedal hehe
You know the drill
Hehe
🤣🤣
saying that you 'built' your dream pedalboard is kinda like saying you mowed the lawn and won't have to do that again.
or you bought your last guitar :)
Yep....😂
He didn’t say he won’t ever have to do it again. He could build a new dream board next week and it’ll be just as true.
This is true
lol true GAS is real

Not a worship player, but I totally see how the pedals you’ve chosen would fit.

I still have and use a few pedals, but since getting my Line 6 HX-Effects, I can usually find everything I need/want, and I have several pedalboard patches with different effects from 60s psychedelic, 70s hard rock / prog rock, funk, fusion, to thrash, metal and prog metal.
Hx fx gang!
yo big shout out to the philosophers gold comp. LOVE that thing and i feel like it is super underappreciated.
I bough the fundamental delay primarily for the reverse mode! I run it into a keeley caverns to add delay and reverb to my reverse delay
The pedals on my "church rig" are as follows 1) Sonicake Cloud Chorus ( to fatten up the sound), 2) Amazon Basics Drive pedal (yeah I know) with drive at 9 o'clock, Tone at 12, and Volume at the way up. 3) Vivlex Solo Dist pedal (for Leads), 4) Donner Echo Square In Analog Mode at approx 550ms, 5) Flamma Analog Delay in Tape Mode, and 6) Donner Verb Square in Mod Mode. When I put the Flamma and the Verb Square together, it gives that pseudo-shimmer sound that's just right for me.
Oceans pedals finally getting recognition, Mimi was the only other one recently that has gotten it.
Plate is my fav too
Fractal FM9. Done. 🤘
Why am i always in such a good mood after watching your videos
Great video. Thanks.👍🏽👍🏽
I love your videos! Thanks for sharing your information.
Check out the SCRAN pedal. It’s amazing! Just got mine.
Keely Cavern v2 is my favorite pedal
It took me a long while to overcome my pedal board addiction....saw this on my feed, looks like the gods have other plans for me.
Cool build! 👍🏼
Pedalboards are definitely an expression of the player. It amazes me to see how people use their boards, from minimalist to overkill.😂
bro i love your videos, thank you. quick question how long have you been playing guitar?
@mikecole so what gigs do you do outside of church if any now?
Is that the order of your signal? Interesting choice to have delay after reverb if so. Solid choices in pedals!
I agree, it's very cool to see what you did with a limited space you had available for this board. Also, love that the octave made it on the board. That's a surprisingly useful pedal for worship music. Do you use a volume pedal with this board?
Where would you put your Tonex in this lineup?
I would get a polytune, blues driver, fod, carbon copy, malibu tremoverb chorus and compressor but in the correcto order. Dont think I could need more.
My favorite guitar youtuber
I agree just a few good pedals will do in most situations. Tanks 🚘
Love this!
Since it was for church, you should put a Hail Satan distortion pedal on there, that would be hilarious.
All around, nice board. If I could add my Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor I’d be happy with it
Great video !
What are these patch cables ?
Thank you !
I just ordered my first pedal (ds1) gonna get a small clone and then one more and that’s it cos i don’t use em that much
I’m going to try the plate and trem.
I love your channel.
Fire glasses bro
I literally cannot build a new board without a Browne Protein since I got it. Blues breaker circuit AND an ODR-1 circuit in one pedal.
But honestly, are you allowed to do worship gigs without a Strymon ? :)
Pedals are either really great or they can be a detriment. After all of the last 48 plus years of playing, I still only consistently use a compressor, delay, and chorus. However, I probably own 50 plus pedals. Right now I gig with a Marshall DSL 20 and a single 12" Marshall Custom Shop cabinet. I have just been using the 2 channels with gain adjustment and I ditched my overdrive and distortion pedals , at least for now. I rarely sell my pedals because I eventually come back to them. We all chase tone, because it's half of the fun!!!!!!
nice video. whats the name of the pedalboard ?
my pedalboard is just my amps footswitch, a morley wah and a boost pedal. works well enough for me.
Hi sorry I’m quite new to pedal, may I know ir usually is before wet pedals or after? Thanks!
My 20 foot cable got funny to day I got a cheap free cable I got with a guitar it’s 10 foot sound got better immediately. I have a Reverb delay pedal that goes into the special FX and then another reverb and delay separate pedal . Thats going to the front I don’t know what it does but I like it.
Longer cable length can greatly affect the amount of signal loss you experience, so the shorter cable is most likely just giving you more of the actual tone of your board/guitar. Also, if you have a larger pedalboard, buffers are your friend!
@@nohop5735 my first pedal is a compressor and my last pedal is an EQ pedal so I shouldn’t have signal loss but that cable is four years old now the rubber separated right behind the metal part so I got a cheap ass cable out and it even immediately sounded better. Yes, I know longer cables can do it but that’s what the compressor supposed to do.
Gave you your thousand like 👍🏼😎😎
I would like to know your thoughts on PRINCE as A Guitarist in a video
Keeley compressor plus into boss sd1 into mxr micro amp into mxr carbon copy. Clip on tuner
Needs a DigiTech Bad Monkey 🤔
But in all seriousness, great video, love your stuff! :)
A Bad Monkey in church? You trying to get Mike in trouble?
U r absolutely right when you say that dream pb always changes
For now I have built 3 PBs
Starting with TUNER yes TU3W boss
Then we go to foxy tone box by warm audio. Fuzz of course
Then a noise gate
Then the warm audio centavo clone
Then trex tremster tremolo
The new korg nuvibe clone of the original univive
And DM 2w delay by boss
My dream pedalboard is no pedalboard. They're pedalboring.
But, to each their own!
What do you use for delay? Chorus? Wah?
@@markkindermannart4028 just the amp.. less stuff to fuss over
ruclips.net/video/_Mfgs62nOjI/видео.htmlsi=Qj7zAb61FFs5CNgK
Cool set up (:
I just started learning guitar, can you do a video on how you became so good!
Hey man what vid editing software do you use on your Mac?
Review the new solid color evh frankie
hey mike, curious if you've ever experimented with something like the jhs colourbox in place of an amp sim pedal like the walrus one
I never see him reply to anyone.
I’m seeing the Micro POG on a lot of people’s boards nowadays, everybody trying to get me to buy one lol
Mike I know I’m commenting 7 months after this was posted - but I’m considering the same D’Angelico Bedford Deluxe guitar you’re playing here.
Do you still have that guitar? Ever done/wanted to do a review video on it?
Brighton *** not Bedford. Oops
Archetype Mike Cole
PHFHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MIKE COLE SIGMATURE IBANEZ GUITAR PHFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You forgot to talk about your amp. Yes you have an amp sim but I thought you would speak about the "real" amp you plug into. Now you may have meant that you would plug the board into a "clean" PA at church. In that case the amp sim is your amp. Love you VIDS.
This man said Skype. Haven’t heard that in a while
Reverb after delay!
My tuner is connected to my volume pedal, which is like 9 pedals into the chain, and I've never had tuning issues with the setup. I just turn off any pedals before it.
My cyrrent setup is definitely way to much for a tour, but is great for experimenting while recording. Its also stereo, for that purpose, running into an ac30 on the left, and a vibrolux on the right. I joke that my pedalboard alone is worth more than my car, but thats actually the truth as I drive an old shitty car 😂
Priorities...
i mean... church stuff = dotted 8th delays. 😂😂😂
A pedalboard without a Boss pedal is bad luck.
JK-but in all seriousness, get yourself a BBE Sonic Stomp.
Why reverb after delay?
I used to gig with just a wah. No wah here? Im a little surprised.
