Guitar gear

For those of you who don't know, I play in some worship bands! I have a passion for worship, and when I say that, I'm not just saying "I really dig hillsong united", or "I like going to crazy worship conferences". I love being a part of bringing people towards Christ through surrender, vulnerability, and a desire to encounter the Lord through music that glorifies him. I also love music in general, and I love to serve. I like being able to play for people and have them enjoy it, and I love to learn. I'm blessed that I get to have all of those things with the churches that I serve with.

This is a look into the gear that I use when I lead worship. Feel free to ask questions, tell me my choice of guitars and pedals sucks, etc.

Gibson Les Paul, as shown in the picture below







94 Japanese Telecaster


My pedals, as shown above

Ibanez TS9
MXR Custom Badass Overdrive
Korg Pitchblack
Boss Rc3
Ernie Ball Volume

For my electric, I use a Vox AC15 (All-tube amp, not to be confused with the similar solid state VoxAC line) Great amp, very warm, very clean. It doesn't have a lot of tone options coming from the board built into this, but I just build my tone starting with an almost clean setting, the Top boost at about 40%, and stack overdrive pedals to get whatever sound I want.

For Acoustic and Vocals, I use a VoxAGA30. I don't know much about it yet, just bought a few weeks ago. So far I've just been using a loop station with Acoustic and vocals through it, and I like it. A little quieter than I might like, but for the price (Under 300) and the size, it's loud, and it doesn't distort (much) at high volumes.

That's my electric rig. I might go into my acoustics and other gear in a different post. Ciao!
