In your church, what kind of gear do you use? How is it set-up? Pedals or FXer? Mic'd amp or direct? Post your gear. Check it out...
My Fender electrics are fed through a Boss pedalboard. It goes wah pedal, tuner, noise supressor, compressor, EQ, distortion, chorus, delay. In that order. I feed that through the front end of a Tech 21 trademark 60, which goes line direct to the house.
My acoustics plug in to the Cali blonde or a paracoustic DI onstage. I sometimes use a chorus pedal too.
I wish we could attach pics to our posts so I could see what you all are using in terms of guitar gear. Well maybe sometime soon. :D

Hey,
This was hit in another post. I think it was called "what's in your rig?"
Check that one out.
One thing I did not cover there, though, is that I don't mic or d/i, I just turn it up. We eventually hope to have everything mic's, but right now, it's just the vocals and the keyboard in the PA.
Also, I just started making my own effects a few months ago. I started a bit of a site at http://www.freewebs.com/jayp5150. I will post more on there later, but there are some pics (poor-quality--taken with phone), and sound clips, too. Let me know what you think.

Wow!! I don't know anyone that makes his own effects. That's pretty impressive. You plan to market it? Gotta love those fuzz tones... it's got a raw vintage vibe to it. LOVE IT!! :D
Thanks for showing me the post. I'll have to do a search on it. Others are still encouraged to reply if they want. I'm especially interested in setups in large halls or sancturaries that seat a thousand or more. Sound quality and mix seems to be a constant issue in these types of places.

well, my setup goes ~guitars (schecter c-1 classic w/ dual seymour duncan humbuckers , & a strat copy that I made w/ 3 single coils)~which 1st run into an Electro Harmonix Big Muff fuzz pedal, 2nd a Visual Sound Route 66 overdrive/compressor, 3rd a Dunlop Crybaby Classic wah (I used to run into the wah 1st but putting it after the overdrive gives my wah a more vocal sound), 4th a Boss C-1 chorus, 5th a Boss PH-3 phaser, 6th a Boss DD-3 digital delay, & last into a Boss TU-2 tuner~ from my pedalboard I run straight into my amp a Fender Hot Rod Deville 212 w/ another 2x12 extension cabinet. I do mike the main amp about 4 to 6 inches off one of the speakers in the amplifier just so we catch everthing in the mix for the tapes & cd's.....

Thanks! Yeah, there are a TON of online resources about this, there are links at my site. If I can get an original-enough design, I might sell some at my friend's music store, but not right now. I need a start up of about $200, and I could make about 5 or 6 *good quality* pedals (you know, aluminum boxes, etc--the ones on the site are plastic).
That effect on there is basically a Fuzz Face with a tone knob added on the front end. Thanks for liking it!
