5 Essential Pedals for Worship Guitarists

Here, I share my thoughts on the pedals that shape the modern worship sound — wide, clean, emotional tones that carry a lot of weight. I explain why a light overdrive, delay, ambient reverb, compressor, and shimmer/modulation pedal are must-haves, and I give guidance on how to combine them effectively. I write from the perspective of someone who has dialed in hundreds of rigs and knows how each pedal changes the atmosphere.
