I also have a 2006 MIM Strat I rewired with SCN pickups and a LR Baggs bridge for any tunes when,

I need to switch from Acoustic to Electric tones mid song.

Pod X3 Live running direct to the house

When I am out of Church I run the X3 into a Crate powerblock through the effect return, bypassing the preamp.

X3 Live

Roland KC-100 amp

I use an Epiphone Semi Hollow Les Paul style guitar running into a Boss Blues Driver (not a huge fan), into an MXR Distortion III, into a Crybaby (not always plugged in) into an M13 where I split the effects loop and have the mods and delay go into the amp's effects loop and the previously mentioned pedals go into the front of the amp.

I recently just upgraded my amp and use a Vox AC30 CC2, previous to this I was using a Peavey Classic 30 with a Celestion G12H speaker replacing the stock one.

Looking forward to the Vox this Sunday though.

Guitars

Warmoth hollow bodyTele with Fralin pickups

Amps

Pod X3 Live

Yamaha mini-PA floor monitor

The X3 goes straight to house PA via XLR, the Yamaha monitor gives me some stage volume but our church PA has got good monitors anyway.

I have a Parker Fly Classic up for sale as I plan on getting a Variax 700 - I can then retire the Santa Cruz (or sell it as I have another Santa Cruz I use for home playing, this one's an OM). I hope the Variax/X3L will give me the ultimate church rig - anyone else use a Variax/X3L in a church setting? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Blessings

My set up seems to pale in comparison to some of you guys.

Guitars:

Parker P10e

Gibson Chet Atkins 2001

Variax ACoustic 700

Variax 500

AMP:

None at the moment I just run right into the house. I if I want more sound I will grab the Churches Traynor or Marshall acoustic

Pedal:

Pod X3Live

I use the normal set up from the X3L xlr out into the PA. Our sound guy puts me in a monitor bubble if you will so I'm not stuck with anything right dead in front of me but allows me to hear everything some what clear. We just have more people that we do monitors.

I love to tinker,build and mod almost as much as playing so most equipment I own or get usually gets upgraded or added to.I think I have some kind of disease that will not let me be satisfied with my setup,I think it is called being a guitarist but i'm not sure.Usually only use one of the two strats on any given worship setting with everything else listed.Rock on...........till he calls us home.

'08 Stock AmStd Strat

'04 Gibson ES-137

1976 Martin D-35

X3L

Bad Monkey (haven't tried w/the X3L yet)

Peterson Strobo stomp, however for live use the X3L tuner works just fine

Blues Jr.

The X3L learning curve is straight up for me, haven't run direct into the board (sound guy can't meet me to preset yet), so I'm not really happy with my church tone yet. I understand the Fletcher-Munson curve, & realize that no matter what it sounds like at home church will be different.

The best thing I've found so far is Lincoln Brewster's 18D patch, but it sounds kinda mushy. When I can go into the board I think things will improve dramatically.

Take care,

Pat

Hello All,

  I currently play:

'88 ESP Mirage Custom.

'05 Ibanez Prestige 2550 GK - Galaxy Black

Jackson Performer (not sure of the year) that I've tricked out. - Black

and last but not least....Morley Wah

For services i use a variax with the variax digital cable going to a pod x3 live going direct to the system.  i have my x3l also feeding a marshal mg 100 hdfx half-stack for stage volume although i would love to switch to a silent stage instead.  this setup is simple but great for me because i'm usually leading the singing as well and not having to switch guitars between electric and acoustic songs really helps the flow of the service.  somebody had me in mind when they created the variax x3l combo.

I play for between 4 and 6 hours every weekend for a worship team.  It took me nearly 15 years to get to this point with my equipment, and I get the most compliments about my tone, my overall sound and the fullness of the band with this configuration.

Primary guitar:

PRS Paul Allender SE (green) with Tremol-No installed to lock the bridge (I play a lot of 2-string bends)

Backup guitars:

Epiphone Prophecy EX w/ EMG 81/85's and 18v mod

Epiphone Les Paul Standard

Schecter C-1 Classic

Wireless unit (I do not like a leash, so I can actually walk around and interact with people as I play)

Digital Reference DR-3500 system

Amp:

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (1x12 all-tube amp) - great for low stage volume but sounds great mic'd

Mic used to capture amp sound:

Sennheiser e609

Effects:

Line 6 M13 (using 4-cable method)

Two BOSS FV500H pedals (one as expression pedal and one as volume pedal just after wireless receiver)

DigiTech X-series tuner

Studio gear/Backup live system:

POD X3 Pro w/ FBV Longboard (in its own portable rack case)

---

M13 setup:

I use all 12 scenes with various default stomp boxes enabled so that I can perform some quicker jumps than having to rapidly make between 2 and 4 stompbox changes in and out of a solo.

FX1-A: Vetta Wah

FX1-B: Octave (1 octave down to simulate/demo bass parts)

FX1-C: Compressor (almost never used)

FX2-A: Tube overdrive, very minimal levels (match clean output level)

FX2-B: Tube overdrive, 50% drive (match clean output level)

FX3-C: Tube overdrive, 100% drive, slight output boost for solos

FX3-A: Analog Chorus (set up to almost sound like a flanger)

FX3-B: Uni-vibe (dotted 1/8 note)

FX3-C: Tremolo (1/8 note)

<External effects loop between FX3 and FX4>

FX4-A: Digital Delay (1/8 note)

FX4-B: Digital Delay (dotted 1/8 note)

FX4-C: Digital Delay (1/2 note)

---

Scene setup:

Scene 1 (Fx1-A): Chorus only

Scene 2 (FX2-A): Slight overdrive

Scene 3 (FX3-A): Moderate overdrive

Scene 4 (FX4-A): Heavy overdrive

Scene 5 (FX1-B): Chorus + dotted 1/8th note delay

Scene 6 (FX2-B): Slight overdrive + dotted 1/8th note delay

Scene 7 (FX3-B): Moderate overdrive + dotted 1/8th note delay

Scene 8 (FX4-B): Heavy overdrive + dotted 1/8th note delay

Scene 9 (FX1-C): Uni-vibe only

Scene 10 (FX2-C): Slight overdrive + 1/2 note delay

Scene 11 (FX3-C): Moderate overdrive + 1/2 note delay

Scene 12 (FX4-C): Heavy overdrive + 1/2 note delay

In all cases, besides scenes 1 and 9, the chorus effect adds level and depth to the tone so I use that to punch my solos through the mix if needed rather than wasting an FX spot on a boost, though I could easily do that with FX1-C).

I find this setup covers about 95% of what I would use during a service, and if I need to deviate, I use scene #9 (FX1-C) as my deviation setup for something more unique for that week.

Feel free to ask questions, it's taken me a VERY long time to get this gear set up (by what I've been told by the sound tech as well as listeners) very successfully.

Main guitar on Sunday - 70's Reissue Fender Highway One Stratocaster - I actually just got this last week.. traded my telecaster for it.. best move EVER

I have shared once already but since have changed my setup."93 Mexi strat with GFS pu's,Variax strat conversion,Ernie Ball volume>TS9 modded>Blues Driver modded>Pod HD400>xlr to mixer(left output),right output to small 2 channel Behringer monitor box(Pod output and main monitor mix into this for my mix)>Carvin inear.

This setup works very well for me since I play with different song leaders all the time with all very different styles(folk to metal and everything in between).Blues driver is on almost all the time(drive"0",gain"from 75% to 100%,tone"75% to 100%),ts9 only when I need a little xtra oomph.

I pretty much only use a few patches.Dr.Z clean,Hiwatt clean,Fenderish clean,all with tube drive for thick OD and I found the colorsound OD is very transparent(liking it more and more).Particle and octo verb patches for pad and volume swells when needed also.I find most of the models I don't use.I tried to find the few that are really full sounding when clean and stick to those,seems to make it easier to tweak when needed.The HD is awesome and sounds great.I have owned the Pod 2.0,xtlive and back to the 2.0 then the HD.Been a Line6 fan awhile.Peace!!

Awesome stuff guys! I'm glad this forum is on here! I play for San Joachim church in Miami, Fl. My style ranges from Flamenco to Santana. I would love to put a Latin Rock worship group together, but only time will tell 

I use:

-97 Fender American Strat ( thinking about buying a Duncan lil 59'er and putting it in the bridge. We'll see.  )

-Ibanez G200ECent Electric-Acoustic Classical guitar

-Bugera V5 5 watt tube amp   ( replaced stock tubes with JJ's, and replaced stock speaker with Jensen C8R )

-Marshall VS65 amp  ( now mainly used at home, it's too much of a pain lugging it around. )

-Pocket Pod with various presets for our music. It can be a pain having to switch mid-song, but I get by. This solution will have to do until the Lord blesses me with a HD300! lol

-MXR Carbon Copy Delay

-Boss Super Overdrive ( saving up to have it modded by Analogman. It sounds good, but just not there yet. )

-Morley Bad Horsie Wah

and arriving in the mail....Line 6 XDS95!! Woohoo, I'm going wireless, baby!!  lol

I play straight to my amp, no PA. I like having my amp as my sound source and monitor. But I'm thinking of getting an A/B switch and routing to both amp and PA. Now that I'm getting the wireless, I'll be able to judge music better by walking out and hearing how things sound from a distance. Decisions, Decisions! 

I'm still trying to figure out the "proper" setup. Any help is always appreciated!
