Super hot pedal board update

Super hot day here today – 39 degrees (thats 102F). So hot in church that the best place to be was the baptism pool. Certainly on stage under the lights was a bit unpleasant – and I blame the heat for the number of mistakes I made – of which the worst was definitely when I mangled the lyric of ‘Salvation is here’ to sing “I don’t care that the world will know your name.” Not sure if anyone else noticed but I apologise – I’m definitely not so indifferent that I would sing about it.

Anyway, before I got jump in the pool it’s time for another pedal board update. Non guitarists can tune out now… I’ve made a couple of alterations – adding in an EQ pedal so I can shape or boost my tone when necessary. The other is the addition of the Digitech Jam-man looper, with another Boss volume pedal to control the volume. I currently have this running completely separate to the rest of my chain, with an output going into the direct line-in on the amp. The reason I’m running this separate loop is because I’m using some of Karl’s ambient guitar pads (see here for more info) to provide backing for some of the songs. They sound awesome and free the keyboard player to do some different stuff. We’ve had some nice ambient jams through communion.

So there it is. Click on the photo for a bigger version. I’d write more but this laptop is starting to burn a hole in my lap… (did I mention it’s crazy hot here today?) Cheers.
