For many worship guitar players, crafting the perfect sound is crucial. From building tone to creating atmosphere, the right pedals can make all the difference. But with so many options out there, it can be overwhelming to pick the best pedals. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of 10 pro worship guitar pedalboards you need to see.
Firstly we reached out to the guitar players for Elevation Worship, Bethel Music, Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, Brooke Ligertwood, UPPERROOM, and The Belonging Co. & they each sent back photos and links to the specific gear they are currently using! Unquestionably in this post, you’ll find all the pedalboard essentials.
Also, we’ll show each pedal these guitar players use and list them in order of their signal chain. Undoubtedly whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting, this blog is sure to give you inspiration and insight into the gear that can take your worship leading to the next level.

Firstly, these pedalboards are not listed in order of ranking, and to help you connect the tone to the artist, we classified them by the worship teams they show up on. Huge shoutout to all the guys that sent us their setup.
From a visual standpoint, this board is simple, but in capability – this could be one of the most potent pedalboards in this post. The power of the HX Stomp & Quad Coretx on their own is already immense. When you stack these two together, it’s like wielding the sword of Excalibur. Overall I couldn’t think of a setup that personifies E more than the setup we see here right now.

What Effect Pedals Should You Have On Your Board? Praise And Worship
What we have here from Jonathan Lee is a good ole fashion pedal-lover’s pedalboard. There are no weak links in this glorious setup, which is no surprise on a Jonathan Lee pedalboard. The guy is known for the best of the best.
One thing to note that I absolutely love about this board is: the Timeline & Big Sky are within easy reach in the middle of the pedalboard. This can happen partially because of the Goodwood Audio junction box that he’s rockin’ underneath the board. This allows his pedals to be placed in the light of what makes the most sense for playing, not for output. A super wise move! Again, not surprising to see it on a Jonathan Lee board.

This could be one of the coolest setup pedalboards in this post. A perfect combination of old school and new school. Prime example – Line 6 DL4 & a QUAD Cortex. Cory Pierce is known for his ear and unique ability to dial perfect tones. This board showcases all of that perfectly.
Be sure to note that the signal chain for Cory’s worship pedalboard utilizes the send/return on the QUAD Cortex uniquely. All of his reverbs, delays, tremolos, etc., come in through the Quad Cortex. Giving him tons of control when it comes to how those pedals interact with the amp and overall mix.

Best Reverb Pedals 2024: Our Top Picks, From Subtle To Extreme
The first thing to note on this board that is so sick is the usage of the new pedals from Universal Audio. When you thought, “oh, I’m sure these aren’t that good; I’m sure the team at UA is probably maxed out on all they can pull off, ” – they all of a sudden released this line of pedals that surpassed our expectations. Also, the usage of the Strymon Flint. Huge move. I love that pedal so much and was incredibly happy to see it on this setup.
Supa Boost > Keeley Comp > Mooer Tender Octaver > Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive > JHS Charlie Brown > JHS Superbolt > T1M volume box (under the board, controlled via the boss expression pedal. Also, split to always on tuner send), M1, D1, Strymon Timeline, Strymon Flint
Every time I’ve heard Garrett’s tone, it is so consistent, high-quality, and massive. Not surprising, given all the amazing pedals he has on his setup. Also, a HUGE shoutout to the usage of the Sparkle Drive. That brings me back to the 2008 YouTube sensation GearManDude. Truly a faithful that, in my opinion, has never lost its charm.

JHS comp > JHS Bonsai > JHS Kilt > JHS Prestige > JHS Micro POG > JHS emperor chorus/vibe > Strymon Mobius > Strymon El Capistan > Line 6 DL4 > Strymon Flint > Boss RV5 > Walrus R1
This board put a big ole smile on my face because, yet again, we see the Line 6 DL4, large and in-charge. Note on Casey’s DL4, back in the good ole days when JHS modded pedals. Again, another fantastic placement where it’s reachable on the board. Another thing that is so crucial when it comes to this board is the usage of the Quartz. All the tap dancing that comes with tap tempo is eliminated by this beautiful machine. Program your tempos, create your presets in setlist order, and wham, you’re tap dancing days are behind you.

Worship Guitar Gear // Electric Guitar Rig // Tom Lemmons
If you want to see a detailed walkthrough of Matt’s board and how he uses each pedal, check out our Worship Guitar Tone Masterclass here. Okay, listen, the moment I saw Matt’s board, I was immediately amped because first and foremost in his chain is the Diamond Compressor. My personal opinion is this guy never got the recognition that they deserved. It’s so good. Another really quick note on pairing and stacking. Both Cory Perice and Matt Podesla have this setup on their worship pedalboards. A JHS Bonsai and Browne Protein. Individually they are unreal, and together they are unreal. If you haven’t heard of Browne Amplification, you need to give them a look.
Also, a little side note about The Protein, one of the best bass overdrive tones I’ve ever heard was with this pedal. Parke Cottrell of Colony House runs this on his bass board, and the crunch n punch you get is just so MONEY! Run it through your send/return to avoid losing your low-end.
Line 6 M9 (JHV3 mods) > Micro POG > SP comp > VP Jr. volume pedal > Durham Sex Drive > Klon Centaur > JHS Superbolt > Boss VB-2 > Deluxe Memory Man Tap Tempo > Strymon El Cap + fav switch > Turbo Tuner > Strymon Flint > Ditto
Electric Guitar Rig For Worship Music
Listen, immediately, you’ll notice that this is a glorious spaceship worship pedalboard, BUT the one thing about his board that you’ll notice is there isn’t a looper anywhere. In fact, when sending over the photo of this pedalboard, Jim made a note about that! He used to have a Mastermind looper on his pedalboard but took it off because he feels more connected to the music when he’s engaging and disengaging the different pedals. You heard it here first, a vote in favor of the tap-dancing worship guitarist. Honestly, I love it!
Okay, so we are ending this one in a fun way. Highlighting one of my favorite guitar players alive, that is a king of tone (please tell me someone got that joke ). Nick will never make a decision that sacrifices tone for the sake of ease. I’ve talked with him about his journey of landing where he is now with the Fractal setup. Let me tell you, after all the A/B-ing, the quality holds up, and the ease of setup is totally worth it. BUT don’t let the above photo fool you… Nick still has his beautiful pedalboard spaceship intact. Enjoy this beauty!
Overall we love creating posts like this to help save you
