In this video, you'll learn what pads are, why you should use them, and a super simple set up for running them with equipment that you most likely already have.
Do you use pads while leading worship?
Pads are a simple way to add musical depth to any worship team.
And... if you lead with sparse instrumentation - they're even MORE important.
This is the pad set up that I've been using for the past 5+ years and haven't changed it at all because it's so simple to use.

Thank you so much for this! I've been wanting to get started with using pads at my church for a while and I copied your setup almost exactly!
Wow! You have opened my eyes!
Just wanted to say thank you, Im not savvy at and this has been a life saver, i love worshiping the Lord as a Pastor and this was simple to the point. May God richly bless you and your ministry.
This is the best and easiest way to utilize pads! Glad I'm not the only one doing it!
Very simple and helpful. Thanks
Nice addition!
Just got a TC Electronic "Infinite Sustain" Works great for pads. And you can stack chords if you want.
I do not currently use pads. I lead worship with a keyboard. I would love to be able to fill out the songs a bit and I thought I would try pads to help. Thank you for putting this youtube together. I am excited to watch and see what I can learn.
Thank you!
Man! There's an absolutely awesome free app called Infinite Pads by Happy Little Apps that has around 6 inbuilt sounds, all keys, all fade in and out with EQ and volume control from a phone on a holder that attaches to my mic stand and I can literally tap the key I want, swap from organ to Lush, and all seamlessly. It's absolutely rad for any worship guitarist!!!
God bless you brother! I've downloaded the app it's really simple and easy to use. Awesome sound. Thanks alot man!
Thanks!!
thank you
Nice one, I started using pads with a smartphone, but as a guitar-player I can't switch them on/off. Love the idea with the pedal!
thank you so so much ... i really appreciate ... i am moslem born but i love christian music so much ... i looking for this pads that i find u god bless u god bless Jesus
I like what you did there, but on my acoustic pedal board, I have the Mel9 which works for me acoustically.
Another option for fading pads in and out is adding a delay pedal. Set up a loud delay with a lot of repeats and leave it on the whole time. Ease back on the volume and you will hear the pad continue for a few seconds while you switch to the new key and fade it in. The important thing is to put the delay AFTER the volume so you don't kill the echoes. Digital delay can be expensive, so most of us probably wouldn't buy one just for that, but many electric guitarists already have more delay effects than they need!
Interesting idea. Thanks for sharing đ€
Where'd you get the shirt? I want one toođ
Thanks for the video. For example in the key of D does the pad work for entire song when chords are changing within the key?
I have wondered about adding pads to our setup for some time now and what you presented seems to be a nice straight forward method. However, we have a limited number of inputs on our FOH mix board so I'm wondering it I can mix the pad's DI box out with the keys' DI box out to a single FOH input without causing an issue, either sonically or electrically? What would I use to mix the two signals?
I used my looper to prerecord all the keys and play them. It is awkward however, because I have to dial it in.
Can I buy mainstage pads and used them for pc? ( on pro tools)
How would I incorporate the volume pedal if Iâm using an audio interface instead of just straight into the DI?
Not yet but I want to
Thanks for this video! I'm trying to incorporate pads into our worship sets at the church I lead worship, so this video was helpful. Could these pads be used on a Facebook livestream without being taken down for copyright?
I don't think that would be a problem. The pads sit in the background so they're barely audible - you should be good.
Our church has limited musicians wanting to see if this will help create a full sound đđœ
It definitely helps create a fuller sound. Go for it! đ
I would like to implement pads in my worship set up. I too play guitar and lead worship at my church. My question is what would I run the volume pedal to if I am using a fish man loudbox mini running through a midi to the sound board?
So after a good night's sleep, I remembered my amp has Bluetooth. I can link my phone to the amp and use the worship pads app on my phone. I can't wait to try it!
So please forgive my ignorance. How does one pre-program what the pads plays? Is it first necessary to preprogram the song beforehand so that the right chords are played, key changes, and so forth? Then, you are essentially playing along with what is on the app, right?
No worries! A pad doesn't have any chord changes - it just drones in the key that you're playing in. So, you can play whatever chords you want over top of it. There's no need to program anything. Just pick what key you want to play in, fire up the pad audio, and play the song like you normally would đ
I noticed that the 1/8 to 1/4 cable is a stereo audio cable. Does the instrument cable need to be 1/4 stereo audio cable as well or is the instrument cable mono? I use my iPad and use the Onsong App which can attach a sound file to each song. That way each song I play has the pads in the desired key for that song.
The instrument cable is mono. I just used a stereo 1/8 to 1/4 because that's what I had laying around.
We don't use pads, but will maybe give it a try.
Let me know how it goes! đ
Nice video and very easy set up for pads, thank you for sharing. I'd like to take the pads to a higher level, for example if we are playing a song on a C chord, we play the C pad, but when we play the G chord, I'd like to change the pad to G, then back to C, I mean, I'd like to have some freedom to change the pad note on some part of songs (to avoid having the same note all over the song). Do you know how can this be achieved without expensive stuff?. Thank you in advance.
At that point you're not running a pad - you're looking for a click/backing track set up. The purpose of pads is that they DON'T change notes. They are purposefully designed to be played under every chord in a key. They aren't even meant to be heard/noticed while you're playing. They sit in the background underneath what you're playing to "fill in the cracks."
Will ambient pads work for a song that has chords out of it's key? For example a song that is in key of C, but has an E or Fm chord (i understand chords out of key are usually added for harmonic interest). Would the key of C pad sound seem to clash for that bar or beat that the out of key chord is played?
as long as ur on the family key of the chord it will not be a problem base on my experience
do you have to hold the foot pedal the whole time you are playing...? thanks for all of your tips!
Nope! Once you bring the volume up it stays at the level you've set.
That ws a good question. I was thinking that you had to hold it the whole time. This is an awesome way to use pads!
I use pads using only my phone I download pads through my phone and I use it during worship in our church. Is it okay? If I only use phone or maybe I will find another one.
Just make sure that you silence it or put in airplane modeđ
Good day! Can you use another Pedal like Boss Volume Pedal?
Definitely! Just plug the iPad or whatever you're using to run the pads into the input on your pedal and then run the output of your pedal to a DI Box.
@@LeadingWorshipWell thank You! God bless you! Iâm trying to find which the best pedal, Ernie or Boss. Ernie has the highest review so far. What would you recommend?
Iâll do the same set up as you
What was that first song you were playing?
Christ Be Magnified by Cody Carnes
Hmmmn very nice yes it does add some drama
Is that a modded VP-JR?
Not modded. Just a regular VP-JR.
@@LeadingWorshipWell then why r the jacks on the side?
@@cameroncarson2907 I have an older model of the pedal - got it like 8 years ago. The newer models have the jacks on the back.
âŠand then Strymon launched the Cloudburst pedalâŠ.string pads for all đ
If you were wearing sandals you could swipe with your toe
None. Learning how to.
