Live pedal board

In order of my pedal chain:

JHS Little Black Buffer: Neat little black box made by JHS pedals. This pedal basically just makes my tone a bit clearer. When you have a lot of pedals in your chain, signal can be lost through all those feet of cabling. Not totally sure how it works, but I think it basically just speeds up my signal, and makes me sound better. For me the difference of having it on or off isn't huge, but enough for me to keep it in my live pedal board. It stays on all the time. www.jhspedals.com

Timon Klein Looper: This is an 8-channel true bypass switcher. It makes it easy for me to switch between pedals, cuts down on unnecessary noise/signal chain length, and if a cable shorts or a pedal goes out during a set, I can just turn it's switch off without having to reroute any patch cables. I operate about half my board from this 8-channel control bank. It definitely makes my life easier. One of the lead guitar players from Hillsong United, Timon Klein of www.timonkleinindustries.com, makes them. He also makes really great custom road cases and pedal boards that we use. www.timonkleinindustries.com

Keeley Compressor (2 knob): I like this compressor a lot. I'll use it with the level knob at about 2 or 3 o'clock and the sustain mostly down or maybe sometimes turned up to about 8 or 9 o'clock. Passed that if you have

Hello Everyone,

We are getting feedback from some of you regarding purchasing tickets to Jesus Culture Awakening this summer. Since we are not handling ticketing directly but going through Ticketmaster, we wanted to give you a few tips based on the feedback we've been receiving:

1. If you are trying to purchase tickets online but you aren't being given the seats you'd like, you can request a different seating section by calling Ticketmaster at: 1-800-653-8000.
2. The seats behind the stage ($30) are not going to be sold until all the other seats are sold out. These seats will have limited viewing, but a screen will be up so you can see what is taking place on stage.
3. Attention youth groups: try to purchase your tickets as soon as possible, tickets are going fast. We are not sold out yet, but tickets are going quickly and you'll want to act soon to get your group's seats. It is assigned seating and all seats must be purchased at the same time to be seated together.

**Note, I was recently at the AllState Arena to check out the venue, and honestly, there isn't a bad seat in the house! This is an intimate venue that's perfect for the amount of people we're gathering. Excited to see you there!

I'm writing this blog overlooking the ocean and the Gold Coast. Australia is truly a gorgeous country with amazing people.  As many of you may know from watching the news, Australia (particularly Queensland on the Northeast Coast), was hit with some of the worst flooding since 1974. Entire neighborhoods were under water and not only did some families lose everything but many people lost their lives in this horrendous tragedy. The flooding has stopped by the immense undertaking of rebuilding begins. Not only the rebuilding of homes but for many the rebuilding of lives. Pray for Australia that God would give beauty for ashes and out of this catastrophe show His goodness to a nation. Our team heads up to Brisbane which is in the heart of Queensland this weekend. Pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit during our two day conference there.

Our trip over here has been amazing! The hunger and passion for Jesus is incredible. We held our first conference at one of our favorite churches in Sydney, Dayspring. The place was packed with young revivalists in love with Jesus and laying down their lives to see Him glorified in their nation. Sean Smith spoke the first night and just tore it up and I spoke the second night. Every night the response was powerful as youth, young adults, and many adults ;-) responded to the presence and word of God. As always our band with Kim and Chris were off the charts.
