Question:
Im wondering at my church we just recently changed our worship team. The group split up because it was getting too big. So the previous worship team does the university students and the new one which im in is doing the high school students. Anyway we dont really play the same type of songs. We want to introduce and play alot of more upbeat songs like What the world will never take and your grace is enough. I play second guitar and i wanted to get some effects going on my guitar. Because our church doesnt really play those i dont really know what to get. SO if anyone can suggest some effect products that they use that arent that expensive would be great.

You should really read this:

Buying effects is a very bad idea unless you actually know exactly what you want.
Answer:
i would start with a delay pedal. do you play lead? you might wanna go try out a tremolo pedal and maybe a wah wah. the line 6 dl 4 is a good pedal for the price
Answer:
Well no i play 2nd guitar but i was most likely in an overdrive distortion pedal but im not sure what is good.
Answer:
if u got about 200$ a tubescreamer is good. im selling a couple of my overdrive pedals to get one. the big line 6 overdrive/distortion modeler sounds pretty good. its has a lot of options on it too. what kind of amp do you have.
Answer:
i like the Digitech bad monkey over drive pedal. thats my next one.
Answer:
I'd shop for a multi-effect pedal board.
I used the Boss GT-6, and I'm completely happy with it. And they're under $300, since the GT-8 is out now.
If you're looking for VERY inexpensive, look at the Zoom boards. They're super cheap and not bad at all.
Good Luck,
Chris
Answer:
Your amp is generally much more important in shaping your tone than your pedals. It's generally a very bad idea to buy an OD/Dist. pedal unless you already have a good amp.
Answer:
I would recommend an entry-level multi-effects pedal like the Zoom G2. (By entry-level, I'm talking about price) You'll get a variety of sounds for the price of one stompbox and you can educate yourself on what kind of effects appeal to you.
Answer:
Well i dont plug my electric guitar into an amp i just have it directly into a mixer. Would an amp like Line 6 spyder 2 be a good choice?

Ok, then a distortion pedal is not likely going to give you a very good sound anyway. A Line 6 would be a good choice for a variety of sounds.

OK, the guitar straight into the mixer will not give you the best sound because your mixer is designed primarily to amplify mics. You will need either an amp or a multieffects pedal or a modeling pedal to shape your guitar signal into the mixer. I run a Digitech GNX3000 modeler into the mixer and use a small Fender amp as my stage monitor. It works very well for me and I like using it better than my tube amp and pedals.
Answer:
I've used a similar arrangement as Hopeful:
Electric guitar>DG Stomp>L cable>Mixing board>R cable>Amplifier
But now I have the sound people mike my amp.
Using a preamp type of effects pedal should help your sound. You might want to consider the Yamaha Magic Stomp, which is being blown out at Musician's Friend for $79.99
Answer:
Not only will it not give you the best sound, it will give you horrible sound. It will make you wish you didn't waste money on a pedal in the first place. If you're not going to have an amp any time in the forseeable future, I would highly suggest an amp modeler. What's your budget?
Answer:
Well the room where we have service isnt to big so i dont really need a big amp so ill prob get a 15 or 30 watt line 6 spyder 2 since they are on sale and have effects on them Thanks for the advice
