Question:
Hi guys. I recently bought an Ibanez DS7 distortion pedal. however, i'm afraid that it might be a little bit too hardcore for our normal sunday worships. the songs that we play are the starfield, chris tomlin, matt redman, hillsongs, kind of songs. i'm debating whether to return this and get the Ibanez Tube Screamer 9, but i don't know what to do. does this distortion pad have any place in our worship? thanks a lot.

Roboy,
I would reccomend getting the TS9.The DS7 is distortion, which is usually out of place during worship. The TS9 is a overdrive pedal. Much more mellow sounding, less gain, and better suited for worship.
As a sidenote, what kind of amp do you have?

Answer:
i'm pretty sure it's some no-name brand. i'll go check tommorow.

Ok. Just wanted to check, because some amps have overdrive that sound better than pedals (i.e. tube amps).

+ One.
Answer:
I have the Ibanez DS7.. i use it for worship a couple of times.. it works fine because i felt that its not really a distortion its more of overdrive or just mild distortion.. it works fine for worship.. but seriously the sound isnt impressive.. its pretty plain n harsh.. i too recommend to get TS9 if u have extra $$..
Hope this helps!

Answer:
it's all in how you set the pedals, personally i love my tubescreamer... i got it for 33 dollars new... i saw it in a store and was like "WOW, that's like 110 at musicians friend" so i bought it even though i had a OD, if you have the money get a tubescreamer, but you have to remember it can be just as hardcore.. it's all in the settings of the pedal.. (btw- most of that stuff is clean to begin with), and Only Alive.. you're post is hard to follow...
