Today, I want to share with you the easiest way to run ambient pads at church using the Atmosphere by Aerospace Audio. Ambient pads are a fantastic tool for creating a rich, immersive worship experience, and the Atmosphere pedal makes it incredibly simple. Let's dive into what this pedal does, how it works, and why it's a game-changer for worship leaders.

What is the Atmosphere Pedal?

The Atmosphere by Aerospace Audio is a compact, user-friendly pedal designed to simplify the ambient pad workflow. Instead of using a more complex setup involving a MIDI keyboard, software, and multiple pieces of hardware, the Atmosphere pedal consolidates everything into one easy-to-use device. You simply plug it in with an instrument cable, connect it to a direct box, and you're ready to go.

Setup and Features

Easy Setup

Setting up the Atmosphere pedal is straightforward. After powering it on, you connect your instrument and direct box. The pedal offers various ambient pad sounds, which you can control using the up and down arrows to change keys and patches.

Sound Quality

The pedal provides high-quality ambient pad sounds that fill the space beautifully during worship. One of my favorite patches is the "Troposphere" patch, which offers a rich, warm tone. The pedal seamlessly integrates with an acoustic guitar, adding depth and atmosphere to solo performances or full band settings.

Live Use

I’ve used the Atmosphere pedal in several worship services, and it performs exceptionally well. Whether leading worship alone or with a band, the pedal enhances the overall sound. For instance, when transitioning between songs, the pedal allows you to change keys smoothly and maintain the ambient sound.

Additional Features

The pedal includes soft foot switches for easy preset changes, making it user-friendly even during live performances. You can also connect it to your computer via USB to add custom ambient pads, providing flexibility if you have specific sounds you want to incorporate.

Real-World Application

Solo Worship Leading

One of the most significant benefits of the Atmosphere pedal is how it supports solo worship leading. I’ve used it while leading worship by myself, and it adds a full, layered sound that enriches the overall worship experience. The pedal's ease of use allows me to focus on leading worship without worrying about complex setups.

Electric Guitar Integration

The pedal also works well when integrated into an electric guitar setup. During a small night of worship, I used the Atmosphere pedal alongside an electric guitar, and it added beautiful ambient undertones that complemented the acoustic guitar and vocals.

Final Thoughts

The Aerospace Audio Atmosphere pedal is a powerful tool for worship leaders looking to simplify their ambient pad setup. Its ease of use, high-quality sounds, and flexibility make it an excellent addition to any worship setup. Whether you’re leading worship solo or with a full band, this pedal enhances your sound and helps create a more immersive worship experience.
