This Episode is brought to you by The Black Box Vault from Halo Systems, experts in acoustics.
Have you ever struggled to properly mic an electric guitar amp? In order to get the best tone, you need to crank the volume to get the breakup you’re looking for. But for most places, it’s loud for the stage. So you mic it off stage and have to make multiple trips to get the right sound. Not anymore.
Allow me to introduce Black Box Vaults. The Vault Isolation cabinet is the perfect solution of controlled stage volume, accessible amp controls, and giving the sound engineer full mix control. What I love about The Vault is the high quality construction. You’ve never seen an iso cab made this well. Plus, you can choose your own speaker, from the Celestion GH-12, Celestion Blue, or the ToneTubby Purple Haze. And they each come loaded with your choice of an SM57 or MD421.
Most iso cabs are simply lined with foam. The Vault has an inner tone chamber that is meticulously designed for the best tone possible.
Head on over to blackboxvaults.com and use the promo code BEYONDSUNDAY for 20% off your purchase. That is nearly $500 off. This discount won’t last forever.

This episode is brought to you by the Pads Live app from Coresound Pads.
Coresound Pads are my favorite pad loops on the market. If you’re looking for a way to raise the quality and sound of your worship team, this is probably the easiest way to do that.
And Coresound now has a powerful, easy-to-use pads-player app called PADS LIVE that helps you transform your worship service’s atmosphere INSTANTLY by downloading and playing their top-rated pad loops on the fly from your mobile device. This is an POWERFUL tool for worship leaders at any-size church.
If you go to PadsLive.com, you can link to download the app for FREE, which also comes with all of Coresound’s Pads in the key of D for free. You can let the pads loop infinitely, crossfade gently into the next pad or into silence, and build songs & playlists. And when you’re ready to unlock all 12 keys instead of just the key of D, you can purchase and download those pads directly within the app.
Now the app doesn’t take promo codes, BUT if you buy a Pads Bundle online from Coresound and use the promo code BEYONDSUNDAY, you’ll get an additional 20% off your purchase. And your online purchase WILL unlock those very same pads within the app, as well as let you download the 20-minute MP3s to use the pads elsewhere.
