Title: Trey's Rig - Volume Pedal
Post by: Hoody on November 06, 2013, 01:26:17 PM
I noticed on the fall tour that Trey has added back a volume pedal.  He previously used it only for his acoustic rig, but now has one for his electrical work as well.  Looked like he was not really using it as an effect (i.e., volume swells), but rather just to adjust his overall volume.

Its an Ernie Ball, but does anyone know what model it is?  And if he uses it for any other purposes?

Didn't see that.  He may use it for what I use, right in front of the delay and looper so it's easier to make quiet, ambient echoes and loops and vise versa.

No idea, but I'd definitely get the new Ernie Ball MVP when I add a volume to my rig.

He used one in the mid '90s as well right after comp. Listen to the 3:35 mark of Stash on A Live One. I can roll my volume knob almost all the way down, and can't fade as far back in the mix as him, so leads me to believe it has to be a volume pedal. Or he could turn the comp off for it

Well, Mike just put this on Instagram/Twitter:

I don't see no volume pedal there.

Also, man he looks tired as hell.

I think I see two treadles, one on each side of Trey's TS9's.
Other than that, no clue.

I think I'm going to try the Mission Engineering VM Pro this week though.

One is a wah and the other is for the uni vibe. Saw it marked on the webcast. There are a few close up shots on Mr. Miners page too.

I think the one that isn't the crybaby is actually for the CAE Trem.

I believe you are correct. It is an actual Uni Vibe expression pedal though. There's a pic on Miners page from the 19th at Hampton that you can see the front of that pedal. Curious as to why he's using that instead of a regular expression pedal. I guess because he can? ;D

Im not trying to be a dick at all with this question but I am just wondering what the differences between a unified expression pedal and a regular expression pedal ?  is in a unified expression pedal just an expression pedal with univibe written on the front?
Am I missing something here?

It's just an expression pedal that happens to say Dunlop Uni-Vibe on it or whatever... I noticed Trey had a volume pedal but does not use it for swells.

Kind of funny considering during the Dicks 2013 Esther, he was doing volume swells with his guitar volume knob.
