Anybody got any idea what Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks are running?  I was listening to The Deep End and both of them sounded excellent.

derek likes the new PRS amps, and uses a couple neat gibsons (most notably an SG, an Les Paul)

warren sports a really nice Les Paul and plays out of one of those expensive soldanos!

i know derek used to use a tubeslammer a while ago, and i think warren just used the amp switcher on that soldano.

I just listened to an audio clip of a tubeslammer.  I thought it sounded pretty good, what do u think about them?

warren uses a shit ton of amps. in just the deep end dvd he uses a custom audio electronics amp, saldono's, gibson goldtones, you name it i have seen him use it. he's pretty big on gibson guitars. lespauls, 335's, firebirds, ect. i know when he did the central park thing with dave it was guitar cable gibson goldtone 2x12 amp
talking about music is like dancing about architecture

Derek doesn't use any pedals, I think he has an amp selector now. He just uses the amp's natural overdrive to get his tone. He used to use Super Reverbs, but now I believe he is using PRS amps.

I just grabbed this off the net for derek, when I saw him at Mt. Jam that's what he was running ->http://www.uberproaudio.com/who-plays-what/255-derek-trucks-guitar-gear-rig-and-equipment

This is pretty up-to-date, saw all this stuff at Mt. Jam too -> http://www.premierguitar.com/Video/20101108/1235/Rig_Rundown_Gov_t_Mules_Warren_Haynes.aspx
