I think Trey's tone on the Live in Brooklyn CD is awesome, barks but smoothish at the same time. Was it just the Deluxe Reverb at this time?

Yeah, I have this dvd, very enjoyable.  He was using the DR then with the 4x12 bruno cab.  That was the year however, at least the first year I noticed that he had dropped the compressor from his rig.  That snarly tone he had going on then was a whole lot to do with the Languedoc being frigging unleashed.

Such a great DVD, I was watching the IT DVD this weekend and I was really digging Trey's tone from this era too. Kind of like the Clifford Ball and Live in Brooklyn had a baby. Ponying up the cash for an archival DVD is always high on my list, front-row view of the finger action!

wait, so has trey been using a compressor since 2009? i feel like he has to be if all he uses for OD are those TS9's, otherwise where else does that beautiful sustain come from? it can't be totally attributed to the doc can it?

As far as I know he's been using the comp since their return in '09, but I wouldn't underestimate the doc....after playing a buddy's ES-335 which is a semi-hollow meaning it has a block in the middle (whereas a doc or similar does not have a block) at a larger venue with ample volume coming from my rig, there were a few moments of "Oh, SHHIII**" when i didn't roll the guitar's volume back. Live and learn I guess  :)

I use a ES-339 and it's a helluva lot easier to control feedback than say a Doc or another HB guitar, how far were you from your amp/was the speaker pointing at your guitar (on a chair or stand)

The Doc can sustain for days without the comp.  No problem at all.  Especially at a loud volume & the TS's on.

I did have an amp stand, and the unpleasant feedback only occurred when i turned towards the amp.

It's a combination of the Doc, Hot Tubes, the TS9s and Ross...

I'd put their significance to the killer sustain in that order.

meh...I dunno. Not all feedback is created equally.

Some guitars will only feedback in one key I have found. So you will start out with one note, and once feedback is reached you will be in another key all of a sudden and it doesn't fit.

The singer in my band plays acoustic guitar and it has the tendency to feedback a lot. Sometimes it sounds great. More often it sounds like crap...

As poster once said, "You could make a plywood box with hot pickups feedback, doesn't mean it's gunna sound good."

After experimenting with many hollowbodies, I'd say there is a lot of truth to that statement.

Sorry for that....Let me clarify.  First of all, I love feedback when used in the context of a cohesive jam or lead break, and I use it constantly.  The feedback I was referencing above was in between songs when no one else in the group was playing. It was more unexpected and unprofessional than anything. Sorry to cause any confusion  ;D


^^I agree with a lot you said there PoN
