Trey's rig in details

Speaking of which, is the photo on this site of his Ts9 settings accurate? That seems like a lot of OD to me. I guess I could try it and see, even though I don't have the exact same pedals.

Eta:

This one

Don't go by that picture, it's from 2004. I screen capped one from his most recent rig rundown from Jones beach 2012. He goes light TS9 > cranked TS9.... but he has is it so it looks like it's cranked > light... but if you follow the cables you can see it really is light > cranked.

The signal chain is wah (RMC3 stealth) > silvermodded Ts9 light_OD > silvermodded Ts9 cranked_OD > Ross > midi switcher/digcrap

I'm a little confused what the chain might be now, since the Ross is on the amp stack... I'm also not sure whether he is still using the Taiwan made Ross or if he did go back to the USA one that all the phans bought him in 2009.

Cranked level on both?

For the record, I'm not going to copy the settings. I've found the sweet spot I'm after. I'm just curious as both of those pictures have settings that seem extreme to me. Is it something about playing through a PA or some other reason?

The Ross after the stacked TS9's keep the level all squished down. I find this doesn't work well for playing at low levels.

It's not cranked on both, see my post.

I'm just stating, the one that is cranked, the ROSS after both, keeps things pretty even. If volume levels are set with the TS9 with the drive set low, when the cranked is engaged, I bet the volume wouldn't jump much. I don't know for sure, as I don't have a ROSS and stacked TS9's.

His tone on the current tour is def the most drastic from what I'm used to hearing with my ears. Less mid range(or smoother), and the highs have some serious bite. His tone is also much more compressed, but I'm guessing the Shiva might have more to do with that overall.

The drive isn't cranked on both but it looks like the level is.

Right... yea it is there. I think I've seen those knobs lower more recently in 2013 on webcasts. He probably does adjust those for the PA though

I'm listening to some of the last night of SPAC now. I like the cleans and light OD, but the heavier OD is too gritty for me.

And at the risk of being labled a jaded vet, is Trey just awful on this show or what? Not tone - wise, but his playing.

He seems to be trying out a lot of different things.

Down_With_Sco · July 07, 2014, 09:50:01 PM

He's been using the whammy setting a 2nd down bend (whale call) alot.... however I will say it's done much better than last summer tour. But do check out the Chalkdust from night 1 SPAC.

Jkendrick · July 07, 2014, 10:59:07 PM

He doesn't sound rehearsed. He's missing a lot of notes and just sounds off. I know Trey is all about listening and letting "music play the band" but sometimes it just sounds like he's lost and he needs better chops to fall back on. A lot of what I listened to from the last show (admittedly the older tunes they played that night) Trey sounded directionless and was just plain flubbing a lot of notes. I suck and I could've played the Fluffhead jam better than he did. :p

Wrong. Its the half octave bend and 1 octave down. You should buy one and see for yourself. Neat little pedals. People almost always over use this effect. If you can get one, and use it one time during a show, I will approve.

I'm not wrong. I know the settings. I know he uses the octave up and down as well. I have a Whammy DT.

Yeah sorry your whammy DT doesnt even have the same chip in it. Its not the same thing AT ALL. The whammy bar setting is half octave down. If you pre program a wh2 it can hotswap between two settings with one button tap. It has to be reprogrammed every show, so he probably switches from -1 and +1 to 1/2 1 and -1. Confirmed from BB a while ago, reconfirmed at the Portland show earlier in the year with BB at sound check. Cheers!
