Trey's amps through the years

Hoody · January 10, 2015, 07:15:37 AM

Down with Sco's doc on Trey's guitars was interesting (and, stating the obvious, well done). As to the amps trey has used over the years I have:

Fender 30
Fender bandmaster
Boogie iii
Groove tubes
DR
Bogner
Victoria reverberato
Fender PR
Swart

Am I missing any?

Along with the Modded Fender DR and his Fender Princeton Reverb he used a Vox amp on TV and during his Dave Mathews & Friends tours. Trey has used a Fender Hot Rod series amp on TV. Don't forget the CAE 3+SE Preamp.

Didn't he use a Lonestar on Fallon?

Yep, and the new 6L6 head and KT66 combo.... I was going to include them on my document but I figured until they are seen on a stage I'll leave them be as Trey bought these amps for home and studio use. Totally loving the fact that Trey was playing a LP custom thru a TS9 into the Koa MkIII while he was testing it out (he was using a Wine red 335 in another pic).

BTW I asked the guitar shop what the amp specs were: '87 Red stripe, Simul-class with all 6L6's, has the EV12L speakers in the amp and extension cab.

I don't think he owned those amps that he used on TV, although he did own a Vox. Pretty interesting that he picked up another Mark III. I've played a few of those, and own one, and do think they're one of the best amps. I like them quite a bit more than my blackface fenders (which I do love, but not as much).

He definitely experiments around a lot more with his amps these days than ever before. He basically played only 3 amps for 20 + years, and in the last 10 has tried or messed around with a lot more.

Anyone know what he used for the flatbed jam at Clifford Ball? Or usually uses backstage? There are a couple pics of them around, but I can never tell what they are.

Another interesting thing is that to the right two clicks from the Facebook picture, yo'llu see the Michael Whitney amp which looks to share the same layout as an ODS with the exception of a jazz/rock switch where Whitney uses a Blackface/Tweed and Overdrive switch (OD is normally a pull)

The Jazz/Rock switch changes the sharpness of the EQ curve, smoother vs harder rockin OD and cleans

I agree, I don't think he owns the amps seen on TV. He probably still owns a Vox but seems like he doesn't use it anymore from what we can tell. Also agree on all the amp use Trey's done the last 10 years, he's searching for something or just trying out everything that makes him curious. Not sure what he used for the Flat bed jam, but back stage these days Trey uses a Princeton Reverb.

Anyone know the significance of the sticker in the middle of his Celestion V30 in this video? I know stock are plain metal showing.

He has a sticker in the center
