I saw that on Reddit last night, and now I'm super curious as to how he's running these amps. All on at the same time? Certain amps for certain songs? Inquiring minds wanna know!
For like 30 years he was running that Mesa Mark III head. Then he switched up to a Deluxe Reverb with Alessandro mods for a minute before switching to the Komet. Then he scored the first of two Trainwrecks, which is what the Komet was a clone of. Now he seems to be bringing like 16 amps on stage.Are the Komet and Trainwreck his mainstays?
He started out on a Deluxe Reverb. Then the MkIII + 2x12 V30 cab. There was the CAE rig there in the mid-90s as well.I saw that on Reddit last night, and now I'm super curious as to how he's running these amps. All on at the same time? Certain amps for certain songs? Inquiring minds wanna know!

The MkIII
He's got at least two. IIRC the preferred one was a blue stripe. But I'm having trouble finding that reference now. I think he mentioned it and joked about it being the "less desirable" MkIII in his original gear run down video from the early aughts. He joked and then said, "It's better to have gear you know than the absolutely best gear" or something to that effect.Do you know which particular version/stripe?
This accurately describes me
It was a JTM45HW on the Fall 2016 tour. It didn't last past that tour. Maybe the worst of the new amps he tried? Woofy and wooly with little in the way of cleans on tap for him. He used it on the Ziggy Stardust album cover they did that fall in Vegas for Halloween.I was not aware Trey ever used a Marshall, so thanks for that! Any idea what model it was?
Yeah, that doesn't seem like a good fit for Trey, at all! I can see how anyone would love a cranked JTM, and maybe it worked for the Mick Ronson material, but again doesn't seem like a good fit for Phish stuff.It was a JTM45HW on the Fall 2016 tour.

PRS Hollowbody Spruce > Fractal Gear :)So I gotta ask man - what's your Trey rig look like?
He had a Two Rock head and cab behind him on stage. And a pedalboard he was using. Was this rack rig in use?

He played a PRS Hollowbody.
