Custom Audio Electronics posted the photos below.  They included the following message:

Just finished a new system for Trey Anastasio of Phish. This was the first major update for Trey in over 20 years! While he has been a major supporter of CAE for many years, this was the first time I was commissioned to design and build a “ground up” system from scratch(except of a backup rig in the 90″s). This system made its live debut at Warren Haynes’ Christmas Jam in Asheville NC this past saturday. See and hear it in action at the Phish New Years shows at MSG in New Your City. See individual photos for more details. Thanks!

Rack top pedals
This is the top plate, which tilts up for easy access.

midi switcher
The RST-24 is the heart of the floor array.  The “Feedback” and “Mix” expression pedals control the Delay (most likely the Moog).  The CAE Wah is a customized version of a Dunlop Wah, and is new to Trey’s rig.  Note in the bottom left of the RST-24 a switch for “Trey ’94.”  According to CAE, this gives Trey a TS-808 into the Ross Compressor.

This is the Bottom Tray of the rack.

Eventides
There are 2 identical Ambikab Trays; one for each cabinet.  This is one of them.

Note the return of the CAE/Bradshaw Tremolo.  For awhile, this had been replaced by the Victoria Reverberato.
