New + Notable:  Trey added an Empirical Labs Distressor compression unit to his effects rack, and a Lexicon PCM 42 digital delay to his wet rack, which previously had included reverb only.


Electric Guitar Amplification:

• 1 x Trainwreck Express
By the fourth night of the MSG run in April, Trey was down to a single Trainwreck head, and he stuck with that for Spring and Summer 2022.  There’s no longer a second head dedicated to the effects rig.

Electric Guitar Cabinets:

• Bruno 1 x 12. This is the DRY cab.  For this tour, Trey used a “naked”, i.e., uncovered Bruno cabinet.   It’s loaded with a single G12-65H speaker, as per Trey’s usual preference.   This cabinet is mic’d with a Royer R-122V vacuum tube ribbon mic and a Shure Beta 57a.
• 2 1×12 custom WET RIG cabinets (black).   These are loaded with Celestion F12-X200 speakers and mic’d with Royer Labs R-121 Ribbon mics.
• Leslie G-37 guitar rotating speaker.

Electric Guitars:

• Koa 1.  This was the primary instrument for summer tour.
• Koa 2.  This guitar was at Dick’s.

Electric Rig Effects:

Gain/Overdrive
• 2 x Tube Screamer (vintage TS-808)
• Klon Centaur Overdrive
NEW: Empirical Labs Distressor Compressor.  When in use, this took the place of the Ross Compressor.

Voicing
• Digitech Whammy II
• 1 x Electro Harmonix (“EHX”) POG2
• EHX Key 9
• CAE Wah
• Mu-Tron 3 Envelope Filter
• 2 x Line 6 M5 Stompbox modeler. One is labeled “PRE” and the other “POST”, which refers to their effect order in the Bradshaw rig.
• 2 x Boss SY-1 Synthesizer

Time-Based (reverb and delay)
• Boomerang
• Eventide Space Reverb
• 3 x Way Huge Supa Puss atop rack: (1) set to quarter note, (2) set to dotted eighth, (3) set to tapped 1/4 note and low in the mix, a “thickener” they call “SOAR”. All have the Analogman Mix Pot Taper Mod, which removes the R79 resistor from the printed circuit board, allowing for a smoother curve or more linear slope on the mix control.
• Ibanez DM-2000 digital delay
• Digitech Obscura (for reverse delay)

Modulation
• Victoria Reverberato
• Shin -Ei UniVibe
• CAE/Black Cat Super Tremolo (usually for CHOP)

Wet Rack
• Bricasti Design Model 7 Stereo Reverb Processor (this takes a line out feed from the custom switchbox that selects amp heads so that both the DIRECT and EFFECTS head have reverb.
NEW: Lexicon PCM 42 Digital delay.
• Fryette LX II Stereo Power Amp (this reamps the signal coming from the effects)
