Electric Guitar Amplification:

• Trainwreck Express (Jan Marie and Shinobu, plus Tina on backup).  
• Komet 60 (several, with varying tube configurations)
• Mesa Boogie Mark III Long Head (loaded with Sovtek 6L6 and preamp tubes) 

Amplifier choice moved around a bit in the early part of summer tour before Trey settled on one Trainwreck (Shinobu) and one Boogie.  A second Trainwreck, Tina, is currently used as backup.  Earlier in the tour, Jan Marie was loaded with 6v6 and run as a clean amp, while Shinobu was loaded with el-34.  The purple Komet 60 ran with 6L6 while in use.  The Boogie made its triumphant return in Connecticut on July 23, 2024.  It had otherwise not appeared on stage with Trey since Summer 2016, when it may have been backup.  The last time we can confidently say that it powered the rig was Summer 2015.   The Boogie lead channel is accessible by footswitch, so it is not being used exclusively for the clean tone.

Electric Guitar Cabinets:

• 2 x Paul Languedoc 2×12 cabinets.
• Leslie G-37 rotating speaker 
The return of the old 80’s Languedoc cabinets came along with the Boogie Mark III in Uncasville.  As we’ve documented at TGR, those Languedoc cabinets had been covered in tolex before the 2014 summer tour but the tolex has since been removed.  The Leslie is in use, but offstage.

Cabinets are mic’d with a Royer R-122V vacuum tube ribbon mic and a Shure Beta 57a. 

Electric Guitars:

•  Koa 1.   Single output, no push-pull, no coil drop switches, no series/parallel.  This guitar uses 50’s wiring for a super simple and very toneful setup.  Loaded with TAF signature pickups by Rewind Electric.

July 20 in Mansfield. A nice look at the full rig as it appeared early in the tour. Two Trainwrecks and two Komets, with the Komets used as backups during this period. Trainwreck Jan Marie is running 6v6 as a clean amp at this point. Trey is standing on a Porter and Davies KT Platform, which is designed to allow him to feel the sound of the instruments even though they’re using in-ear monitors.
Here’s a great look at the beating heart of the pedal board from July 20. Across the bottom you can see switches for Leslie, Supa Puss, Nux Voodoo Vibe, two Tube Screamers, the Wah, and a universal tap tempo. Center bottom is an amp selector to choose between Shinobu and Jan Marie. In between the M5 unites, you can see the M5 presets available to select from, including Growler, Reverse, Delay, Sweep, Cave. There also appears to be a trigger for the Ross Compressor up there.
Here’s our first look at the Mesa Boogie on stage in quite some time. In this photo from Uncasville, The amp rack has three units: The Boogie on top, then a Komet 60 in middle, and the Trainwreck at bottom. According to our archives, this is the first time the Boogie appeared on stage since Summer 2016. We hadn’t seen the uncovered Languedoc 2×12 cabinets since New Year’s Eve 2013-2014 at MSG.
This great overhead shot from July 31 in St Louis reveals a rig that looks closer to the traditional 90s Trey rig than anything we’ve seen in a decade. You can see that the amp switch on the pedalboard has been altered so that it selects between the Boogie and the Trainwreck, rather than between two Trainwrecks. Also of note, Trey was trying a Vox Real McCoy wah on this particular evening, and you can see the VOX logo on it at bottom left. The McCoy was still in the rig as of August 6.

This photo from July 21 shows the rig in mid-transformation, with a Trainwreck, a Komet, and two custom 1×12 cabinets flanking the amplifiers.
This beautiful shot from Mansfield night 2 gives us a full color look at the rig in its full glory. Note the use of a Cioks AC10 power supply. behind the CAE Wah and Digitech Whammy. The yellow and black box toward Trey’s rear right is a selector switch that allows him to choose to have his vocal mic audible to only the band or to the full audience.
