Trey Anastasio

In this source, Trey Anastasio is pictured playing a Martin JC-40 Cutaway electric/acoustic guitar.

Trey Anastasio plays a Languedoc guitar, which he shows off in this video at (0:10). "It's a long scale length...the length from the nut to the bridge is the same as a Strat," Anastasio said. "I wanted it to have the bite of a Strat and the kindof meat of a hollowbody...so the body is completely hollow and braced like a violin...so it's completely hand carved and hollow. It's a beautiful hand crafted instrument." The guitar can switch between a humbucker and single-coil sound, according to the Phish guitarist.

Trey Anastasio has been using this amp since he bought it in the mid-80s, in part because he believes "being familiar with your gear is more important than having really good gear," he said in this video at (4:10).

"The first tube that the guitar signal meets inside the amp is a 12AT7 (instead of 12AX7). The "Vibrato" circuit was reconfigured into a "midrange boost" (we added another pot and knob to the front face of the amp where the 2nd input usually went). We replaced the stock speaker (Utah 12") with a Celestion Blue Alnico 12". "

In this picture from A Trey Trio(plus one) show in Charlottsville, you can see the Komet amp in the back. This is a great amp that was designed by Ken Fischer before his unfortunate passing. Trey loves this amp and has been playin live with it for under a year. In this video he talkes in detail about his amps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzpkJGxz38M

Anastasio also plays through a Univox Univibe. "The Univibe, of course is made famous by Jimi Hendrix," the Phish guitarist said at (6:30). "I got it specifically because I spent 8 million hours listening to Band of Gypsies when I was growing up."

Anastasio uses a TC electronics Nova Repeater, as seen in this video at (6:14). According to the Phish guitarist, he got it, "just for a tiny little echo...and then when we were in the Storage Jam, I finally started fooling around with it, because we were fooling around inside that storage box, I think it kind of re-ignited everyone to open their minds a little," he said.

Anastasio has been using two tube screamers "since the early days" according to the Phish guitarist in this video at (3:05). One is set on full scream for sustain and one on light distortion, sometimes both at once. He uses them when he's not using his digital effects.

Trey Anastasio uses the Ross Compressor to "squash" his Ibanez tube screamers, the Phish guitarist says in this video at (3:30). His current pedal was a gift from fans who missed Trey's guitar tone from earlier Phish days.

From website: "Trey Anastasio from Phish got a pair of Bicomps before his solo tour and the recording of their album in late 2002. He has been and is still using two of our Silver mod TS9/808 pedals in his live rigs with all the bands and combinations he plays with."

AnalogMan Bi-Comprossor and the Ross Compressor is what seems to be in use off and on for him over the years.

"Sid showed my his Boss pedal board with the modified DS-1/Pro he is using. Sid installed the JRC inline chip himself (not easy!) as he initially had our SUPER mod but was not really happy. Now he likes the PRO a lot, and after their practice he gave me another of his DS-1 pedals to modify for him. If you check out Sid's board now you should see our King Of Tone pedal and Sunface NKT on it too. "

According to Analogman's pedalboard photo, Anastasio used Boss PSM-5 power supply in his pedalboard.

According to Analogman's website, Anastasio used Boss BF-2 flanger, which looks slightly brighter than the usual versions.

According to Analogman's webiste, Anastastio used the Boss TU-12H tuner pedal back in 2002.

According to 2004 concert photos, Anastasio used old RMC3 wah pedal.

"We did some Way Huge SUPA PUSS mods for Trey in 2015, as the BLEND on them comes up too fast, he just wanted a little delay so we found a mod to make it easier to dial in."

Coming from several artists who are more than capable of affording an original Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe such as Trey Anastasio, Michael Landau and others, they choose the Black Cat Vibe above all else. There’s a reason for this.

Trey most frequently uses the pitch bender, which allows the user to bend pitches using the expression pedal to various degrees up or down. Trey almost always uses this feature in its middle position, which is 2 half steps down. So by depressing the expression pedal, the guitar tone sweeps down two half steps, eg, from an Bb to an Ab. Then as your sweep the pedal back up, the tone returns to the original note. In early 3.0, Trey was experimenting with this sound, dubbed the “Whale,”

At 3:10 the Cry Baby can be seen next to the two Tube Screamers. He mentions that 'it's off most of the time'.

Anastasio has been using an Alesis Microverb since the mid-80's. "It's like a backwards delay," the guitarist said at (6:00). "It's a delay, but it's flipped around backwards, so it comes toward you," he said.

At 6:00 Trey mentions this pedal and says he's "been using it since Nectar's".

"The Seymour Duncan SH-1s ... are the same pickups in Trey's guitars" - from Paul Languedoc, who made Trey's guitars. "I've tried other pickups in my guitars and I always come back to the Duncan."
