Trey Gunn

Trey Gunn got a Mini Bicomp in 2012 for playing with The Security Project, playing early Peter Gabriel music with members of Peter's band

The Electro-Harmonix Microsynth. I love this sound. I just love it. It does the cool thing that guitar players just can not do: sound like a cello. And a fuzzed out crazy cello it we want. I give David Bottrill credit for getting me hooked on this one, too. We were mixing the cd "The Joy of Molybdenum" when some of the master tapes got lost in the mail. Which meant we didn't have enough material to complete the record. While Bob Muller was hunting down the UPS guy, Bottrill, Tony Geballe and I went into "fury" mode and recorded a new track. This became "Brief Encouter". Bob and I had already made the foundation months ago, but the track wasn't completed enough to warrant inclusion on the cd. However now we had no choice. David and I came up with a possible form and Tony laid down the acoustic guitar solo near the beginning. Then David pulled out his Microsynth which he got me to solo on for the ending. I was sold 1000%. It was a totally synthy sound that David didn't put any reverb on. David was like that - he could made an extremely dry sound fit into the mix. I've had one in my rig ever since. And while I must admit that Native Instruments Guitar Rig has a microsynth module that I now use onstage (because it is totally programmable), I still have to keep the analogue one here in my home studio, ready to go.
