Hey Rarebird that's some great advice.besides his GUITAR!!! which I think is on the top of the list the TS9 and ross compressor really are a big part of it. Trey ToneFirst off, Trey doesn't use his wah all the time. I know a lot more if you have any questions so don't hesitate to ask! :D Trey also has a pretty sweet Digitech Whammy II pitch shifter that he uses quite a bit. Basically any combination of compressor and tube screamer is going to get you something similar. There are a number of options you could consider. I highly suggest you sit down and learn his complex compositions, and a lot of his licks will naturally pop up in your playing. It wouldnt matter if he played this stuff thru a junk solid state amp with no reverb, he'd still rip some very original tasty licks. I've tried to emulate it for a year or two, but what it REALLY comes down to is Trey's chops. Trey's setup is amazingly complex, and it's literally a rat's nest of cables and equipment. Trey plays Schaller Golden 50 Humbuckers through a 67 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp, with a bunch of modifications done to it by all sorts of amp doctors. Trey's tone is very midrange 7-9, with the bass and treble around 4.5 Keeley Electronics makes some amazing products. If you want the closest you can get to the original ross and vintage ts-9. Second, the key to trey's tone is his Ross Compressor coupled with his Ibanez TS-9 tube screamer. First off, Trey doesn't use his wah all the time.
