![]() Wouldn’t Trey need just one or the other? He needed both for this run because they were trying to reduce the footprint of the rig and use only one DRY cabinet (in previous tours he used two). These cabinets are mic’d with Royer Labs R-121 Ribbon mics.Ī note on head-switching: there have been several inquiries as to why both the push-pull knob and floor switch are necessary to switch heads. There is no dedicated delay for the WET speakers as there had been in the past, so the WET side is Reverb-only. They’re loaded with Celestion F12-X200 speakers, which are neutral, full-range speakers that you might see in an AXE-FX rig. These were custom made for the WET rig, and only amplify – in stereo – the reverbs created by the Bricasti Reverb. This cabinet is mic’d with a Royer R-122V vacuum tube ribbon mic and a Shure Beta 57a. The amp that is not ON at any given moment is seeing a resistance load from the switch box to protect its transformers. When both heads are in use, a custom switch box controlled by the Bradshaw rig permits Trey to select which amp head the DRY 1×12 is seeing at any given time. It’s loaded with a single G12-65H speaker, as per Trey’s usual preference. It matches the woody appearance of the Trainwrecks and also vibrates a little more freely without the extra tolex and glue. Currently Trey is using a “naked”, i.e., uncovered Bruno cabinet. Both heads have access to reverb via the wet rig (see below). ![]() By the fourth night of the MSG run, Trey was down to a single Trainwreck head and the DIRECT rig was just a backup. Trey selects between amps by pulling a push-pull knob on the guitar and pressing a floor switch simultaneously. The DIRECT amp has no effects in front of it and the EFFECTS has the full Bradshaw effects rig in front of it. 2 x Trainwreck Express (1 DIRECT, 1 EFFECTS).A four night Spring run at Madison Square Garden in New York City brought some real excitement to aficionados of Trey’s rig, including details on a new ground-up wet/dry rig, newly plek’d and fretted guitars, and Whammy whale-calls so real that an actual whale showed up.
