All my fellow morbid angel listeners.........What amp and effect setup does Trey use?? I know theres delay and a phaser in there somewhere but what kind, and also what amps? Ive been working on making a good duplicate of his sound just to mess around on with my Digitech 2101 but i want to know if anyone has exact specs on his sound. Morbid angel rocks!!!

Re: Morbid Angel???
I never liked trey's tone...I know he relied on Pro Co Rat distortion as his "secret weapon"...that's probably what I didn't like about his tone...way too mushy...
but he's a pretty cool player...I was more partial to Eric Rutan's tone ..
he used to have a huge rack of shit ...now he uses a much simplier set up these days..but the pro co Rat is still there...you can always hear it in his tone... all these years.. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]"Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"

Re: Morbid Angel???
On Stage Pedals from the Heretic Tour (from left to right; DOD Flanger, MXR Phaser, Morley Bad Horsie 2, footswitch for dual channel rackmount ProCo RAT)
Older diagram of his setup (basic setup is still the same)
I can't find my images of his micing setup, but he usually has 4 mics setup, one on his "less wet" cab in standard position (one in the typical SM57 position), on his "more wet" cab he had three obscure mics setup. 1 arranged with a blastic bowl going completely over the entire speaker with the SM57 poking through the bottom of the bowl; another covered in a bubble of plastic (think of it like the SM58's spit cover, but just plastic and around an SM57) and the other 57 setup with a fan between the speaker and the mic.Comment

It helps obtain weird sounds. If you listen to their albums a lot of the solos that Trey pulls off are with weird micing techniques. Formulas has a lot of the weird micing setups for the solos. If you have the "Love Of Lava" bonus CD, or the Heretic "Bonus Levels" CD you can hear a lot of that stuff.
I'm pretty sure the solo in "At One With Nothing" (From Gateways) at like 1:40 is with the fan setup and some heavy delay.Comment

Re: Morbid Angel???
Yes I think I have an article somewhere where Trey explains all the weird techniques he uses to get the sound he does on his solos... Definately creative [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]Comment

Re: Morbid Angel???
I've talked with him a few times about this. He says that the Eventide is only for the stereo effect. Not sure about that one. Otherwise JCM 900'S and Pro Co.Comment
